Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Number of Subjects With Plasmodium Falciparum (P. Falciparum) Parasitaemia (PFP), for Each Survey

The Overall parasite prevalence (PP) data were collected across centers from subjects aged between and including: 6 months to 4 Years (6M-4Y), 5 to 19 Years (5-19 Y) and 20 Years or older (20Y+), for each Survey. The number of subjects P. Falciparum parasitemia infected among the number of subjects with known result for P.falciparum parasitemia test was tabulated.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Number of Subjects With Plasmodium Falciparum (P. Falciparum) Parasitaemia (PFP), According to Annual Age for Children of 4 Years or Less, for Each Survey

The overall parasite prevalence (PP) data were collected across centers from subjects aged 4 years or less, for each Survey. The number of subjects P. Falciparum parasitemia infected among the number of subjects with known result for P.falciparum parasitemia test was tabulated.

Number of Subjects With Anemia and Severe Anemia for Each Survey

The overall anemia and severe anemia data were collected across centers from subjects, aged between and including: 6M-4Y, 5-19 Y and 20Y+, for each survey. Hemoglobin (Hgb) cut-offs used to define anemia and severe anemia in people living at sea level are: Anemia: children 6M to 5Y, Hgb lower than (<) 11 gram per deciliter (g/dL); children 5-11Y, Hgb <11.5 g/dL; children 12-13Y, Hgb <12 g/dL; non-pregnant females, Hgb <12 g/dL; pregnant females, Hgb <11 g/dL; males, Hgb <13 g/dL. Severe anemia: any age or gender, Hgb <7 g/dL. Missing/ Not applicable (NA) = if age or pregnancy status was not available. Among each age category, results for both sub-categories "Yes" (subjects with anemia) and "Missing/NA" are presented below, results for the category "No" can be deduced from the number of participants analyzed in the corresponding age category, minus (number of "Yes" + number of "Missing/NA"). Similar presentation is followed for "severe anemia" results.

Brief Summary

The aim of this epidemiology study is to characterize in a standardized way malaria transmission intensity at the clinical trial centers participating in study 110021 (NCT00866619).

Detailed Description

This study is a multicenter epidemiology study at centers that are participating in GSK's pivotal Phase III candidate malaria vaccine 110021 ( NCT00866619) trial and will involve 4 annual cross sectional surveys performed preferably at peak transmission. There will be no study vaccine administered in this epidemiology study.
