Notably, all four Cy-TB-positive cases (100%) had at least one comorbid condition, compared to 67% (n=61) of negative cases, representing a marginally significant trend (χ2=3.247, p=0.072).

a marginal trendp=0.073so close (0.05 < p ≤ 0.1)

Urban residence demonstrated a marginal trend (p=0.073), with all four positive cases residing in urban areas (7.4% prevalence in urban residents versus 0% in rural residents), which is compatible with the possibility of higher TB exposure in densely populated urban settings but cannot be confirmed from our data.

However, a highly significant difference was observed in dialysis duration, with positive cases having a substantially shorter duration of dialysis (3.75±2.87 months) compared to negative cases (38.4±30.1 months), representing a mean difference of 34.65 months (t=-3.347, df=93, p=0.001).
