Table 2.

Difference in all admissions and slide-positive admissions before and after the decline in slide-positive admissions

	Mean incidence per 1000		MAF (95% CI)
	All admissions	Slide-positive admissions
1998–2003	45·4	19·7	0·61 (0·56–0·65)
2004–07	35·1	6·8	0·70 (0·66–0·74)
Difference	10·3	12·9	..
Expected difference (95% CI)^*	7·8 (7·2–8·4)	..	..

Expected difference in all admissions is the change in slide-positive admissions multiplied by the malaria attributable fraction from the preceding years (ie, 12·9×0·61). MAF=malaria attributable fraction.
