3.5 Risk of Invasive Streptococcus pneumoniae Infections Compared to combined parental post‐secondary education, a trend toward a higher risk of pneumococcal infections was seen among children with parental secondary or primary education, although the results did not reach statistical significance (adjusted ORs 1.13, 95% CI 0.97–1.32 and 1.09, 95% CI 0.82–1.45, respectively) (Table 2 ).

Lower maternal education showed a slight trend towards increased risk of severe bacterial infections (ORs: primary education 1.10, 95% Cl 0.97–1.24; secondary education 1.07, 95% Cl 0.98–1.17).
The overall results suggested a trend toward a somewhat elevated risk for invasive bacterial infections among children with lower parental income and education, but the results did not quite reach statistical significance.
