The association with smoking persisted after adjustment for gender (OR 3.24, 95% CI 1.05 to 9.96; <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.04).

The median pre-operative erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) was 20 mm\/hour in cases (n = 13) and 9 mm\/hour in controls (n = 22). The median pre-operative C-reactive protein (CRP) levels were 12 mg\/L in cases (n = 8) and 3 mg\/L in controls (n = 6) (normal: &lt;8 mg\/L).
