  1. Total protein, prealbumin and albumin/globulin were significantly correlated to albumin (r > 0.6). They were not included in multivariable analysis. Similar reason was for mean hemoglobin concentration
  2. Note CI = confidence interval; CRP = C-reactive protein; ESR = erythrocyte sedimentation rate; FC = fecal calprotectin; Hb = hemoglobin; FDP = Fibrinogen Degradation Products; NLR = neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio; PT = prothrombin time
