dc.description.abstract | Purpose: The Maternal Malaria and Malnutrition (M3)
initiative has pooled together 13 studies with the hope
of improving understanding of malaria–nutrition
interactions during pregnancy and to foster
collaboration between nutritionists and malariologists.
Participants: Data were pooled on 14 635 singleton,
live birth pregnancies from women who had
participated in 1 of 13 pregnancy studies. The 13
studies cover 8 countries in Africa and Papua New
Guinea in the Western Pacific conducted from 1996 to
2015.
Findings to date: Data are available at the time of
antenatal enrolment of women into their respective
parent study and at delivery. The data set comprises
essential data such as malaria infection status,
anthropometric assessments of maternal nutritional
status, presence of anaemia and birth weight, as well
as additional variables such gestational age at delivery
for a subset of women. Participating studies are
described in detail with regard to setting and primary
outcome measures, and summarised data are available
from each contributing cohort.
Future plans: This pooled birth cohort is the largest
pregnancy data set to date to permit a more definite
evaluation of the impact of plausible interactions
between poor nutritional status and malaria infection in
pregnant women on fetal growth and gestational
length. Given the current comparative lack of large
pregnancy cohorts in malaria-endemic settings,
compilation of suitable pregnancy cohorts is likely to
provide adequate statistical power to assess malaria–
nutrition interactions, and could point towards settings
where such interactions are most relevant. The M3
cohort may thus help to identify pregnant women at
high risk of adverse outcomes who may benefit from
tailored intensive antenatal care including nutritional
supplements and alternative or intensified malaria
prevention regimens, and the settings in which these
interventions would be most effective. | |
