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.
