UCF: urethrocutaneous fistula; HR: hypospadias repair.
An odds ratio > 1 with P < 0.05 indicates a greater likelihood of development of UCF, while an odds ratio < 1 with P < 0.05 indicates a lesser likelihood of development of UCF. An odds ratio = 1 with P < 0.05 indicates the given factor could not affect the development of UCF, but was significant in multivariate logistic regression model.
