Associations between enrollment groups and identification of lesions at enrollment using ultrasonography

Comparison groups (LAE present) Relative riska 95% CI P-value
Case versus controls
 Arrival fever cases versus arrival controls 1.45 0.27 to 7.67 0.663
 Post-arrival fever cases versus post-arrival controls 11.96 2.34 to 61.07 0.003
 Post-arrival no fever cases versus post-arrival controls 3.24 0.33 to 31.42 0.311
 Post-arrival fever cases versus post-arrival no fever cases 3.69 1.37 to 9.97 0.010
Case versus case
 Arrival fever cases versus post-arrival cases (fever and no fever cases combined) 0.52 0.13 to 2.04 0.352

Relative risk is the ratio of the rate of disease in the first group divided by the rate of disease in the second group in that comparison.

LAE — lesion at enrollment; 95% CI — 95% confidence interval calculated for each relative risk using Poisson regression in a log linear model for comparison group effects and correcting for intra-pen clustering of disease with generalized estimating equations.
