Monthly follow-ups were carried out for 1 year to document incident dysentery cases (acute diarrhea with visible blood in stool) and gather socio-environmental data. Cumulative incidence of dysentery was calculated.

Children in slum areas showed a significantly higher cumulative incidence (19.0%) compared with those residing in BSUP colonies (11.7%). Multivariable logistic regression confirmed that living in a slum was associated with an elevated risk (adjusted OR = 1.85; 95% CI: 1.13\u20133.02;\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 0.015).
