Figure 5
Estimated mean hemoglobin in hospital attendees by number of malaria episodes in the last 63 days from infancy to adulthood (A) and during the first 2 years of life (B).
189,671 patients had no recent episodes of malaria, 30,174 had one episode, and 4,572 had two or more episodes. Figures were generated by multiple fractional polynomial regression analysis with the following covariables: number of previous malaria episodes by age, Plasmodium species, ethnic group, sex, and year. Bands represent 95% CIs.
