Factors associated with severe anemia and severe neutropenia among HIV-exposed, uninfected infants.

Prophylactic cotrimoxazole, maternal antenatal HAART use, and infant feeding method are included in the multivariable model, as are other significant factors from the univariate analysis.
OR, odds ratio; aOR, adjusted odds ratio; CI, confidence interval; HAART, highly-active antiretroviral therapy.
aWald chi-square.
bTo avoid confounding effect of infant feeding method, univariate estimate for effect of cotrimoxazole is restricted to formula-fed infants. Multivariable analysis includes both formula-fed and breastfed infants.
cA modest but significant interaction was noted between feeding method and maternal HAART with increased risk of severe neutropenia associated with breastfeeding from a mother receiving HAART. However, in multivariable analysis this interaction was no longer significant.
