^dParasitemia is in log₁₀ number of parasites per milliliter, the clinical score is the cumulative clinical score, OPG is the osteoprotegerin concentration (in picograms per milliliter), angiopoetin-2 is the angiopoetin-2 concentration (in picograms per milliliter), vWF is the von Willebrand factor concentration (in milliunits per milliliter), the platelet count is in 10⁹ cells per liter, P. falciparum represents the P. falciparum-inoculated group, and P. vivax represents the P. vivax-inoculated group. P values represent the P values of the correlation.
