Relation between placental malaria infection or maternal peripheral parasitaemia at delivery and infant haemoglobin level (g/L) during the first year of life in district of Allada, Benin 2010–2012, N = 337 (multilevel linear regression).

Hb: Haemoglobin; 95% CI: Confidence Interval to 95%
† Adjusted for estimation of pre-pregnancy body max index, infant malaria infection, fever episode and inflammatory syndrome, acid folic concentration at birth and infant age
* Estimated by maximum likelihood method
** Estimated by restricted maximum likelihood method.
The intraclass coefficient of Hb variations was estimated at 0.35. Thus, 65% of the total variance could be explained by the model.
