Table 4 After doing multivariate logistic regression analysis, serum abnormal potassium level [adjusted odds ratio 2.27 (95%CI: 1.06-4.84)], was found to be associated with development of refractory ascites

	P values	Odds ratio	95%CI for odds ratio
	P values	Odds ratio	Lower	Upper
GI bleed	0.392	1.394	0.651	2.988
Serum BUN > 25	0.506	1.342	0.564	3.191
Creatinine level	0.295	1.166	0.875	1.556
INR > 1.7	0.429	1.388	0.616	3.131
Serum potassium abnormal	0.034	2.270	1.064	4.845
MELD-Na score	0.956	1.016	0.575	1.797

BUN: Blood urea nitroge; INR: International normalized ratio; MELD-Na: Model for End-Stage Liver Disease-Sodium; GI: Gastrointestinal.
