Multivariate analysis for clinical management and outcome variables
| Pre-travel consultation (compared to no pre-travel consultation)a | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Unadjusted odds ratio (95% confidence interval) | Partially adjusted odds ratio (95% confidence interval)b | Fully adjusted odds ratio (95% confidence interval)c | |
| Infectious Disease Consult | 5.1 (3.6–7.2) | 5.4 (3.8–7.7) | 3.1 (1.9–5.3) |
| Gastroenterology Consult | 0.3 (0.1–0.6) | 0.2 (0.1–0.5) | 0.4 (0.2–0.9) |
| Mean Days of Hospitalization | p = 0.009 | p = 0.06 | p = 0.006 |
| Pre-travel consult | 1.8 days | 1.8 days | 1.8 days |
| No pre-travel consult | 3.3 days | 3.3 days | 3.3 days |
| Stool sample obtained | 1.9 (1.4–2.5) | 1.9 (1.4–2.5) | 1.6 (1.1–2.4) |
| Antimicrobial prescribed | 1.6 (1.2–2.2) | 1.7 (1.2–2.3) | 1.6 (1.1–2.5) |
aA nominal logistic model was used for categorical variables. Least squares means were used to estimate the mean hospitalization duration based on a linear model. P values were calculated based on least squares means
bPartially adjusted model included age, sex, and race
cFully adjusted model included age, sex; race; local residence; employment; travel destinations (Central America, South America, Sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia, Southeast Asia, Northeast Asia, Caribbean); unsanitary food and water consumption; rural location; hiking; camping
