Multivariable logistic regression analysis of factors associated with OSSN
| Exposure | Adj ORa (95% CI) | P value |
|---|---|---|
| HIV infection and ART usea | <0.001 | |
| HIV− | 1 [Reference] | |
| HIV+/ART− | 48.42 (7.73–303.31) | |
| HIV+/ART+ | 19.16 (6.60–55.57) | |
| No HIV or ART data | 9.38 (3.78–23.29) | |
| History of allergic conjunctivitis | 74.61 (8.08–688.91) | <0.001 |
| Sun exposure in current occupation | 1.24 (1.10–1.40) | 0.001 |
| Hat or cap worn outdoors | 0.22 (0.07–0.63) | 0.01 |
| Highest education level | 1.55 (0.91–2.65) | 0.11 |
The mean (SD) CD4 count with respect to HIV and ART was; HIV‐ was 926(298) cells/mm3; HIV+/ART‐ was 258(196) cells/mm3; HIV+/ART+ was 314(225) cells/mm3; and missing HIV/ART data was 136 (101) cells/mm3.

We used the combined HIV/ART variable because the effect of HIV would be related to ART use.
