Table 3. Analysis of the Relationship of β-tubulin Genotype with Patient and Parasitological Independent Variables Before Treatment.

N = 183 female worms OR 95% CI p
Age of patient 0.97 0.93–1.00 0.081
No. females/nod. 0.94 0.73–1.21 0.629
CMFL 41–60 mf/ss 0.81 0.13–5.15 0.819
CMFL 61–70 mf/ss 1.93 0.44–8.49 0.385
CMFL 71–114 mf/ss 0.44 0.06–3.15 0.413
No. nod. 1994 1.00 0.81–1.22 0.976

Odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) for logistic regression of heterozygote status (vs. homozygote) of worms collected before ivermectin treatment on four independent variables. No. females/nod. = total number of females in the nodule; No. nod. 1994 = total number of palpable nodules in 1994; CMFL = Community Microfilarial Load (reference category: 10–40 microfilariae per skin snip (mf/ss)).
