*At this site, assessments were not graded as "Mild" or "Deep"; for Palms/soles the "Mild" category includes all cases with any jaundice. A change in study protocol part way through the study meant that in Kumasi, which was the first site to start and complete enrollment, limited data were available from the face and chest/abdomen in comparable form to the other study sites
