Table 3 Multiple logistic regression analyses of potential predictors of anal fistula plug success.
| Variable | OR (95% CI) | P |
|---|---|---|
| Hemoglobin (each 1 g/L increase) | 0.978 (0.949–1.007) | 0.138 |
| Duration of fistula (mo, ≥6/<6) | 3.187 (1.361–7.466) | 0.008 |
| Distance between external Opening and anal verge (each 1 cm increase) | 0.939 (0.675–1.305) | 0.707 |
| OR – odds ratio; CI – confidence interval. Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that the duration of anal fistula ≥6 months was an independent risk factor for treatment failure using the anal fistula plug (OR=3.187, 95% CI: 1.361–7.466, =0.008). | ||
