The characteristics of women included in the Maternal Malaria and Malnutrition (M3) initiative from the following 7 out of 13 M3 studies: FSP/MISAME-BF, STOPPAM-Benin, STOPPAM-Tanzania, ITN-Kenya, EMEP/IPTp-MON-Kenya, Sek-PNG, ECHO-DRC.

The independent effects of (a) malaria infection at enrollment and (b) malaria infection at delivery on risk of low birthweight and mean birthweight among women enrolled in 1 of 13 studies from the Maternal Malaria and Malnutrition (M3) initiative.

<p>The inverse probability of treatment weighted (IPTW) estimates controlled for confounding between malaria at enrollment and low birthweight (LBW) by maternal age, gravidity, area of residence, mid-upper arm circumference at enrollment, and HIV infection. IPTW estimates controlled for confounding between malaria at delivery and LBW and additionally controlled for anemia and number of doses of antimalarial intermittent preventive therapy received during pregnancy. aRR, adjusted risk ratio; BF, Burkina Faso; BW, Birthweight; CI, Confidence interval; DRC, Democratic Republic of the Congo; LBW, Low birthweight; N/A, not available; N/C, no model convergence; PNG, Papua New Guinea.</p

The independent effect of malnutrition at enrollment, (a) mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC) < 23 cm and (b) Body Mass Index (BMI)* < 18.5 kg/m², on risk of low birthweight (LBW) and mean birthweight among 14,633 women enrolled in 1 of 13 studies from the Maternal Malaria and Malnutrition (M3) initiative from 1996 to 2015.

<p>BMI is adjusted for gestational age to reflect the estimated first trimester weight.

Prevalence of malaria infection at enrollment, malnutrition (mid-upper arm circumference [MUAC] < 23 cm or body mass index [BMI] < 18.5 kg/m²), and joint malaria infection and malnutrition among 14,633 live birth pregnancies from women participating in studies (years 1996–2015) included in the Maternal Malaria and Malnutrition (M3) initiative.
