From: Increased prevalence of renal cysts in patients with sickle cell disease
SCD (% of cohort) | Control group (% of cohort) | Odds ratio (95% CI) | Relative Risk (95%CI) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
>1 renal cyst (no. with bilateral cysts) | 58% | 20% | 5.4 (2.6–11.0) | 2.8 (1.9–4.2) |
Average number of cysts (in patients with >1 cyst) | 3.76 | 1.94 |
