Data are presented as participant number or value (proportion of participants and/or 95%CI). N, Number of participants with different HB vaccination history; %, proportion of participants with different HB vaccination history among total participants; 95%, 95% confidence interval; GMC1, calculated on all the participants with specific vaccination history; GMC2, calculated on the participants other than HBsAg positive. For HBsAg seropositive rate: P = 0.0019 among the participants with confirmed, unknown or none vaccination history; P = 0.0004, 0.0097, 0.7192 for confirmed vs. unknown, confirmed vs. none, unknown vs. none, respectively; within 24 h vs. beyond 24 h: P = 0.1123. For anti-HBs alone seroprotective rate: P < 0.0001 among the participants with confirmed, unknown or none vaccination history; P < 0.0001, < 0.0001, = 0.0010 for confirmed vs. unknown, confirmed vs. none, unknown vs. none, respectively; within 24 h vs. beyond 24 h: P = 0.1345. For GMC1: P < 0.0001 among the participants with confirmed, unknown or none vaccination history; P < 0.0001, = 0.0002, = 0.5083 for confirmed vs. unknown, confirmed vs. none, unknown vs. none, respectively; within 24 h vs. beyond 24 h: P = 0.3482. For GMC2: P = 0.0014 among the participants with confirmed, unknown or none vaccination history; P = 0.0006, 0.0035, 0.4855 for confirmed vs. unknown, confirmed vs. none, unknown vs. none, respectively; within 24 h vs. beyond 24 h: P = 0.2172. For multiple comparison, Bonferroni adjustment was used with α’ = α/month = 0.05/3 = 0.0167.
