Acceptability of a reduced dose of therapeutic food in the management of severely acutely malnourished children aged 6–59 months in Mbuji-Mayi, Democratic Republic of Congo
Despite a higher prevalence of Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM) in children living in Sub Saharan Africa, access to outpatient treatment remains limited. In relation to this, the 2023 WHO guidelines proposed reducing the dose of Ready to Use Therapeutic Food (RUTF) distributed on the basis of recent evidence. One of the positive consequence is that savings made by reducing RUTF prescription per child can then be reinvested to admit more children a…
Perceptions, Causes and Treatment of Severe Acute Malnutrition, Mbuji‐Mayi, Kasai‐Oriental, Democratic Republic of the Congo
The effective management of severe acute malnutrition (SAM) is contingent upon the perceptions of the affected communities, and preferred therapeutic pathways, object of the present research. A qualitative survey collected 54 semistructured individual interviews, 10 focus groups, and 6 direct observations in Mbujimayi town, Kasaï Oriental province, Democratic Republic of Congo. The deductive approach was used to analyse the data. Cultural and rel…
Methodological choices for an economic evaluation of a combined psychosocial and nutrition treatment intervention for children with severe acute malnutrition
Availability, use, and consumption practices of ready-to-use therapeutic foods prescribed to children with uncomplicated severe acute malnutrition aged 6–59 months during outpatient treatment in Burki…
Ready-to-use-therapeutic-foods (RUTF) was designed for the nutritional management of children with uncomplicated severe acute malnutrition (SAM) treated as outpatients. However, to our knowledge, no study has evaluated the availability, use and consumption of RUTF within the beneficiary household in programs and in the context of a reduction in the dose of RUTF. This study, assessed the effect of a reduction in RUTF dose on the availability, use,…
Economic evaluation of a reduced dosage of ready‐to‐use therapeutic foods to treat uncomplicated severe acute malnourished children aged 6–59 months in Burkina Faso
Ready-to-use therapeutic foods (RUTF) used to treat children with severe acute malnutrition (SAM) are costly, and the prescribed dosage has not been optimized. The MANGO trial, implemented by Action Contre la Faim in Burkina Faso, proved the non-inferiority of a reduced RUTF dosage in community-based treatment of uncomplicated SAM. We performed a cost-minimization analysis to assess the economic impact of transitioning from the standard to the re…
Complementary feeding practices and associated factors of dietary diversity among uncomplicated severe acute malnourished children aged 6–23 months in Burkina Faso
Nutritional treatment of children with uncomplicated severe acute malnutrition (SAM) is based on ready‐to‐use therapeutic foods (RUTF). With treatment provided at community level, children could have access to other foods, and a reduction in the dose of RUTF could further increase dietary diversity during treatment. We assessed the dietary diversity score (DDS), the minimum dietary diversity (MDD), the minimum meal frequency (MMF) and the minimum…
Donor requests for economic analysis of humanitarian field programmes
Humanitarian organisations respond to increasing donor requests to assess economic aspects of their programmes, including cost-effectiveness. This article presents results from a survey of humanitarian agency staff and donor agencies, investigating such requests. Findings indicate a need for clear guidelines and capacity building in these economic assessments, expressed by both humanitarian staff and donor agencies themselves. While improving eff…
