Table 2. Species, episodes and severity of malaria and mean BPD z-score of women infected between the first and second scan.
Total malaria episodes | P.falciparum or mixed | P.vivax | Proportion of women with one episode | Proportion women at least one symptomatic episode | Proportion at least one hyper/severe episode | |
N = 336 | N = 96 | N = 240 | N = 336 | N = 334# | N = 336 | |
Between 1st and 2nd scan | 1 1–4 | 1 1–3 | 1 1–4 | 69.3% (233) | 49.1% (165) | 1.8% (6) |
Mean BPD z-score | −0.57 (1.1) | −0.45 (1.2) | −0.62 (1.1) | −0.51 (1.2) | −0.59 (1.1) | n.a. |
Median [min-max], or mean (SD). BPD biparietal diameter; hyper = hyperparasitaemia (≥4% red blood cells infected), n.a. not applicable, P plasmodium.
