Table 3.
This table includes the Malawi Developmental Assessment Tool (MDAT) unadjusted mean (M) and standard deviation (SD) for the comparison and cerebral malaria with retinopathy (CM-R) groups. Also included are the adjusted means (Madj) and standard errors (SEadj), the adjusted between-group effect size, between-group P-value and observed power for the ancova between-group comparison. The covariates consist of age, gender, socio-economic status score and weight-for-age z score (Epi Info CDC 2000). Statically significant P-values are in bold
