Table 4. Results of the zero-inflated negative binomial model in a multivariable analysis.

Variables Negative binomial model Zero-inflated model
Incidence Rate ratio* 95% CI P-value Odds ratio* 95% CI P-value
Population density–per km2 1.00 1.00–1.00 0.4153 1.00 1.00–1.00 0.1123
Sanitation and hygiene benchmark 1.01 0.98–1.04 0.5662
Improved water sources—% 0.99 0.97–1.02 0.6401
Distance from center of the district to nearest hospital—km 0.99 0.96–1.02 0.5354
Distance from the center of the district to the nearest lake or river—km 0.98 0.97–0.99 0.0008
Distance from the center of the district to nearest border of DRC or Kenya—km 0.99 0.98–1.00 0.0209 0.98 0.97–0.99 0.0142
Weighted incidence rate of the 1st order neighbor districts—per 100,000 1.02 1.01–1.03 0.0033 1.03 1.01–1.05 0.0002
Average annual rainfall during 2011–2015 (mm) 1.00 1.00–1.01 0.0338

*Obtained by exponentiating the estimates obtained from the model. The estimates cited herein are adjusted for all other variables in the model

†Calculation of the benchmark score and weighted incidence rate of the 1st order neighbor districts have been described in the text

‡Variable not included in the model due to insignificant association with the outcome (p-value≥0.20) in the bivariate analysis
