Table 4. Short-term effects of influenza dynamics on pneumococcal risk using multivariable negative binomial regression analysis.
Negative Binomial Regression Analysis | Incidence Rate Ratio | 95% Confidence Interval | p-Value |
Influenza A and B (combined, per 100 infections), 1-wk lag | 1.092 | 1.047–1.138 | <0.001 |
Influenza A and B (combined, per 100 infections), 3-wk lag | 0.932 | 0.890–0.976 | 0.003 |
UVI average, 1-wk lag | 0.927 | 0.893–0.963 | <0.001 |
UVI average, 3-wk lag | 0.946 | 0.917–0.976 | <0.001 |
Relative humidity, 1-wk lag (%) | 0.995 | 0.991–1.000 | 0.03 |
Mean temperature, 2-wk lag (°C) | 0.993 | 0.984–1.002 | 0.14 |
Mean temperature, 4-wk lag (°C) | 1.004 | 0.995–1.012 | 0.39 |
Model is also adjusted for year and seasonal oscillation.
