Case definition 1 for severe malaria was defined as an episode of malaria with positive Plasmodium falciparum asexual parasitemia (within -1 to +3 days of admission) and with one or more marker of disease severity: Prostration, respiratory distress, Blantyre score equal to or less than (≤) 2, seizures 2 or more, hypoglycemia below (\<) 2.2 millimoles per liter (mmol/L), acidosis BE ≤ -10.0 mmol/L, lactate ≥ 5.0 mmol/L or anemia \< 5.0 grams per deciliter (g/dL). The incidence of severe malaria for case definition 1 is expressed as a person year rate for each group (n/T), representing the number of events (n) reported over the risk period, which was counted in days and expressed as person years at risk (T).

Case definition 2 for severe malaria was defined as an episode of malaria with positive Plasmodium falciparum asexual parasitemia (within -1 to +3 days of admission) and with one or more marker of disease severity: Prostration, respiratory distress, Blantyre score equal to or less than (≤) 2, seizures 2 or more, hypoglycemia below (\<) 2.2 millimoles per liter (mmol/L), acidosis BE ≤ -10.0 mmol/L, lactate ≥ 5.0 mmol/L or anemia \< 5.0 grams per deciliter (g/dL) or SAE report including preferred terms (Malaria, Plasmodium falciparum infection or Cerebral malaria) within -1 to +3 days of admission. The incidence of severe malaria for case definition 2 is expressed as a person year rate for each group (n/T), representing the number of events (n) reported over the risk period, which was counted in days and expressed as person years at risk (T).

A CPFMI-PCD was defined as an episode of malaria for which P. falciparum asexual parasitemia was greater than (\>) 5000 parasites per microliter (µL) accompanied by the presence of fever \[axillary temperature greater than or equal to (≥) 37.5°C\] at the time of presentation AND occurring in a child who is unwell and brought for treatment to a healthcare facility OR a case of malaria meeting the primary case definition of severe malaria disease. The time to first or only CPFMI-PCD is expressed in terms of rate of first or only CPFMI (RfoCPFMI), that is person-year rate in each group (n/T). Analysis for this outcome was solely performed on subjects in the 5-17 months age category.

A CPFMI-PCD was defined as an episode of malaria for which P. falciparum asexual parasitemia \> 5000 parasites/µL was accompanied by the presence of fever (axillary temperature ≥ 37.5°C) at the time of presentation AND occurring in a child who is unwell and brought for treatment to a healthcare facility OR a case of malaria meeting the primary case definition of severe malaria disease. The time to first or only CPFMI-PCD is expressed in terms of rate of first or only CPFMI (RfoCPFMI), that is, person-year rate in each group (n/T). Analysis for this outcome was solely performed on subjects in the 6-12 weeks (6-12W) age category.
