Abbreviations: CI, confidence interval; HR, hazard ratio; IPTi, intermittent preventive treatment in infants; OR, odds ratio.

a The odds ratio is the relative change in the odds of being susceptible due to the intervention.

b Event dependence occurs when the primary effect is estimated by stratifying on event order.

c Standard error not estimated; CI is not presented.

d Covariates consist of sex, place of residence, and season of birth.

e Model did not fully converge.
