Table 3. Logistic regression analyses for the prevalence of HBsAg or anti-HBc in the children*.

HBsAg+ anti-HBc+/HBsAg−
aOR 95%CI P value aOR 95%CI P value
Breastfeeding 0.99 0.28–3.58 0.995 0.57 0.20–1.65 0.301
Maternal HBeAg carriage 1.69E8 0.00–∞ 0.992 8.93 2.76–28.88 <0.001
Child's age 1.01 0.68–1.51 0.968 1.44 0.97–2.13 0.068

HBV, hepatitis B virus; HBsAg, hepatitis B surface antigen; anti-HBc, antibody against hepatitis B core antigen; aOR, adjusted odds ratio; CI, confidence interval.

Including all the factors different (with a P<0.20) between the breastfed and formula-fed children except the mother's age, as which is not associated with the mother-to-child transmission of HBV [16].
