Severe Acute Malnutrition Treatment Protocols

Severe Acute Malnutrition: Mid upper Arm circumference < 11.5 cm and/or oedema (excluding non-nutritional cause of oedema).
Outpatient therapeutic programme: A component of CMAM that care for uncomplicated SAM.
Inpatient therapeutic programme: A component of CMAM that care for complicated SAM in stabilization centres.
Length of stay: The number of days a patient stays in the health facility before achieving an outcome.
Outcome: Stabilized/recovered, death or defaulted.
Recovery: SAM patient that has regained a good appetite and evidence of medical complications being resolved.
Defaulter: SAM patient that left treatment before recovery.
Death: SAM patient who died during the course of inpatient therapy.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
