No anemia at delivery | 0 | 0.08 | NS | 0.69 |
Anemia at delivery | – 92 (−195 to 10) | 0.08 | NS | 0.69 |
Not infected at antenatal visits | 0 | NS | 1 | NS |
Infected with Plasmodium vivax at antenatal visits | – 266 (−453 to −78) | 0.006 | 8.8 (2.4–32.5) | 0.001 |
*OR, odds ratio; NS, not significant. Significant values (<0.05) are indicated in boldface. Multivariate models adjusting for mother’s age, maternal anemia, number of previous pregnancies, and sex and gestational age of the baby. Only significant variables (p<0.10) from the linear regression model are shown. The same variables were used for logistic regression model.
†Baseline mean birthweight was 3,538 g.
