Predictors of pain response after endoscopic ultrasound-guided celiac plexus neurolysis for abdominal pain caused by pancreatic malignancy

Table 3 Multivariate analysis for predictors affecting pain response after 1 wk by endoscopic ultrasound-guided celiac plexus neurolysis

Independent variables	OR	95%CI	P value
Ganglia invisible	4.9	2.25-17.91	0.011
Invasion of celiac plexus	13.2	3.02-46.27	0.003
Distant metastasis	6.84	2.34–19.15	0.022

Summarizes the results of the multivariate analyses of the predictive factors associated with pain relief by EUS-CPN. The only independent predictive factors that achieved statistical significance in the univariate analysis were included. CI: Confidence interval; EUS-CPN: Endoscopic ultrasound-guided celiac plexus neurolysis; OR: Odds ratio.
