Orosomucoid: a promising biomarker for the assessment of exercise-induced fatigue triggered by basic combat training

Table 2 OR for severe EIF among recruits with ΔORM ≥ cut-off

ΔORM	Cases	Post-BCT RPE score		Incidence of severe EIF (%)	OR (95% CI)	p value of OR
ΔORM	Cases	≤ 14	> 14	Incidence of severe EIF (%)	OR (95% CI)	p value of OR
< Cut-off value	38	30	8	21.1	Referent	0.009
≥ Cut-off value	15	6	9	60.0	5.625 (1.542–20.523)

Cut-off value of ΔORM = 0.2565 mg/mL. Severe EIF was defined as post-BCT RPE score > 14
BCT basic combat training, CI confidence interval, EIF exercise-induced fatigue, ΔORM changed level of ORM during BCT, calculated as the level after BCT minus that before BCT, OR odds ratio
