Hb dynamics in children with normal Hbs or moderate anaemia at baseline

ANAEMIA
There were 407 patients without baseline anaemia and 76 with moderate anaemia (Hb < 8 g/dL). G6PD status is detailed in Fig. Mean haemoglobin changes over time with 95% confidence intervals for all children with normal baseline haemoglobin concentrations or moderate anaemia and shown by G6PD status. There were 407 patients without baseline anaemia, defined as a haemoglobin ≥ 11 g/dL for children < 5 years and ≥ 11.5 mg/dL for 5–11 years: G6PD normal = 284 (70%), G6PD heterozygous females = 42 (10%), G6PDd males and females = 74 (18%), and 7 with missing G6PD data. Patients with moderate anaemia (haemoglobin < 8 mg/dL) numbered 76: G6PD normal = 44 (58%), G6PD heterozygous females = 9 (12%), G6PDd males and females = 22 (29%), and 1 with missing G6PD data
