Adjusted odds ratios associated with risk of anthroponotic cutaneous leishmaniasis lesion and scar, based on multiple logistic regression model, using village as a random effect variable
| Variable | Adjusted OR (95% CI)a |
|---|---|
| Lesion | |
| Age group (compared to 0–4 y) | |
| 5–19 y | 1.17 (0.90–1.52) p = 0.320 |
| >20 y | 0.48 (0.35–0.65) p < 0.001 |
| Lesion prevalence in other household members | 1.10 (1.09–1.11) p < 0.001 |
| Scar | |
| Age group (compared to 0–4 y) | |
| 5–19 y | 2.52 (1.93–3.29) p < 0.001 |
| >20 y | 1.99 (1.48–2.69) p < 0.001 |
| Refugee camp (compared to local village) | 1.48 (1.03–2.14) p = 0.040 |
| Scar prevalence in other household members | 1.08 (1.07–1.11) p < 0.001 |
aOR, odds ratio; CI, confidence interval.
