d
Disability-adjusted life years.
e
Total number of episodes averted is theoretical and relies on the assumption that formal treatment is sought for any case of suspected malaria. The total number is higher than the sum of inpatients and outpatients episodes averted because number of outpatient episodes considers that only a proportion of pregnant women with symptoms of malaria, actually, seeks formal treatment.
