Data are presented as n (%) [Exact Pearson-Clopper 95% confidence interval].
ABR = auditory brainstem response; N = number of patients in the respective per-protocol population
Based on a review by an independent audiologist (fully blinded).
P < 0.0001 for the one-sided null hypothesis that the incidence rate of ABR Wave III latency change is ≥ 15% in the artemether-lumefantrine group.
