BANA-Positive Plaque Samples Are Associated with Oral Hygiene Practices and Not CD4+ T Cell Counts in HIV-Positive Patients

Table 4

Association between BANA with oral hygiene adjusted for grouped and ungrouped CD4+ T cell counts.

			Ungrouped CD4+ T cell counts
Independent variables		Grouped CD4+ T cell counts (𝑃 values) (CMH test)	(Logistic regression model)
			Odds ratio	95% CI	𝑃 values
BANA	Brushing^a	0.0897	0.50	0.22–1.14	0.1154
	Interdental aids^b	0.0174	0.35	0.14–0.85	0.0244

^aNo statistical significance observed between BANA and brushing with grouped and ungrouped CD4+ T cell counts.
^bStatistical significance observed between BANA and interdental aids with grouped and ungrouped CD4+ T cell counts.
