^aCOR crude odds ratio
^bAOR adjusted odds ratio
The predictors of hepatitis B viral infection among 3537 tuberculosis patients were presented. The binary logistic regression outputs for each predictor were presented using the adjusted odds ratio and P-values. Hepatitis B viral infection was associated with HIV, female sex, chronic illnesses, and problematic alcohol use
