Univariate Odds Ratios for Lymphatic Filariasis Infection Predictors

5.5 KB of odds ratios and confidence intervals from univariate logistic regression models for antigenemia and microfilaremia. The dataset, authored by Ram Kumar Mahato and published on figshare, uses age group 20–29 years, male sex, and non-participation in MDA as reference categories. It was last updated on April 24, 2026.

Use Cases

• Assessing the protective effect of MDA participation based on odds ratios for infection.
• Comparing infection odds across different age groups relative to the 20–29 year reference.
• Evaluating sex-based differences in infection risk using male as the reference category.
• Estimating confidence intervals for predictors of antigenemia (CFA positivity) and microfilaremia.

Strengths

• Odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals are explicitly provided for two infection outcomes.
• Reference categories for age, sex, and MDA participation are clearly defined.
• The dataset is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is very small (5.5 KB), indicating limited scope.
