*Variables with p<0.1 in Table 2 were included in multivariate unconditional logistic regression analysis. Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test was used to assess the model fit for logistic regression. OR, odd ratio; CI, confidence interval; NA, not available, indicating not included in the final model.
†One dependent variable (infection with pandemic [H1N1] 2009 virus) and 5 independent variables (age of index case-patient, type of exposure to index case-patients, age of close contacts, relationships to index case-patients, and exposure duration of close contacts) were included in multivariate analysis. One independent variable (age of index case-patient) was removed in the stepwise regression equation. The goodness-of-fit test suggested that the logistic regression model fitted well (p = 0.631).
‡One dependent variable (infection with pandemic [H1N1] 2009 virus) and 4 independent variables (age of index case-patient, type of exposure to index case-patient, age of close contacts, and exposure duration of close contacts) were included in multivariate analysis. Two independent variables (age of index case-patient and type of exposure to index case-patient) were removed in the stepwise regression equation. The goodness-of-fit test suggested that the logistic regression model fitted well (p = 0.982).
§One dependent variable (infection with pandemic [H1N1] 2009 virus) and 5 independent variables (age of index case-patient, type of exposure to index case-patient, age of close contacts, relationships to index case-patient, and exposure duration of close contacts) were included in multivariate analysis. Two independent variables (age of index case-patient and exposure duration of close contacts) were removed in the stepwise regression equation. The goodness-of-fit test suggested the logistic regression model fitted well (p = 0.751).
¶Exposed to symptomatic index case-patients before their illness onset or exposed to index case-patients who had subclinical infections.
