Missing values in the maternal vaccine study arm were: small for gestational age/low birthweight, 13 (placebo), 6 (vaccine); and indoor cookstove, 1 (placebo), 3 (vaccine).
Missing values in pneumococcal carriage were: small for gestational age/low birthweight, 13 (S. pneumoniae +), 6 (S. pneumoniae −).
Abbreviations: CI, confidence interval; NA, not applicable; S. pneumoniae, Streptococcus pneumoniae.
