Because children may manifest multiple complications of severe malaria, some subjects contributed data to >1 clinical subgroup.

Compared with Hp2-1 genotype as the reference group, analyzed in a logistic regression model including all genotypes.

Compared with Hp2-2 genotype as the reference group, analyzed in a logistic regression model including all genotypes.

Adjusted for gender, ethnic group, sickle status, and α+thalassemia type.
