Table 5 Multivariate analysis of potential parameters in predicting symptomatic radiation pneumonitis.
Parameters | P value | OR | 95% CI |
---|---|---|---|
Pre/end ratio of pre-albumin | 0.001 | 2.750 | 1.504–5.028 |
PLR during RT | 0.027 | 3.408 | 1.146–10.135 |
NLR at the end of RT | 0.001 | 5.322 | 1.940–14.600 |
OR – odds ratio; CI – confidence interval; PLR – platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio; RT – radiation therapy; NLR – neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio. |
