Odds Ratio for the association between the variable and maternal morbidity, adjusted for all other variables in the final multivariate model.
Adjusted for multi-morbidity, Adjusted for multi-morbidity and gender, Adjusted for multimorbidity, gender and age.
IRR – incidence rate ratio, 95% – confidence interval, DDDs – defined daily doses Adjusted for multi-morbidity, Adjusted for multi-morbidity and gender, Adjusted for multimorbidity, gender and age.
Analysing the association between exposure and psychological morbidity and adjusting for multiple symptoms, we found that having multiple symptoms was associated with psychological morbidity (OR 4.7; 95% CI 3.4 to 6.5), irrespective of exposure level.
For instance, CD4 cell count declines are more rapid following HIV infection among older people living with HIV disease 7 and older age is also associated with an increased risk of AIDS-related morbidity after adjusting for the CD4 count 8. CD4 cell count and HIV VL are used by clinicians to indicate the stage of HIV infection and guide ART decisions.
Cox regression was used to model the association between time to death and multi-morbidity adjusting for relevant covariates.
The co-morbidity score was significantly higher in AD participants compared to controls but turned out non-significant for nine of ten recorded co-morbidities when adjusting for age and gender.
This finding is similar to that reported in the NHANES I Epidemiologic Follow Up Study in the United States which also found that older persons living alone did not differ from those living with others on the number of medical morbidities, and adjusting for the number of chronic conditions did not reduce the relative risk of mortality associated with living alone [ 20].
Logistic regression analysis was used to assess the independent effect of ART on composite outcome (death and/or any of the three neonatal morbidities) after adjusting for the following confounding variables: maternal age, parity, multiple type (triplets), GA, sex and SGA status.
In seven municipalities, significant differences between neighbourhoods existed for perinatal morbidity (adjusted OR ranging from 1.33 to 2.38) and for perinatal mortality (adjusted OR ranging from 2.06 to 5.59).
