GSTM1 and Jaundice: In this model, patients < 2 years old had almost 11-fold higher odds of death (OR 10.7 (95% CI 6.31–18.26)) compared with patients aged 6–18 years; patients in a state of collapse were almost 23 times more likely to die (OR 22.8 (95% CI 4.95–105.2)) compared with patients who arrived in a ‘normal’ state of weakness; Hb levels <6g/dL increased the odds of dying nearly 8-fold (OR 7.76 (95% CI 4.15–14.5)) compared with levels ≥9g/dL; and presence of jaundice increased the odds of dying 3.4-fold (OR 3.41 (95% CI 1.17–9.95)).
