ADVERSE EVENTS, HELMINTH INFECTIONS, MALARIA, REGRESSIONS
Descriptive statistics such as frequencies and proportions were used to summarize the baseline parasitic parameters and socio-demographical characteristics of the study participants by trial arm. Data were analyzed using an intention-to-treat (ITT) approach. Comparisons were made on the proportions of adverse events (AEs) and the incidence (average number per participant) of reported AEs between the trial arms using Fisher’s exact test and Wald test following Poisson regressions with robust standard errors, respectively. Logistic regressions with robust standard errors were also used to estimate odds ratios. Wald tests were used to assess the evidence of difference in post-randomization odds between trial arms, after controlling for pre-randomization occurrence and baseline characteristics (sex, age group, weight, and malaria and helminth infections’ occurrence). Effect modification between intervention period and trial arm was also investigated using the Wald test. The geometric means of the
