CRP and exstrophy-epispadias complex: However, subgroup analyses by histological subtype yielded intriguing results: a one-unit increase in log-transformed CRP concentration corresponded to an 11% increased risk of EEC (OR = 1.110, 95% CI: 1.000–1.231, P = .049) and a 25% increased risk of NEC (OR = 1.250, 95% CI: 1.005–1.555, P = .045) when applying the IVW method.
