Notes: The assumptions for the application of multivariate logistic regression analysis were fulfilled by using Hosmer and Lemeshow test, and the model was adequately fitted (P=0.151). For explanatory variables having more than two categories, the overall significance of P-value was used. Significant values are in bold.
Abbreviations: MTCT, mother-to-child transmission; COR, crude odds ratio; CI, confidence interval; AOR, adjusted odds ratio.
