Systemic Inflammatory and Hematologic Biomarkers in Pediatric Dental Caries: Clear Group Differences with Limited Independent Association with DMFT.

Age itself showed a strong, highly significant negative association with DMFT in all models ( β around −1.1, p < 0.001), indicating that, within this caries group, younger children tended to have higher DMFT scores.

AISI showed a borderline significant negative association with DMFT ( β = −0.001, 95% CI −0.001 to 0.010, p = 0.0496), while SIRI, SII, NEU, IIC, and NLR showed similar negative trends with p -values between 0.05 and 0.10.

The analysis proceeded in a stepwise manner, beginning with age- and sex-adjusted univariate regression models for each inflammatory parameter, followed by a multivariable model including biomarkers that demonstrated at least borderline significance ( p < 0.10) in univariate testing.

Several additional parameters showed borderline differences (0.05 < p < 0.10), including IIC, MCV, dNLR, SII, and SIRI, suggesting potential trends that did not reach statistical significance in this cohort.

The composite index IIC showed a trend toward higher values in the caries group, although this did not reach statistical significance.
