TABLE 3.

Association between high blood glucose (diabetes/pre‐diabetes) and type of tuberculosis among the study population using multinomial logistic regression analysis where ‘normal blood glucose level’ was considered as reference for the dependent variable (n = 350)

High blood glucose	Type of TB	UAOR	p‐value*	AOR ^b	95% Confidence Interval for odds ratio
High blood glucose	Type of TB	UAOR	p‐value*	AOR ^b	Lower Bound	Upper Bound
Diabetes	PTB	1.454	<.001	4.280	2.305	7.946
Diabetes	EPTB (Ref.)	0 ^a
Pre‐diabetes	PTB	1.501	<.001	4.488	2.531	7.958
Pre‐diabetes	EPTB (Ref.)	0 ^a

Abbreviations: AOR, adjusted odds ratio; EPTB, extrapulmonary tuberculosis; PTB, pulmonary tuberculosis; Ref, reference; TB, tuberculosis; UAOR, unadjusted odds ratio.

^{^a}

This parameter is set to zero (0) because it is redundant

^{^b}

Adjusted for modifiable risk factors of high blood glucose: current tobacco use, overweight and central obesity.

Statistically significant at the threshold of p < .05.
