^aLogistic models with generalized estimating equations (GEE) were used to predict disease status in 1–14 year old children in one year after baseline survey.

^bModel includes only baseline disease status and region plus the variable listed in the first row.

^cModel includes variable listed in first column plus: baseline disease status, previous diagnosis of Leishmaniasis, whether children visit parks in the evening, region, age (0–4, 5–9, 10+), sex, type of dwelling (isolated apartment, municipal apartment, private house), and floor.
