简要总结
MUAC only is a pilot trial external control carried out between January 2017 and December 2017 in the Yako district (northern region), Burkina Faso.
The objective of this study is to evaluate an integrated protocol for acute malnourished children without medical complication. The hypotheses of the integrated protocol include :
- A global treatment of acute malnutrition (moderate and severe) with a single treatment (RUTF) would improve the functioning of the program through early identification of acutely malnourished children, while achieving a better coverage and using a single supply chain.
- A gradual reduction of RUTF dosage according to a child's MUAC status could significantly increase the number of children on treatment without increasing overall RUTF quantity while maintaining similar recovery rates.
详细描述
Objectives :
Main objective :
To ensure the recovery rate of the integrated protocol for treatment of acute malnutrition is significantly greater than 75% (reference value of the national program in BF).
Secondary objectives :
- To ensure the mortality rate of the integrated protocol for treatment of acute malnutrition is significantly lower than 3% (reference value of the national BF program).
- To ensure the default rate of the integrated protocol for treatment of acute malnutrition is significantly lower than 15% (reference value of the national BF program).
- To ensure the non-response rate of the integrated protocol for treatment of acute malnutrition is significantly lower than 8%.
- To ensure the hospitalization rate of the integrated protocol for treatment of acute malnutrition is significantly lower than 15%.
- To ensure the coverage rate of the program increases by 30% after the year the integrated protocol was introduced (specific protocol annexed).
- To estimate the relapse rate of the integrated protocol for treatment of acute malnutrition.
- To compare RUTF rations per child of the integrated protocol compared to the national protocol
