Newborns’ (n = 321) oral HPV prevalence at birth is shown with their mothers’ and fathers’ baseline HPV status at specific anatomic sites. Associations of newborns' oral LR- and HR-HPV presence with their mothers' and fathers' corresponding LR- and HR-HPV presence at specific anatomic sites were calculated by using univariable and another-parent adjusted multinomial logistic regression analyses. Results are shown by ORs and another-parent aORs with 95% CIs. Reference category for HPV positive was HPV negative. Statistically significant results (P < .05) are shown in bold.

Abbreviations: aOR, another-parent adjusted odds ratio; CI, confidence interval; HPV, human papillomavirus; HR, high-risk; LR, low-risk; OR, odds ratio.

aMothers' HPV adjusted by fathers' HPV and vice versa.
