Although diabetes and WBC count did not reach statistical significance in the final model, both showed borderline associations ( p = 0.052).

Pre-drainage imaging showed a trend toward significance (HR: 1.470, 95% CI: 0.980–2.220, p = 0.065), whereas age, gender, smoking, and diabetes were not statistically significant predictors ( p > 0.05 for all).

a possible trendno p-value reported

The WBC count showed a borderline association with recurrence or fistula formation (OR: 1.067, 95% CI: 0.999–1.140, p = 0.052), suggesting a possible trend toward increased risk with higher WBC levels.
