To examine the relationship between CDAI and the occurrence of SO, multiple logistic regression analyses were performed. Subgroup analyses were performed to demonstrate the stability of the results.

In the multivariate logistic regression crude model, we revealed an odds ratio (OR) of 0.928 [95% confidence interval (CI), 0.891\u20130.965, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.001] for the correlation between CDAI and SO. The ORs were 0.626 (95% CI, 0.463\u20130.842) and 0.487 (95% CI, 0.354\u20130.667) for CDAI tertiles 2 and 3, respectively (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> for trend &amp;lt;0.001), after full adjustment. The subgroup analysis findings demonstrated a reliable and enduring connection between CDAI and SO across various subgroups. However, the strength of the correlation between CDAI and SO was significantly affected by diabetes (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> for interaction\u2009=\u20090.027).
