In the multivariable analysis, age showed a statistical trend toward significance (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = 1.56; 95% CI: 1.00–2.43; p = 0.051), indicating that older age may be associated with an increased likelihood of meningioma relative to epidermoid cyst, though this did not reach conventional statistical significance.

Multivariable regression identified age as the most influential variable, showing a strong trend toward significance ( p = 0.051), while PLR was not an independent predictor ( p = 0.197).
