Predictors of hepatomegaly from multivariable-adjusted logistic model accounting for clustering
Predictors | aOR | 95% CI |
---|---|---|
S. mansoni uninfected* | Ref | Ref |
Light | 1.14 | (0.67–1.95) |
Moderate | 1.36 | (0.90–2.04) |
Heavy | 2.21 | (1.19–4.11) |
Malaria | 1.23 | (0.71–2.11) |
A. lumbricoides | 0.81 | (0.47–1.39) |
T. trichiura | 1.11 | (0.56–2.20) |
Hookworm | 0.68 | (0.38–1.22) |
Age | 1.2 | (0.93–1.53) |
Normal Hb† | Ref | Ref |
Mild | 1.34 | (0.87–2.07) |
Moderate/Severe | 1.16 | (0.58–2.31) |
Wasting | 0.66 | (0.47–0.92) |
Stunting | 2.1 | (1.30–3.40) |
Female | 0.73 | (0.52–1.03) |
S. mansoni infection | 1.38 | (0.95–1.99) |
Any STH | 0.92 | (0.58–1.47) |
Light = 1–99 eggs per gram (epg); moderate = 100–399 epg; Heavy = ≥ 400 epg.
Normal ≥ 11.2 g/dL; Mild = 8.2 to < 11.2 g/dL; moderate = 5.2 to < 8.2 g/dL; severe = < 5.2 g/dL.
Schistosoma mansoni infection and any soil-transmitted helminths (STH) infection are results from a model with these variables collapsed into binary outcomes.
