Cross-sectional analysis assesses IPTp-SP uptake among pregnant women in Kenya, suggesting ANC attendance impacts utilization.

Optimal IPTp-SP utilization for pregnant women in the study is only 60%, falling short of the WHO target of 80%.
Bivariate analysis shows higher IPTp uptake associated with stable factors; with aOR of 8.42 for attending ANC at least 4 times.
Multivariable logistic regression identifies age and education levels as significant predictors for IPTp-SP usage.
Investigating factors influencing IPTp uptake provides insights toward improving malaria management in pregnant women.

Angute et al. (2025) studied this question.
