Assessing WHO prioritisation criteria for children 6–59 months treated for moderate wasting in a Muac-based protocol
BACKGROUND: In 2023, the WHO recommended prioritising treatment for moderately wasted children with higher risk characteristics, including mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC) 115-119 mm, weight-for-age z-score (WAZ) <-3, age <24 months or clinical and social vulnerabilities. However, applying multiple criteria is operationally challenging. The OptiMA (Optimising Acute Malnutrition Treatment) protocol treats children with MUAC <125 mm or oedema usi…
Living in Fear
Dedicated studies to understand and explore HIV-related stigma among PWH in Senegal are essential for the development and implementation of effective stigma reduction strategies. The goals of this study were to understand the current challenges confronted by newly diagnosed PWH in Senegal and to explore the manifestations of HIV-related stigma using a mixed methods approach. We conducted a convergent mixed methods study among participants ≥ 18 ye…
Cost-effectiveness of a simplified acute malnutrition program
Acute malnutrition (AM) causes large loss of life and disability in children in Africa. Researchers are testing innovative approaches to increase the efficiency of treatment programs This paper presents results of a cost-effectiveness analysis of one such program in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) based on a secondary analysis of a randomized controlled trial Optimizing Treatment for Acute Malnutrition (OptiMA), conducted in DRC in 201…
Perceptions and management of diabetes and obesity among people living with HIV in Côte d’Ivoire
These results highlight the complexity surrounding the perceptions and management of T2DM and obesity among PLHIV in Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire. In order to implement innovative and efficient intervention strategies to prevent and treat these metabolic conditions, cultural beliefs as well as socio-economic barriers must be addressed
Care pathways for critically ill children aged 0–5 years arriving at district hospitals in Burkina Faso, Guinea, Mali, and Niger (2022)
The recommended pathway is largely adhered to, yet parallel pathways require attention, notably in Guinea and Mali. A better understanding of healthcare-seeking behaviours can help remove barriers to care, improving the likelihood that a sick child will receive optimal care
Incidence of unintended pregnancies and pregnancy experience among adolescents living with perinatally-acquired HIV in West Africa

Factors associated with non-response and nutritional status of non-responders at 6-month post-discharge
Background: In the treatment of acute malnutrition (AM), non-response is considered a treatment failure for not meeting recovery criteria within a therapeutic window of 12-16 weeks, but this category of children is misunderstood. As current research emphasizes ways to simplify and optimize treatment protocols, non-response emerges as a new issue to enhance program efficiency. Methods: A prospective cohort study was conducted from 2019 to 2020 at …
Treatment outcomes and associated factors for hospitalization of children treated for acute malnutrition under the OptiMA simplified protocol
Introduction Globally, access to treatment for severe and moderate acute malnutrition is very low, in part because different protocols and products are used in separate programs. New approaches, defining acute malnutrition (AM) as mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC) < 125 mm or oedema, are being investigated to compare effectiveness to current programs. Optimizing Malnutrition treatment (OptiMA) is one such strategy that treats AM with one product…
Utilization patterns, outcomes and costs of a simplified acute malnutrition treatment programme in Burkina Faso
Access to treatment for acute malnutrition remains a challenge, in part due to the fragmentation of treatment programmes based on case severity. This paper evaluates utilization patterns, outcomes and associated costs for treating acute malnutrition cases among a cohort of children in Burkina Faso. This study is a secondary analysis of a proof-of-concept trial, called Optimizing treatment for acute Malnutrition (OptiMA), conducted in Burkina Faso…
Measuring retention in care for HIV-positive pregnant women in Prevention of Mother-to-Child Transmission of HIV (PMTCT) option B+ programs
More stringent definitions indicated lower retention rates for PMTCT programs. Policy makers and program managers should include attendance at follow-up visits when measuring retention in care to better guide planning, scale-up, and monitoring of interventions
Dissimilarities across age groups in the associations between complementary feeding practices and child growth
Adequate complementary feeding (CF) practices are essential for achieving optimal growth but challenging to measure comprehensively. This paper describes CF practices in 2,034 children aged 6-23 months and investigates their relationships with length-for-age z-score (LAZ) and stunting, using cross-sectional data collected from May to July 2014 in rural Northern Togo. The World Health Organization infant and young child feeding indicators were com…
Pregnancy incidence and associated factors among HIV-infected female adolescents in HIV care in urban Côte d'Ivoire, 2009–2013
OBJECTIVE: Adolescents living with HIV are sexually active and engaged in risky sexual behaviors. Knowledge on how and to what extent adolescents in HIV care are affected by pregnancy is needed so as to adopt better preventive services. We estimated 4-year pregnancy incidence and correlates among HIV-infected female adolescents in HIV care in urban Côte d'Ivoire. DESIGN: We conducted retrospective analysis of a pediatric prospective cohort of the…
Intimate partner sexual and physical violence among women in Togo, West Africa
BACKGROUND: A substantial proportion of newly diagnosed HIV infections in sub-Saharan Africa occur within serodiscordant cohabiting heterosexual couples. Intimate partner violence is a major concern for couple-oriented HIV preventive approaches. This study aimed at estimating the prevalence and associated factors of intimate partner physical and sexual violence among HIV-infected and -uninfected women in Togo. We also described the severity and c…
From prenatal HIV testing of the mother to prevention of sexual HIV transmission within the couple
Sexual prevention of HIV within the couple after prenatal HIV-testing in West Africa
The resumption of sexual activity after delivery is a key moment in the management of the risk of sexual HIV transmission within the couple for women who have been prenatally tested for HIV. In this study, we have investigated consistent condom use during the resumption of sexual activity and its evolution over time among women tested for HIV infection during pregnancy. We tested for HIV during pregnancy 546 HIV-infected and 393 HIV-negative wome…
Month occurrence of severe events among early diagnosed HIV-infected children before antiretroviral therapy in Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire
Early cotrimoxazole from 6 weeks of age in HIV-infected infants seemed to reduce probability of severe events but the study lacked statistical power to prove this. Even with systematic cotrimoxazole prophylaxis, infant morbidity and mortality remained high pointing towards a need for early pediatric HIV-diagnosis and antiretroviral treatment in Africa
