1993年7月至1995年6月在加纳北方的Kassena-Nankana区进行的一项经杀虫剂处理的蚊帐的随机分组对照试验报告，在预防6-59个月儿童的全因死亡方面的功效为17%。一项直到2000年底的随访发现，在随机干预结束后，ITN组的任何年龄组的死亡率都没有增加的迹象。这些结果应进一步鼓励在恶性疟原虫高发地区使用驱虫蚊帐作为疟疾控制工具。
A 17% efficacy in preventing all-cause mortality in children aged 6-59 months was previously reported from a cluster-randomized controlled trial of insecticide-treated mosquito nets (ITNs) carried out in the Kassena-Nankana District of northern Ghana from July 1993-June 1995. A follow-up until the end of 2000 found no indication in any age group of increased mortality in the ITN group after the end of the randomized intervention. These results should further encourage the use of ITNs as a malaria control tool in areas of high endemicity of Plasmodium falciparum.
