简要总结
The aim of this study is to provide comprehensive documentation of the relevant results and operational implications of this new model using Mid-Upper Arm Circumference (MUAC) as the single anthropometric criterion for admission, monitoring and exit of non- complicated in Niger.
详细描述
This is a first operational experiment using Mid-Upper Arm Circumference (MUAC) as the single anthropometric criterion for the admission, monitoring and exit of the management of uncomplicated SAM (Severe Acute Malnutrition) in Niger, specific data as well as data from routine program will be collected to allow comprehensive documentation of all relevant results and operational implications of this new model. The experiment based on the use of the single anthropometric threshold for admission of a Mid-Upper Arm Circumference (MUAC)<120 mm, which includes both children currently classified as having SAM (currently with PB <115 mm) and acute malnutrition moderate (MAM, currently with a Mid-Upper Arm Circumference (MUAC)<125 mm), as well as a follow-up of children with a Mid-Upper Arm Circumference (MUAC)≥ 120 mm, will identify how children respond to treatment and benefit of the spectrum of acute malnutrition.

结局指标
主要结局
Nutritional recovery
时间窗: 18 months
Compare the average daily weight gain and the duration of the nutritional treatment per group compare the results of the PB programme, including the overall risk of recovery, transfer, of abandonment, of death, of PB and weight gain and the length of stay by age (6-23 months, compared to 24-59 months), compared the results of the program standard;
次要结局
- Deaths(18 months)
- Readmission risks(3 months)
