Estimates are based on a logistic model of 40 261 children younger than 5 years with rapid diagnostic test status. Using these coefficients, rapid diagnostic test status was then predicted for 161 443 children. PfPR2–10=mean (logit-transformed) Plasmodium falciparum prevalence in children aged 2-10 years.
