*Variables for geographic location of metropolitan areas and live bird markets were adjusted to account for clustering effects in univariate and multivariate analysis. NA, not applicable; OR, odds ratio.
†Only statistically significant relationships are shown for adjusted OR (95% CI) data and corresponding p values.
‡The weekly cleaning variable was removed from the multivariate model because of collinearity. Model fit: model χ2 76.29, p<0.001, df 11; adjusted generalized R2 0.596.
