Effects of de-worming on changes in nutritional indicators (secondary outcomes) at various follow-ups from baseline among 194 children from south-west Yunnan province, P.R. China, who participated in the randomized controlled trial conducted from October 2011 to May 2012.

aValues are number of children (% change from baseline) or mean (Δ from baseline), unless otherwise stated. bDifferences in the changes between follow-up and baseline among the intervention groups are adjusted for village, and at the individual level for sex and age at follow-up. Values are calculated from a multivariate linear regression model, presented as coefficient (95% confidence interval) and highlighted in bold if statistical significance is achieved (P<0.05). For percentage stunted, the χ2 test is used and thus, no 95% confidence interval is presented. cStunting is defined as ≤−2 HAZ score. dP-value calculated from χ2 test comparing % stunted between ALB and PLB for statistical significance. ALB: triple-dose albendazole; PLB: placebo; n.d.: not determined.
