	n	Mean FEC (epg) (95% CI)	FECR (%) (95% CI)	Significant pairwise comparison
ALB×1	102	1193 (867.2–1590)	29.3 (−9.9–56.2)	ALB×2, MBZ×2
MBZ×1	103	1075 (863.2–1305)	60.0 (48.5–70.9)	MBZ×2
ALB×2	90	1262 (977–1578)	73.5 (64.2–81.3)	ALB×1, MBZ×2
MBZ×2	90	1122 (899–1371)	87.1 (81.4–91.2)	ALB×1 and 2, MBZ×1

Note: ALB×1: a single-dose albendazole 400 mg; ALB×2: a repeated single-dose albendazole 400 mg across 2 consecutive days; MBZ×1: a single-dose mebendazole 500 mg; MBZ×2: a repeated single-dose mebendazole 500 mg across 2 consecutive days; 95% CI: 95% confidence interval; epg: eggs per gram stool; n: number of subjects.
