Table 5 Univariable and multivariable logistic regression of factors associated with being a subsequent TB case in a cluster (a surrogate for recent infection) compared to being the first case or a non-clustered case, in England, Wales and Northern Ireland from 2010 to 2014

From: The impact of HIV infection on tuberculosis transmission in a country with low tuberculosis incidence: a national retrospective study using molecular epidemiology

  1. OR: odds ratio, IMD: index of multiple deprivation score
  2. ≠Adjusted for all variables shown in the table. The multivariable model included 16,171 TB cases after 2693 were excluded due to missing data on one or more of sex (n = 20), ethnicity (n = 470), time since entry to the UK (n = 2041), IMD score (n = 489) and/or TB lineage (n = 2)
  3. †Cases missing data were considered not to have these social risk factors
