Parasitemia reported as median (lower quartile – upper quartile).

^a Significantly different from hemoglobin AA in the generalized estimating equation analysis (unadjusted P = .044; P = .018 adjusted).

^b Significantly different from hemoglobin AA in the generalized estimating equation analysis (unadjusted P = .011; P = .005 adjusted).

^c Significantly different from hemoglobin AC in the generalized estimating equation analysis (unadjusted P = .036; P = .019 adjusted).
