Preterm Birth and Malaria Susceptibility in Offspring of Uninfected Multigravid Women
In this cohort study of young children, the association between PTD and the hazard of malaria varied based on maternal gravidity and maternal infection history during pregnancy. This information could be used to evaluate the health effects of active monitoring of P falciparum infection or adherence to malaria chemoprevention in children born preterm.
