Increased B Cell-Activating Factor Expression Is Associated with Postoperative Recurrence of Chronic Rhinosinusitis with Nasal Polyps

Table 4

Multivariate analysis of factors associated with the recurrence of CRSwNP.

Variables	OR	95% CI
Allergic rhinitis (yes/no)	1.294	0.730-2.137	0.258
Peripheral eosinophil count (10^9/L)	1.631	0.802-1.869	0.313
Peripheral eosinophil percentage (%)	2.012	1.238-3.148	0.026
Serum BAFF level (ng/mL)	1.856	1.173-4.267	0.008

CRSwNP: chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps; BAFF: B cell-activating factor; OR: odds rate; CI: confidence interval.
