Table 4.

Predicted ORs for diarrhea and bootstrap 95% CIs associated with unimproved water and sanitation at rainfall endpoints (from December of 2008 to May of 2009)

1 Day of extreme rainfall* 5 Days of extreme rainfall*
OR 95% CI OR 95% CI
Households with an unimproved water source 1.35 0.13–5.09 6.81 1.87–24.51
Households with unimproved sanitation 2.93 1.30–6.64 1.28 0.74–2.16
*

Extreme rainfall days are defined using a threshold equivalent to the 90th percentile of the daily rainfall distribution (> 18 mm) and summed over the 5 weeks before the end of the 15-day case control period.

Adjusted for children under 5 years, household population, household ownership, and improved sanitation or water source.
