Antibody levels to recombinant VAR2CSA domains vary with Plasmodium falciparum parasitaemia, gestational age, and gravidity, but do not predict pregnancy outcomes

Table 5 Regression analysis of mean antibody levels to VAR2CSA domains at enrollment on maternal anemia

Outcome	Gravidity^a	Adjusted OR (95% CI)^b	p value
Mild anemia	Primigravid	0.88 (0.29–2.71)	0.8
