Table 2. Placental and histological parameters according to malaria status and number of infections ¹ .

	Uninfected	MiP (total) 2	p-value	More than 1 infection 3	p-value
Placental weight (g)	557.1 [488.80, 620.00]	525.9 [492.95, 597.25]	0.374	521.6 [488.1, 579.0]	0.312
Syncytial knots (%)	10.0 [8.0, 14.25]	11 [6.5, 14.5]	0.799	10.5 [7.5, 12.5]	0.789
Barrier thickness (μm)	4.17 [3.56, 6.61]	4.11 [3.61, 4.58]	0.936	4.52 [4.25, 5.12]	0.023
Monocytes (%)	2.02 [1.20, 3.12]	2.22 [1.14, 3.14]	0.793	3.13 [2.19, 4.22]	0.025

¹Data were not normally distributed, and the medians with interquartile ranges are presented. Differences between uninfected and MiP (total) groups were evaluated using Mann-Whitney rank sum tests. Differences between uninfected, one infection and more than 1 infection groups were evaluated by one-way ANOVA with Bonferroni correction. All p-values refer to differences between that group and the uninfected group (n = 84).

²Includes all women diagnosed microscopically and/or molecularly with a Plasmodium spp. infection during pregnancy (n = 44).

³Women with more than one Plasmodium spp. infection diagnosed during pregnancy (microscopically and/or molecularly) (n = 16).
