Table 3.
Number of isolated viruses in each child | 1st period | 2nd period | 3rd period | 4th period | p | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
2 | 3 | 2 | 3 | 2 | 3 | 2 | 3 | ||
Samples from urban areas | 12 | 1 | 12 | 2 | 4 | 1 | 8 | 1 | 0.46 |
Samples from rural areas | 4 | 1 | 14 | 6 | 5 | 0 | 6 | 3 |
The first line of the table denotes the number of different viruses isolated concurrently in the same child. The p value, which represents the comparison of distributions in the number of isolated viruses in each child per sampling period, between urban and rural areas, was calculated with Poisson regression.
