Table 4.
Crude and conditional predictors of Campylobacter spp.
| Characteristic | Crude OR (95% CI) | Adjusted OR (95% CI)* |
|---|---|---|
| Poverty index (poor vs. not poor) | 0.39 (0.18, 0.83) | 0.38 (0.16, 0.91) |
| Chicken in the home | 2.29 (1.06, 4.95) | 3.75 (1.44, 9.79) |
| Prior episode of AGE (of any cause) | 3.55 (1.66, 7.60) | 3.33 (1.42, 7.78) |
| Had contact with any person, inside or outside the home, with AGE in the past week† | 4.17 (1.27, 13.65) | – |
AGE = acute gastroenteritis; OR = odds ratio.
Model adjusted for 3-month age-group, residual age difference between cases and controls after matching, poverty index, chicken in the home, and prior episode of gastroenteritis.
Contact with a person experiencing AGE was excluded from the adjusted OR calculation due to cell sizes ≤ 5.
