  1. Cox proportional hazards regression model adjusted by baseline (month [M]0) IgG levels to the respective antigens, by post-vaccination PfCSP NANP IgG levels and by age at baseline. Models with both cohorts combined were also adjusted by site, where Manhiça was independently associated with protection (Hazard ratio 0.3, p < 0.001).
  2. M month, CI confidence intervals, N number of children and events of clinical malaria.
