Epidemiology and burden of malaria in pregnancy

TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed evidence of the clinical implications and burden of malaria in pregnancy and found that successful prevention of these infections reduces the risk of severe maternal anaemia by 38%, low birthweight by 43%, and perinatal mortality by 27% among paucigravidae.
Journal ArticleDOI

Protective effects of the sickle cell gene against malaria morbidity and mortality

TL;DR: It is shown that HbAS provides significant protection against all-cause mortality, severe malarial anaemia, and high-density parasitaemia and this significant reduction in mortality was detected between the ages of 2 and 16 months, the highest risk period for severe malaria anaemia in this area.
Journal ArticleDOI

Community-wide effects of permethrin-treated bed nets on child mortality and malaria morbidity in western kenya

TL;DR: In areas with intense malaria transmission with high ITN coverage, the primary effect of insecticide-treated nets is via area-wide effects on the mosquito population and not, as commonly supposed, by simple imposition of a physical barrier protecting individuals from biting.
Journal ArticleDOI

Quantifying the Number of Pregnancies at Risk of Malaria in 2007: A Demographic Study

TL;DR: By combining data from the Malaria Atlas Project with country-specific data, Feiko ter Kuile and colleagues provide the first contemporary global estimates of the annual number of pregnancies at risk of malaria.
Journal ArticleDOI

Risk of childhood undernutrition related to small-for-gestational age and preterm birth in low- and middle-income countries

TL;DR: It is estimated that childhood undernutrition may have its origins in the foetal period, suggesting a need to intervene early, ideally during pregnancy, with interventions known to reduce FGR and preterm birth.
