Severe acute malnutrition (SAM) is currently defined by the WHO as either a low mid-upper arm circumference (i.e. MUAC <115 mm), weight-for-height z-score WHZ <− 3), or bilateral pitting oedema. and do not always identify same children having SAM. This has generated broad debate, illustrated recent article Grellety & Golden (BMC Nutr. 2016;2:10). Regional variations in proportion of selected each index seem mostly related to differences body shape, including stuntedness. However, practical...
Children who receive therapeutic feeding for wasting treatment but do not reach the anthropometric definitions of recovery (usually within 12–16 weeks) are categorised as ‘non-responders’ and considered failures. We conducted a pooled analysis to explore growth trajectories non-responders appropriateness definition ‘non-response’. 14 studies children aged 6–59 months receiving wasting. included classified by their recovered or non-responders. Observing data non-responders’ mid-upper arm...
The use of proportional weight gain as a discharge criterion for MUAC admissions to programs treating severe acute malnutrition (SAM) is no longer recommended by WHO. critical limitation with the was that children who are most severely malnourished tended receive shorter treatment compared less children. Studies have shown using ≥ 125 mm eliminates this problem but concerns remain over duration required reach and whether safe. This study assessed safety practicability community based...
The objectives of this study were to (i) describe the relationship between weight changes and MUAC in children aged 6 59 months during treatment for SAM CMAM programmes three country contexts (Malawi, Ethiopia Bangladesh) admitted using (ii) sensitivity both episodes disease experienced MUAC.Data collected under research conditions Malawi analysed correlation Pearson product-moment coefficient (Pearson's r). Further data from other implemented field Bangladesh similarly analysed. association...
Children with weight-for-age z-score (WAZ) <-3 have a high risk of death, yet this indicator is not widely used in nutrition treatment programming. This pooled secondary data analysis children aged 6-59 months aimed to examine the prevalence, outcomes, and growth trajectories WAZ versus ≥-3 receiving outpatient for wasting and/or nutritional oedema, inform future protocols. Binary outcomes between admissions were compared using logistic regression. Recovery was defined as attaining...
Using mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC) to identify severe acute malnutrition (SAM) tends younger and stunted children compared alternative anthropometric case-definitions. It has been asserted by some experts, without supporting evidence, that with low MUAC may have normal weight for height treatment ready use therapeutic food (RUTF) will cause excess adiposity, placing the child at risk non-communicable diseases (NCD) later in life. is recommended aged less than 6 months should not be...
ABSTRACT Purpose Children living with disabilities (CLWD) are at high risk of malnutrition but have long been marginalised in treatment programmes and research. The 2013 World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines for Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM) mention disability do not contain specific details or support. This study assesses inclusion CLWD national international SAM guidelines. Methods National were sourced online via direct enquiries. Eight scoping key informant interviews conducted...
