n = sample size, PR = prevalence of P. vivax infection, AOR = adjusted odds ratio (predicted difference in odds of P. vivax infection compared to the baseline odds of P. vivax infection of the reference group), CI95 = 95% confidence intervals.

aOverall p-values for variables with multiple levels (age group and region) were derived by use of the likelihood ratio test comparing expanded (includes variable of interest) and nested (does not include variable of interest) models. P-values for the remaining variables are derived from the Wald test.
