Figure 1 Forest plot of the logistic regression in Model 1 and Model 2.
A: Model 1 (Non-laboratory factors only). aAge > 65 years old, longer onset-to-visit interval, and anorexia have significantly high odds ratios, which suggests that complicated appendicitis is more likely; B: Model 2 (including laboratory factors). aOnly high CRP values have significantly high odds ratios, which suggests that complicated appendicitis is more likely. The odds ratio increases in proportion to the CRP value. CA: Complicated appendicitis; CI: Confidence interval; SA: Simple appendicitis; CRP: C-reactive protein; GFR: Glomerular filtration rate.
