Adjusted odds ratio (AOR) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of oral cancer associated with genotypic frequencies of IL-18 -607A/C and IL-18 -137G/C.

The odds ratios (ORs) with their 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated by logistic regression models. The adjusted odds ratios (AORs) with their 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated by multiple logistic regression models, after controlling for gender, age, alcohol, tobacco, and areca consumption. Group 1: individuals with CC of IL-18 -607 and GG of IL-18 -137; Group 2: individuals with at least one of the following, including A/C or A/A of IL-18 -607, or G/C or C/C of IL-18 -137; Group 3: individuals with A/C or A/A of IL-18 -607, and G/C or C/C of IL-18 -137.
