NOTE. Separate regression analyses are shown for each of the 3 outcomes: any diarrhea, diarrhea-related clinic visit, and prolonged diarrhea. Table displays odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) from generalized estimating equation (GEE) models. ORs marked with an asterisk are significant at P < .05. The adjusted ORs are adjusted for the other factors shown in the adjusted column of the table as well as for age.

^aProlonged diarrhea is defined as a diarrheal episode lasting at least 7 days.
