Raw dataset for Eltayeb et al., 2015 'Macrophage migration inhibitory factor and placental malaria infection in an area characterized by unstable malaria transmission in Central Sudan'

Basic characteristics of the women were gathered using questionnaires. Maternal and cord serum levels were measured using a human MIF ELISA kit. gestweeks= Gestational weeks; antenacare=had antinatal care (1=yes, 0=no); usebednet= used bed nets (1=yes, 0=no); useironfolic = used iron or folic acid (1=yes, 0=no); Wt= weight (Maternal;kg); Ht= height (Maternal;cm), Hb= haemoglobin(Maternal; g/dl); birthwt=birthweight (Child; kg); bloodgroup (Maternal): 0=A, 1=B, 2=AB 3=O; MIFcord= MIF levels in the umbilical cord (ng/ml); MIFmother (ng/ml). Raw data file openable by PSPP, available at https://www.gnu.org/software/pspp/.

本研究通过问卷调查收集了女性受试者的基础特征信息。采用人巨噬细胞迁移抑制因子（macrophage migration inhibitory factor, MIF）酶联免疫吸附测定（Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay, ELISA）试剂盒检测产妇血清与脐带血清中的MIF水平。各变量说明如下：gestweeks：妊娠周数；antenacare：是否接受过产前检查（1=是，0=否）；usebednet：是否使用蚊帐（1=是，0=否）；useironfolic：是否补充铁剂或叶酸（1=是，0=否）；Wt：产妇体重，单位：千克；Ht：产妇身高，单位：厘米；Hb：产妇血红蛋白水平，单位：g/dl；birthwt：新生儿出生体重，单位：千克；bloodgroup：产妇血型（0=A型，1=B型，2=AB型，3=O型）；MIFcord：脐带血MIF水平，单位：ng/ml；MIFmother：产妇血清MIF水平，单位：ng/ml。原始数据文件可通过PSPP软件打开，获取地址为https://www.gnu.org/software/pspp/。
