95% CI: 95% confidence intervals; ETF: early treatment failure; LCF: late clinical failure; LPF: late parasitological failure; ACPR: adequate clinical and parasitological response. †Of these patients, 86.5% (95% CI, 71.2–95.5%) under 5 years old had ACPR response, while 93.8% (95% CI, 79.2–99.2%) of the patients aged between 5 and 10 years old responded with ACPR. The difference in ACPR proportions between these two subpopulations of patients was not significant (, chi-square test). ‡Of the patients responding with ACPR, 94.1% (95% CI, 80.3–99.3%) were aged <5 years old and 100% (95% CI, 88.4–100%) were aged between 5 and 10 years old. The difference in ACPR proportions between the two subpopulations of patients was not significant (, chi-square test). |
