Table 4.
Effect of known TB contact and TBI prevalence of municipality on risk factors associated with children’s odds of TBI
Variable | Known TB contact OR (CI 95%) | No known TB contact OR (CI 95%) |
Age 5 years or older. Referent group: younger than 5 years | n/a* | 1.6 (1.1–2.3)** |
Mother or primary caregiver with known TB. Referent group: no reported TB contact or the known TB contact is not a primary caregiver or mother | 1.8 (1.2–2.7)** | n/a* |
High-burden municipality. Referent group: low-burden municipality (TBI prevalence < 7%) | 1.6 (1.1–2.4)** | 2.8 (2.0–3.9)*** |
Variable | High–TBI-burden municipality (≥ 7%) OR (CI 95%) | Low–TBI-burden municipality (< 7%) OR (CI 95%) |
Age 5 years or older. Referent group: younger than 5 years | 1.4 (1.0–1.9)** | n/a* |
Known contact with TB. Referent group: no reported TB contact | 3.4 (2.4–4.8)*** | 6.1 (3.4–11.1)*** |
Displaced from home following earthquake. Referent group: no reported displacement | n/a* | 0.5 (0.3–0.98)** |
Mother or primary caregiver with known TB. Referent group: no known TB contact or known TB contact that was not either subject’s mother or other primary caregiver | 1.8 (1.1–3.1)** |
OR = odds ratio; TBI = tuberculosis infection.
n/a indicates P-value > 0.05.
P-value < 0.05.
P-value < 0.001.
