DNI, deep neck infection; OR, odd ratio; 95% CI, 95% confidence interval; NLR, neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio; GW admission, general wards admission; ICU admission, intensive care unit admission. Data in parentheses are 95% confidence intervals, conducted on variables with a value of <0.05 on univariate analysis. Bold values are statistically significant with a value less than 0.05.
