Table 2 Distribution of the studied microorganisms isolated from OSAS patients, and from matched healthy controls without OSAS (Control) expressed in terms of OR. Statistical analysis was performed using a Z-test on the logarithm of the OR (significance level of the test = 0.05).
Organism | Exposed | OR | 95%CI | p value | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
OSAS (n = 40) | Control (n = 80) | ||||
S. pyogenes | 19 (47.5%) | 9 (11.2%) | 7.14 | 2.81–18.10 | <0.0001 |
S. aureus | 15 (37.5%) | 28 (35.0%) | 1.11 | 0.51–2.45 | 0.79 |
H. influenzae | 8 (20.0%) | 2 (2.5%) | 9.75 | 1.96–48.45 | 0.005 |
S. pneumoniae | 7 (17.5%) | 2 (2.5%) | 8.27 | 1.63–41.94 | 0.001 |
M. catarrhalis | 3 (7.5%) | 0 (0.0%) | NC | NC | NC |
S. intermedius | 2 (5.0%) | 0 (0.0%) | NC | NC | NC |
S. constellatus | 1 (2.5%) | 1 (1.2%) | 2.03 | 0.12–33.25 | 0.62 |
S. agalactiae | 1 (2.5%) | 0 (0.0%) | NC | NC | NC |
S. equisimilis | 0 (0.0%) | 1 (1.2%) | NC | NC | NC |
P. aeruginosa | 0 (0.0%) | 1 (1.2%) | NC | NC | NC |
