Impact of iron fortification on the geospatial patterns of malaria and non-malaria infection risk among young children: a secondary spatial analysis of clinical trial data from Ghana
Conclusion
In a clinical trial setting of iron fortification, where all children receive treated bed nets and access to malaria treatment, there may be geographical variation in the risk of infection with distinct high-risk and low-risk areas, particularly around municipal centres.
