Multiple etiologies of infectious diarrhea and concurrent infections in a pediatric outpatient-based screening study in Odisha, India

Table 8 Comparison of the role of single infection vs multiple infections on average motions per day

	n	No. of motions/day (min–max)	Mean average no	SD	Two-sample independent t test
Single infection	30	2–30	10.71	12.6	Equal variance (0.001015)**
More than one infections	44	12–25	17.5	3.2	Unequal variance (0.006885)**

n total number of cases
min minimum, max maximum
Two-sample independent t test using OpenEpi (Version 3), open source calculator revealed significantly higher number of motions per day among cases with multiple infections compared to those with single infection based on both equal variance (p = 0.001015) and unequal variance (p = 0.006885)
** Statistically extremely significant
