Neonatal, atopic and infectious disease outcomes among children born to mothers with latent tuberculosis infection

Figures & data

Table 1 The environmental and familial modifying factors among case versus control infants

Familial/household environment
	Cases (n = 145)	Controls (n = 46)	P-value
Maternal asthma	5	2	0.65
GBS + maternal	24	9	0.82
Smoke exposure	0	4	0.02*
Pets	4	0	0.58
Siblings (mean, n)	25	11	0.80

Notes: A P-value of <0.05 was considered significant; the statistical analysis adjusted for these factors.

* indicates statistical significance.

Abbreviation: GBS, group B streptococcus.

Table 2 The cumulative infection rates among case versus control infants

Cumulative rate of infection: birth–3 years
	Cases = 103 subject years	Controls = 68 subject years	P-value
Ear	1.26/yr (n = 130)	1.32/yr (n = 90)	0.42
Lung	0.87/yr (n = 90)	2.21/yr (n = 150)	<0.001
Sinus	0.02/yr (n = 2)	0.12/yr (n = 8)	0.06

Note: A P-value of <0.05 was considered significant.

Table 3 The cumulative atopic rates among case versus control infants

Cumulative atopic events
	Subject years	Number of events	Rate/year
Case group	103	29	0.28
Control group	68	32	0.47

Note: A P-value of <0.05 was considered significant.
