Comparing Distribution of Covariates Among Deceased Infants with Laboratory-Confirmed Respiratory Syncytial Virus Status (Chi-Square)
| Variable | Number of Observations | OR | 95% Confidence Limits | P |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Symptom-based case definitions for respiratory disease (case vs control) | 377 | 5.2 | 1.2–23.7 | .02 |
| Place of death (hospital vs community) | 377 | 2.6 | .8–8.4 | .10 |
| Gender (male vs female) | 377 | 1.2 | .4–3.7 | .74 |
| Age (0–3 months vs ≥3 months) | 377 | 1.2 | .3–5.7 | .78 |
| Age (non-neonatal vs neonatal) | 377 | 5.5 | 1.7–18.01 | .0016 |
| Seasonality (high vs low) | 377 | 4.4 | 1.4–13.3 | .0051 |
Number of observations shows the total number of enrolled live-birth infants tested for RSV = 377. The outcome is RSV-positive status. Abbreviations: OR, odds ratio; RSV, respiratory syncytial virus.
