Table 3 Univariate^a and multivariate^b analysis of preoperative factors associated with intestinal ischemia in adhesive small bowel obstruction

	Ischemia n (%)	OR (95% CI)^a	P value	OR (95% CI)^b	P value
NLR > 6.8, n (%)	26 (20.3%)	2.9 (1.41–6.21)	0.004	5.9 (2.20–18.16)	0.007
Mesenteric haziness, n (%)	15 (11.7%)	2.56 (1.11–5.88)	0.02	2.16 (0.74–6.33)	Ns
Decreased bowel wall enhancement, n (%)	7 (5.4%)	4.3 (3.34–10.9)	0.06	10.7 (0.89–19.6)	Ns
Free fluid, n (%)	33 (25.7%)	2.64 (1.08–6.16)	0.02	0.54 (0.17–1.58)	Ns
