Effects of geohelminth infection, parasite species and parasite
burden on primary outcomes.
Geohelminth infections to 13 months, 2 and 3 years of age were not
significantly associated with primary outcomes (supplementary Table 2).
Maternal geohelminth parasite species or parasite burden were not
associated with primary outcomes (Table 3). The presence of any T.
trichiura infection within the first 5 years of life was associated
with a reduced prevalence of wheeze (adj. OR 0.57, 95% CI 0.35-0.94,
P=0.029), while moderate to heavy parasite burdens with A.
lumbricoides at 5 years were associated with an increased risk of
wheeze (adj. OR 2.83, 95% CI 1.13-7.13, P=0.027) and asthma (adj. OR
2.60, 95% CI 1.13-6.00, P=0.025).
