  1. BMI body mass index, RDW-CV red blood cell distribution width-coefficient of variation, HGB haemoglobin, CRP C-reactive protein, ESR erythrocyte sedimentation rate, PCT plateletcrit, PT prothrombin time, C4 complement component 4, TBAb anti-TB antibody response
  2. ORs are calculated from binary logistic analysis (forward stepwise, conditional); italicized numbers indicated a P value of <0.05
  3. aIndices with P value < 0.05 but OR ratio close to 1
  4. bIndices with P < 0.05, but the value of OR ratio (95% CI) includes/is close to 1.000
