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)).
