Using cross-sectional surveys to estimate the number of severely malnourished children needing to be enrolled in specific treatment programmes
Objective When planning severe acute malnutrition (SAM) treatment services, estimates of the number of children requiring treatment are needed. Prevalence surveys, used with population estimates, can directly estimate the number of prevalent cases but not the number of subsequent incident cases. Health managers often use a prevalence-to-incidence conversion factor ( J ) derived from two African cohort studies to estimate incidence and add the exp…
Effect of ready‐to‐use foods for preventing child undernutrition in Niger: Analysis of a prospective intervention study over 15 months of follow‐up
Strategies for preventing undernutrition comprise a range of interventions, including education, provision of complementary food and cash transfer. Here, we compared monthly distributions of two different lipid-based nutrient supplements (LNS), large-quantity LNS (LNS-LQ) and medium-quantity LNS (LNS-MQ) for 15 months on prevention of undernutrition among children 6 to 23 months. Both groups also received cash transfer for the first 5 months of t…
Assessment of the PROBIT approach for estimating the prevalence of global, moderate and severe acute malnutrition from population surveys
Objective Prevalence of acute malnutrition is classically estimated by the proportion of children meeting a case definition in a representative population sample. In 1995 the WHO proposed the PROBIT method, based on converting parameters of a normally distributed variable to cumulative probability, as an alternative method requiring a smaller sample size. The present study compares classical and PROBIT methods for estimating the prevalence of glo…
The Management of Severe Malnutrition in Burundi: An NGO's Perspective of the Practical Constraints to Effective Emergency and Medium-term Programmes
The NGO, Action contre la Faim (ACF), has been operating in Burundi since 1994, where the situation has dramatically hampered humanitarian programmes. These include poor security resulting in an inability to maintain 24-hour care for the severely malnourished and poor access to the beneficiaries, all within a politically and economically unstable context. However, ACF has been able to capitalise on lessons learnt and reflect on ways to move forwa…
