Appendix 8—figure 1. Relationship between age and mean white count (modelled on the log₁₀ scale).

This is estimated from 858 children in the FEAST trial who had white counts available using an additive linear model ($p={10}^{-8}$ for the smooth spline term). We used this model to adjust observed log₁₀ white counts in all children less than 5 years of age in the reference and Kenyan datasets.
