  1. BMI body mass index, GLU fasting glucose, Lym counts of lymphocytes, MCHC mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration, ESR erythrocyte sedimentation rate, APTT activated partial thromboplastin time, AT3 antithrombin III, FIB fibrinogen, MPV mean platelet volume, TBAb anti-TB antibody response
  2. ORs are calculated from binary logistic analysis (forward stepwise, conditional); italicized numbers indicate a P value of < 0.05
  3. aFemale as reference
  4. bCases with negative response as reference
  5. cIndices with P < 0.05, but the value of OR ratio (95% CI) includes/ is close to 1.000
