Results and univariate analysis of the placental parameters, evaluated by histology, according to the species of Plasmodium infection during pregnancy†.

†Women were grouped according to their malaria diagnoses during pregnancy, based on microscopy data. (IQ) 25th and 75th percentile. (n) number of women. (%) percentage (N/A) not applicable. For differences between groups all continuous variables were Ln-transformed and one-way ANOVA tests with Bonferroni post-tests were performed. Chi2 tests were used to evaluate differences in categorical variables between groups.
