Table 4 Multiple linear regression model of malaria burden

From: A cross-country comparison of malaria policy as a premise for contextualized appropriation of foreign aid in global health

Independent variables (unit) Malaria burden (log) (95% CI) Malaria burden (log) with small country dummy (95% CI)
Population density (log) − 0.349 (− 0.669 to − 0.030)* − 0.351 (− 0.669 to − 0.007)*
Latitude of country centroid (abs) − 0.067 (-0.081 to − 0.052)** − 0.067 (− 0.080 to − 0.051)**
Elevation (mean m a.s.l., square root) − 0.022 (− 0.040 to − 0.004)* 0.022 (− 0.040 to − 0.004)*
GDP per capita (log US$) − 1.498 (− 1.854 to − 1.142)** − 1.497 (− 1.857 to − 1.137)**
Small country (dummy) 0.013 (− 0.622 to 0.595)
R2 0.698 0.694
