Variables with p < 0.10 in Table 1 were selected into logistic regression. Neutrophils and lymphocytes were eliminated because of their multicollinearity with NLR and PLR
The value of the Hosmer–Lemeshow test for the multivariable logistic regression is 0.827 (> 0.05), which indicates that the model’s estimate fits the data at an acceptable level
