Question: The final column in partial table 2 below shows the unadjusted logistic regression odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval [95% CI] from a case-control
The final column in partial table 2 below shows the unadjusted logistic regression odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval [95% CI] from a case-control study examining if signs of infection during pregnancy (as compared to the reference condition of not having each sign) increase the odds of the offspring developing type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), from Malcova, et al. Which ONE statement is a correct interpretation of a result from this table? Table 2. Distribution of studied parameters in children with T1DM and control patients T1DM % Controls % OR [95% CI] Signs attributable to infections during pregnancy Fever >38 deg C 78/693 11 149/1244 12 0.93 [0.70-1.25] Diarrhea 20/689 3 34/1201 3 1.03 [0.59-1.80] Skin rash 12/749 2 38/1308 3 0.54 [0.28-1.05] Group of answer choices Development of a fever in pregnancy is not significantly associated with the offspring developing T1DM because the 95% confidence interval includes 1.00 Development of a fever in pregnancy significantly increases the odds of the offspring developing T1DM, because the 95% confidence interval exceeds 1.00. Development of TIDM significantly decreases the odds of developing a fever, as evidenced by the odds ratio being less than 1.00. Development of a fever in pregnancy significantly decreases the odds of the offspring developing T1DM, as evidenced by the odds ratio being less than 1.00
