Disproportionate Distribution of HBV Genotypes A and D and the Recombinant Genotype D/E in the High and Low HBV Endemic Regions of Uganda: A Wake-Up Call for Regional Specific HBV Management

Table 3

Multilevel analysis of genotype distribution in the low and high endemic regions using multinomial regression analysis.

Variable	Categories	Endemicity		COR [95% CI]	AOR [95% CI]	value
		High	Low
Genotype	D/E	14 (20.6)	23 (36.5)	1	1
	A	30 (44.1)	30 (47.6)	1.64 [0.71 to 3.79]	1.697 [0.72 to 4.0]	0.227
	D	24 (35.3)	10 (15.9)	3.94 [1.46 to 10.64]	4.189 [1.44 to 12.18]	0.009

Reference genotype according to the model used for analysis; COR: crude odds ratio; AOR: adjusted odds ratio; significant at 95% confidence interval.
