Cost-effectiveness of intermittent preventive treatment of malaria in infants (IPTi) for averting anaemia in Gabon: a comparison between intention to treat and according to protocol analyses

Elisa Sicuri, Prosper Biao, Guy Hutton, Fabrizio Tediosi, Clara Menendez, Bertrand Lell, Peter Kremsner, Lesong Conteh, Martin P Grobusch Malaria Journal 2011, 10:305 (17 October 2011)

The findings in this paper focus on two topics: (i) the cost-effectiveness of IPTi at averting anaemia and (ii) the influence of using according to protocol trial analysis as the measure of effect, as opposed to the more commonly used intention to treat.

Cost analysis of school-based intermittent screening and treatment of malaria in Kenya

Thomas L Drake, George Okello, Kiambo Njagi, Katherine E Halliday, Matthew CH Jukes, Lindsay Mangham, Simon Brooker Malaria Journal 2011, 10:273 (20 September 2011)

This paper analyses the costs of intermittent screening and treatment (IST) of malaria in schools on the Kenyan coast.In the current context, IST is a relatively expensive school-based malaria intervention, but costs can be reduced by simplifying the protocole.
