- Abstract
In a recent paper, Sarathkumara et al. [[1]] concluded that hantavirus infection might be an important risk factor for development of chronic kidney disease of unknown etiology (CKDu) in Sri Lanka. We would urge the authors to use their rich and valuable dataset to conduct a multivariable logistic regression analysis with CKDu as the dependent variable and I all appropriate co-variates included in the model i , as in a recent analysis of CKDu and leptospirosis [[2]].
