Second, in our analysis, the transmission route was reported as unknown for 57% of outbreak strains.
Therefore, after a preliminary conditional logistic regression analysis of the univariate odds ratios, we decided to create one composite variable for each of the major transmission route categories to allow a more meaningful analysis.
Relevant data from these networks included transmission route(s) and norovirus genotyping performed by sequence analysis of the polymerase (ORF-1) and capsid (VP1/ORF-2) regiofs of the norovirus genome.
Furthermore, we ran the analysis using the Poisson approximation, finding little difference in transmission route probabilities.
Analysis of the odds ratios for slaughterhouse transmission versus large epidemics shows that this transmission route is only influential if it is high enough (above 0.12).
The analysis was conducted on the total number of cases, as well as stratified by demographic variables, transmission route and reporting centre.
In a multivariate analysis using a multivariate logistic regression model, we analyzed factors (including province, sex, age, ethnicity, HIV transmission route) associated with low CD4 count at HIV diagnosis.
In multivariate analysis, factors significantly associated with a lower odds of low CD4 count at HIV diagnosis included HIV transmission route classified as intravenous drug use, older age, and having been diagnosed in Shaanxi province.
"This is a terrorist transmission route".
The most likely transmission route, however, is the mollusk itself.
That, however, is not considered a likely transmission route.
