Table 3 Comparison of contact ratios for high risk before and during the pandemic

From: Effect of risk status for severe COVID-19 on individual contact behaviour during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic in 2020/2021—an analysis based on the German COVIMOD study

 

Unadjusted Contact Ratio (95%CI)

Adjusted Contact Ratio (95%CI)

Health risk

 Pre-pandemic (HaBIDS)

0.93 (0.77, 1.13)

0.96 (0.80, 1.16)

 Pandemic (COVIMOD)

0.88 (0.80, 0.97)

0.99 (0.91, 1.09)

Age risk

 Pre-pandemic (POLYMOD)

0.36 (0.30, 0.42)

0.36 (0.30, 0.43)

 Pandemic (COVIMOD)

0.74 (0.68, 0.82)

0.84 (0.76,0.92)

  1. Table 3: Contacts were right-truncated at 100 for this analysis. COVIMOD estimates were obtained by running the same models as before on the dataset modified to be compatible with HaBIDS and POLYMOD. Pre-pandemic estimates were obtained by a negative binomial regression analysis. When other adjusting variables were used, they were sex and household size for the age risk analysis, and sex and age group for the health risk analysis
