Table 4.
Clinical Indicators of Reye’s Syndrome vs. Cerebral Malaria
| Univariate Associations | OR | 95% CI | P-value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fever Duration | 1.00 | 1.00 – 1.02 | 0.1130 |
| Haematocrit | 1.09 | 0.99 – 1.19 | 0.0820 |
| Platelets (quartiles) | 6.94 | 1.99 – 24.30 | 0.0020 |
| Parasitemia (quartiles) | 0.28 | 0.11 – 0.69 | 0.0060 |
| Multivariate Adjusted Model* | OR | 95% CI | P-value |
| Platelets (Quartiles) | 5.49 | 1.51 – 19.95 | 0.0100 |
| Parasitemic (Quartiles) | 0.43 | 0.17 – 1.07 | 0.0700 |
| AUC | 0.8965 |
Fever duration and haematocrit were removed from the model because the p-value was not significant and neither changed the odds ratios of platelets or parasitemic by more than 10%
