Table 3 Table summarizing multiple linear regressions for IgG againist Pfg27. Increase in age decreased the IgG concentration by 7.12 ng/ml but body weight and Hb level increased the concentration of IgG against Pfg27 by 3.118 and 2.223 ng/ml respectively in children with HbSS but both decrease and increase were not statistically significant. On the other hand, there was a decrease in IgG concentration against Pfg27 by 0.016 ng/ml with an increase in age but body weight and Hb level increased the IgG concentration by 0.006 ng/ml and 0.004 ng/ml (p = 0.028) respectively
| IgG against | Hemoglobin type | Factor | B | P - value |

| Hb level (g/dl) | 2.223 | 0.822 | ||
| HbAA | Age (year) | −0.016 | 0.118 | |
| Body weight (kg) | 0.006 | 0.07 | ||
