Increased Risk of Stillbirth among Women whose Partner Has Tuberculosis

Table 3

Adjusted odds ratio estimates and 95% confidence intervals of PTB, stillbirth, and LBW for each group.

	PTB (adjusted OR 95% CI)^a	Stillbirth (adjusted OR 95% CI)^b	LBW (adjusted OR 95% CI)^c
Women or partner with TB	0.97 (0.80-1.16)	1.89 (1.09-3.16)	0.97 (0.79-1.19)
TB women with healthy partner	0.87 (0.66-1.12)	1.48 (0.61-3.09)	1.04 (0.79-1.35)
Healthy women with TB partner	1.03 (0.81-1.29)	2.13 (1.10-3.86)	0.89 (0.67-1.16)

PTB: preterm birth; LBW: low birth weight; OR: odds ratio; CI: confidence interval. ^aModel adjusted for female’s characteristics (age, ethnicity, education level, intensity of work, residence, has regular menstrual cycle, dysmenorrhea, gravidity, eat meat and eggs regularly, passive smoking, drinking, pressure of life and work, BMI, and creatinine), history of diseases in female (anemia, history of premature birth, history of natural abortion, and history of artificial abortion), and husband’s characteristics (age, ethnicity, education level, intensity of work, eat raw meat, smoking, passive smoking, drinking, pressure of life and work, SBP (mmHg), blood group, and ALT). ^bModel adjusted for female’s characteristics (ethnicity and dysmenorrhea), history of stillbirth, and husband’s characteristics (age, ethnicity, SBP, and DBP). ^cModel adjusted for female’s characteristics (age, ethnicity, education level, intensity of work, residence, has regular menstrual cycle, menstrual blood volume, dysmenorrhea, passive smoking, drinking, pressure of life and work, BMI, and creatinine), history of diseases in female (anemia, history of premature birth, and history of natural abortion), and husband’s characteristics(age, education level, intensity of work, eat raw meat, smoking, passive smoking, drinking, pressure of life and work, SBP, blood group, and ALT).
