As shown in Table 3 , multilevel logistic regression analysis was performed using the diagnosis of latent TB in contacts, need for treatment, treatment initiation, and treatment completion as dependent variables, and the characteristics of the index case and cluster as independent variables; years were considered as a random effect. When compared by type of facility that index cases belonged to, other facilities showed significantly high ORs for rates of need for treatment of latent TB compared to schools (P < 0.001). 33 In this study, medical institutions had higher rates of latent TB diagnosis, need for treatment, and treatment initiation than schools.	./cache/cord-285984-hjyqg8n5.txt	./txt/cord-285984-hjyqg8n5.txt
