Odds of developing Buruli ulcer according to protective behavioral factors in comprehensive case-control study of protective and risk factors for Buruli ulcer, southeastern Australia. Potential protective behavioral factors are shown for case-patients and control participants as no. (%), except for factor analyses, which are shown as mean (SD). Odds ratios (adjusted according to age and sex) and 95% CIs are indicated. Includes binary variable for tending to outdoor cuts and scratches immediately (usually/always vs all other responses). aOR, adjusted odds ratio; BU, Buruli ulcer; OR, odds ratio.
