*Variables presented in this table were significant (P < 0.1) in bivariate analyses and were then included simultaneously in the final model to obtain adjusted odds ratios. Mixed–effects logistic regression models quantified the influence of the above variables on receiving IMCI non–severe pneumonia classification (or not) adjusted for data clustering.
