Perceptions of stakeholders on the use of a simplified, combined protocol for treatment of acute malnutrition in Central African Republic
Treatment of acute malnutrition requires novel approaches to improve coverage, reduce costs and improve the efficiency of standard protocols that separate the management of moderate acute malnutrition (MAM) and severe acute malnutrition (SAM). The use of simplified, combined protocols to treat both MAM and SAM has drawn research and policy interest among global, regional and national stakeholders. However, the perspectives of local communities an…
Effectiveness of acute malnutrition treatment with a simplified, combined protocol in Central African Republic
A simplified, combined protocol admitting children with a mid-upper-arm circumference (MUAC) of <125 mm or oedema to malnutrition treatment with ready-to-use therapeutic food (RUTF) uses two sachets of RUTF per day of those with MUAC < 115 mm and/or oedema and one sachet of RUTF per day for those with MUAC 115-<125 mm. This treatment previously demonstrated noninferior programmatic outcomes compared with standard treatment and high recovery in a …
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…
