Logistic regression model analysis of factors (components of home-based management of malaria, family social class and promptness of commencement of HMM and presentation to health facility) on malaria outcome (severe malaria and mortality)

Factors	Severe malaria β (OR) 95 CL; p value	Mortality β (OR) 95 CL; p value
Family social class (lower family social class)	0.90 (2.5) 1.65, 3.67; <0.001	−0.86 (0.4) 0.18, 1.00; 0.05
Promptness of commencement of HMM (late HMM)	−0.33 (0.7) 0.39, 1.31; 0.28	1.45 (4.3) 0.91, 20.04; 0.07
Antimalarial drugs for HMM (use of the ‘not-recommended’ antimalarial drugs	−0.94 (0.4) 0.16, 0.97; 0.04	1.32 (3.8) 0.44, 31.74; 0.23
Promptness of presentation (late presentation)	−0.30 (0.7) 0.41, 1.37; 0.34	1.89 (6.6) 1.42, 30.80; 0.02
