Multivariate model exploring the association between tuberculosis (outcome) and oral candidiasis controlling for CD4 cell count, and antifungal medication among 454 Protocol A5253 participants recruited from African sites
| Independent variables | aOR (95%CI) | P value |
|---|---|---|
| Clinical diagnosis of oral candidiasis (vs. no oral candidiasis) | 2.38 (1.22–4.66) | 0.01 |
| CD4 cell count, cells/mm3 (per 50 unit increase) | 0.92 (0.84–0.99) | 0.04 |
| Antifungal medication (yes vs. no) | 0.16 (0.02–1.19) | 0.07 |
aOR = adjusted odds ratio; CI = confidence interval.
