Note. OR = odd ratio, 95% CI = 95% confidence interval. In the univariate model, only one candidate variable was entered into the logistic regression analysis, and the crude OR (95% CI) was calculated. Because the data were sparse, the lower limit could not be calculated. (a) Variables with in the univariate model were selected as candidate influencing factors to construct a multivariate model to estimate the adjusted OR and 95% CI. Model evaluation: Hosmer–Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test, χ2 = 5.509, , which indicated a good model fit. AACG, acute angle-closure glaucoma; N-AACG, nonacute angle-closure glaucoma.
