Abbreviations: AOR, adjusted odds ratio; COR, crude odds ratio; ETEC, enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli; FDMN, Forcibly Displaced Myanmar Nationals; Inf, infinite; NA, not applicable.

NOTES: CORs, AORs, and P values are generated using logistic regression. For the adjusted model, we selected variables only for those which had an association with ETEC infection with P ≤.10 in the crude analysis.

aThe estimate was not stable due low sample size.
