Multivariable analysis between IPTp-SP and maternal parasitaemia at 36 weeks of gestation.
| Variable | Univariate regression | Multivariable regression | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| cOR 95% CI | P-value | aOR (95% CI) | P-value | |
| Parasitaemia at 36 weeks | ||||
| No SP | 1.00 (ref) | 1.00 (ref) | ||
| <3 doses | 0.86 (0.57–1.12) | 0.20 | 0.96(0.63–1.47) | 0.86 |
| ≥3 doses | 0.36 (0.25–0.52) | <0.001 | 0.44(0.27–0.70) | 0.001 |

| Reported ITN/SP usage | ||||
| No SP/ITN use | 1.00 (ref) | 1.00 (ref) | ||
| Only SP | 0.60 (0.41–0.89) | 0.01 | 0.82 (0.50–1.37) | 0.46 |
| Only ITN | 0.70 (0.39–1.23) | 0.21 | 0.96 (0.46–2.00) | 0.92 |
| Both SP and ITN | 0.36 (0.24–0.54) | <0.001 | 0.52 (0.31–0.89) | 0.02 |
cOR = crude odd ratio; aOR = adjusted odd ratio; 95% CI = 95% confident inferential; P < 0.05 are considered statistically significant; ref = reference (1.00).
