Differences in caregiving and visitor behaviors experienced by symptomatic DENV infected individuals in Iquitos, Peru, compared by sex, age, and Quality of Well-Being (QWB) score.

Fisher’s Exact tests were performed for variables (1)whether caregiving was received, (2)if the person who helped was their housemate, (3) if the person who helped had their work negatively affected, (4) if visitors were received during the illness period, (5) whether one or two visitors were received, and (6) what the relationship of the visitor was (family/friend/other). The percent of each group (and the raw number of participants) that experienced a behavior is listed, as is the p-value for the Fisher’s Exact test. Participants’ minimum QWB score during illness were split into two equal groups, ‘Low’ and ‘High’, where those with ‘Low’ QWB scores had the worse health-related quality of life during illness. Variables (1),(4), and (5) were examined at the participant level, whereas (2),(3), and (6) were examined at the visitor/helper level. For variables (1)-(6) the overall N values in the first 2 columns (sex and age) were 67, 68, 68, 70, 23, and 85, respectively. As there were 2 participants without QWB scores available, overall N values in the QWB score column were 65, 65, 65, 68, 22, and 82, respectively.
