SD = standard deviation. Given that 9/14 of the P. vivax cases were coinfected with P. falciparum, these individuals are considered in both the P. vivax and the P. falciparum columns. Individuals were only considered as non-case if they were not infected by P. vivax or P. falciparum. For categorical covariates, the count and percentage (%) were reported, whereas the mean and SD were reported for continuous covariates.
