Table 5.
Results of univariate and bivariate regression analyses (logistic model) to assess the association of H. pylori infection with anemia.
| Anemia Status by H. pylori Infection | Univariate BLR | Bivariate BLR | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Unadjusted/COR | Adjusted OR | |||||
| COR | 95% CI | p-Value | AOR | 95% CI | p-Value | |
| Anemia | 4.985 | 3.093–8.308 | p < 0.001 | 4.983 | 3.089–8.308 | p < 0.001 |
| IDA | 3.040 | 2.122–4.381 | p < 0.001 | 3.061 | 2.135–4.416 | p < 0.001 |
| Anemia morphotypes (Microcytic) | 3.269 | 2.200–4.914 | p < 0.001 | 3.289 | 2.213–4.949 | p < 0.001 |
Reference category: non-anemic; uninfected; non-iron deficiency; and normocytic anemia. COR = crude odds ratio; AOR = adjusted odds ratio.
