Outputs of the best-fitting logistic regression model for factors associated with the probability of obtaining true negative HRP2-based RDT test results at Kebisoni, Uganda.

Factors	Odds ratio	Standard error	P
Area (Kebisoni relative to baseline = Kilibwoni)	0.002	0.002	< 0.0001
Age (years)	1.017	0.005	0.002
Presence of fever at the time of presentation (relative to baseline = absence of fever at the time of presentation)	0.275	0.073	< 0.0001
January (relative to baseline = December)*	1.173	0.367	0.609
February (relative to baseline = December)*	1.414	0.458	0.285

Previous intake of antimalarials, a clinic visit in the previous two weeks, travel outside the district in the previous two weeks and sex were not significantly associated with the dependent variable.
