Table 6 Predictors for the presence of multiple infections across all 19 extension study sentinel sites in Burundi combined with the data obtained by a mapping survey in 2014 from 14 of the 19 extension schools. All pupils (infected and uninfected, n = 20,871 observations) were included in the data. Results are from a binomial mixed model, age had been mean-centred and divided by the estimate of its standard deviation (SD). The pseudo-R 2 values for this model were pseudo-R 2 MF = 0.196; R 2 marg = 0.079; R 2 cond. = 0.479
