Indicator | Age group | Unit used in Spectrum | Data source and comment |
---|---|---|---|
PfPR | 2ā9Ā years | % of children infected, as weighed median for the Admin1 population, after excluding the population living at 0.0 PfPR | MAP. The category with 0 PfPR, and its exclusion from the Admin1ā²s weighted median PfPR, are needed to convert burden and coverage rate between the population withĀ >Ā 0 PfPR in Spectrum (onto which OpenMalaria-based impact regressions are applied) and WHO official country estimates which includes populations with 0 PfPR |
Case incidence | 0ā4, 5ā14 and 15+Ā years | Population-weighted average rate, for population living atĀ >0 PfPR a | WHO national estimates, allocated across Admin1Ā s, according to case incidence and population size distributions estimated by MAP for that year. 2014 rates applied in 2015 |
Malaria-attributable mortality | <5 andĀ ā„5Ā years | Population-weighted average rate, for population living atĀ >0 PfPR a | WHO national estimates for 0ā4 vs 5+Ā years, allocated by Avenir Health to Admin1Ā s and the 5ā14 vs 15+Ā years sub-age groups, according to distribution in case incidence from MAP for that year. 2014 rates applied in 2015 |
Seasonality index CV_MAP_EIR | N/A | Population-weighted average, for population living atĀ >0 PfPR a | Swiss TPH and MAP See Additional file 1. Time-constant |
Population who slept under an ITN last night | All age total | Population-weighted average, in two variants: 1. Actual (including population living at 0 PfPR a ) to inform ITN distributions for costing; 2. Effective coverage (limited to population living atĀ >0 PfPR a ), used for impact calculation | N.B. Unlike Bhatt and colleaguesā 2015 national-level estimates, the MAP and Spectrum ITN coverage data at pixel and Admin1 unit level did not assume that āall ITNs are distributed among households situated in malaria-endemic regionsā |
IRS: % of people protected | All age total | Population-weighted average, in two variants: National (including population living at 0 PfPR a, for whom 0 ITN usage is assumed); Effective coverage (limited to population living atĀ >0 PfPR a ) | WHO. Allocated from WHOās national total to Admin1Ā s through the algorithm shown in TableĀ 3 For 2015, calculate coverage based on the WHO-reported number of people protected in 2014 |
Case management coverage, uncomplicated cases | All age total | Population-weighted average, constant across all Admin1 units in a country, irrespective of PfPR | National estimate for 2015 of the proportion of fevers in children 0-4Ā years treated with an ACT [26], applied at 2014 and 2015 and to all age groups. |
Population size | 0ā4Ā years, 5ā14 years, 15+Ā years | Total, including people atĀ >0 PfPR | MAP, for both total population, and population atĀ >0 PfPR |
