3.6 Predictive clinical and laboratory parameters for tumor
necrosis
Among the various clinical and laboratory parameters assessed for
association with TN, using TN as a continuous variable as well as at
cut-offs of 90%TN, 94%TN (median TN), type of surgery was predictive
at all the above three assessments and male gender at a cut-off of
90%TN. Amputation had a higher risk of poor histological necrosis
compared to LSS (OR:2.1, p=0.014) as was male gender (OR:1.9, p=0.01).
