Abbreviations: CI, confidence interval; CRP, C-reactive protein; I-FABP, intestinal fatty acid binding protein; IL-6, interleukin 6; NA, not applicable; OR, odds ratio; sCD14, soluble CD14.

aThe number of cases and controls with available data is shown for each biomarker.

bOdds ratio for mortality between 6 and 12 months of age based on quartiles of biomarkers measured in plasma at 6 months of age, adjusted for maternal parity and marital status, and infant sex, 6-month weight, and 6-week viral load in a logistic regression model.

cCould not be estimated due to insufficient data.
