Bivariable and multiple logistic regression analyses of predictors for having high TB stigma^a among HIV-infected TB patients.

TB, tuberculosis; HIV, human immunodeficiency virus; OR, odds ratio; AOR, adjusted odds ratio; CI, confidence interval; variables for which p≤0.20 in bivariable analyses and potential confounders were included in multiple logistic regression analysis. aTB stigma score ≥1; TB stigma score is a summary score of the number of TB stigma questions (see Table 1; each question was worth 1 point) that a patient answered consistent with stigma. bCompared with being treated in Bangkok. cPatients who had extra-pulmonary TB other than peripheral lymphatic TB or had all of the following characteristics: self-reported weight loss >10% of body weight, coughing up blood, difficulty breathing in past 4 weeks before TB diagnosis, and cavitary TB or >1/3 involvement of either lung at the initial evaluation.本研究相关术语及分析说明如下：结核病（TB, tuberculosis）、人类免疫缺陷病毒（HIV, human immunodeficiency virus）、比值比（OR, odds ratio）、调整后比值比（AOR, adjusted odds ratio）、置信区间（CI, confidence interval）；将双变量分析中p值≤0.20的变量及潜在混杂因素纳入多因素logistic回归分析。 a：结核病耻辱感评分（TB stigma score）≥1分；TB耻辱感评分为患者作答体现结核病耻辱倾向的问题总数量（详见表1，每道问题计1分）。 b：以在曼谷接受诊疗的群体为参照。 c：罹患除外周淋巴结核之外的肺外结核患者，或同时满足以下全部特征的患者：自述体重较基线下降超过10%、咯血、确诊结核病前4周内存在呼吸困难，且初始评估时存在空洞型肺结核或单肺受累面积超过1/3。
