Factor | Case households | Non-case households | OR (95% CI) | P value |
---|---|---|---|---|
Sleeping on a bed | 22 (22/22) | 100 (100/100) | –* | –* |
Thatch and/or mud as housing construction material | 19 (19/22) | 49 (49/100) | 6.6 (1.8–23.7) | 0.003† |
Ownership of zero livestock | 1 (1/22) | 30‡ (30/236) | 0.3 (0.0–2.5) | 0.433 |
Ownership of 1–3 livestock vs. zero | 17 (17/22) | 84‡ (84/236) | 6.1 (0.8–47.6) | 0.103 |
Ownership of 4+ livestock vs. zero | 4 (4/22) | 122‡ (122/236) | 1.0 (0.1–9.1) | 0.578 |
Sleeping outside | 22 (22/22) | 98 (98/100) | 0.0 (0.0–§) | 0.796 |
Ownership of (a) bovid(s) | 19 (19/22) | 160‡ (160/239) | 0.3 (0.1–1.1) | 0.102 |
OR could not be computed, because there were zero case households not sleeping on a bed and zero non-case households not sleeping on a bed.
Significantly increases the chances of contracting VL.
Calculated from Genesis Laboratories, Inc. Rasulpur village census survey in 2010.
95% CI cannot be calculated because of a zero in the data.
