Does the Use of Dihydroartemisinin-Piperaquine in Treating Patients with Uncomplicated falciparum Malaria Reduce the Risk for Recurrent New falciparum Infection More Than Artemether-Lumefantrine?

Findings on total treatment failure (TTF), PCR-corrected by day 42.
This result shows that DP treatment was associated with a point estimate reduction of 54.8% in treatment failure; with lowest and highest of the estimates being 13.3% and 75.5%, respectively, and it is statistically significant.
This result is statistically significant. There was a reduction in failure in favour of DP treatment of 64.4%. The highest possible reduction was 87% and the lowest was 2% in favour of DP treatment of falciparum malaria.
