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 2010 earthquake in Haiti displaced about 1.5 million people, many of them into camps for internally persons. It was expected that disruption breastfeeding practices would lead to increased infant morbidity, malnutrition and mortality.Haiti's health ministry the United Nations Children's Fund, collaboration with local international nongovernmental organizations, established baby tents areas affected by earthquake. provided a safe place mothers breastfeed non-breastfed infants receive...
Background. Fabry disease (FD) is caused by an X-linked deficiency in the activity of α-galactosidase A and resultant accumulation globotriaosylceramide (Gb 3 ) multiple tissues. Nearly all classically affected males with FD experience kidney dysfunction, progression to end-stage renal (ESRD) third decade life or shortly thereafter.
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...
The causes of acute malnutrition are complex and time geography variant need to be better understood in order both design more effective nutrition programs evaluate them. findings reported here part an evaluation a 4-year multisectoral program led by Concern Worldwide the Sila Region eastern Chad.To present evidence learning about relationships between potential drivers Sila, Chad.Quantitative household-level data from clustered randomized control trial were collected November/December 2014....
To compare the prognostic value of mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC), weight-for-height Z-score (WHZ) and weight-for-age (WAZ) for predicting death over periods 1, 3 6 months follow-up in children.Pooled analysis twelve prospective studies examining survival after anthropometric assessment. Sensitivity false-positive ratios to predict within were compared three individual indices their combinations.Community-based, from countries Africa Asia.Children aged 6-59 living study areas.For all...
In 2010 Pakistan experienced the worst floods recorded in its history; millions of people were affected and thousands lost their lives. Nutrition assessment surveys led by UNICEF conducted flood-affected areas Punjab Sindh provinces to assess nutrition status children between 6–59 months while Aga Khan University (AKU) undertook a parallel including micronutrient project within Balochistan, Punjab. Standardised Monitoring Assessment Relief Transition (SMART) methodology was used. 881 from...
Livestock-dependent communities in Africa's drylands disproportionately experience acute malnutrition, especially during drought seasons. We detail the design and implementation of Livestock for Health (L4H) study aimed at determining effect providing livestock feed nutritional counselling to prevent seasonal spikes malnutrition.The L4H employed a 3-arm cluster randomized controlled trial compare households pastoralist settings northern Kenya receiving feeds critical dry periods, with or...

Identify the most significant factors affecting trajectory of recovery from severe acute malnutrition (SAM), as measured by average daily weight gain in each child 6–59 months age who were diagnosed and treated for SAM treated, adjusting covariates including: breastfeeding status, number children household, illness, distance to health center. Hypothesis 1a:Children enrolled treatment have slower times if they are admitted at a lower anthropometric cut-off admission (weight height z-score <...
