- GEE, generalized estimating equation; IUGR, intrauterine growth restriction; RR, risk ratios; MUAC, mid-upper arm circumference.
- a. Adjusted for foetal sex and low baseline MUAC.
- b. Interaction term (early pregnancy malaria parasitaemia*primigravidae) p = 0.035.
- c. Adjusted for foetal sex and low baseline MUAC.
- d. Interaction term (early pregnancy malaria parasitaemia*primigravidae) p = 0.06.
- GEE log-binomial model estimated unadjusted and adjusted risk ratios (RR) for the effect of early pregnancy malaria parasitaemia on subsequent IUGR episodes and repeat IUGR episodes (n = 544). Adjusted models stratified by gravidity. Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo, 2005–2006.
