CI = confidence interval; EAEC = enteroaggregative Escherichia coli; ETEC = enterotoxigenic E. coli; OR = odds ratio.

*

List-wise deletion was used to handle missing variables, and the asterisk (***) indicates that exposure to a risk factor was a perfect predictor of the outcome.

Adjusted for age and gender.

The number of cases of both ETEC and the respective pathogen (or cases without pathogen identified, as relevant) included in each case–case variable.

§

“Unknown” calculated with denominator of number of observations for each outcome variable.
