  • Mass azithromycin distribution and nutritional status among children aged 1–59 months

    Open AccessMamadou Ouattara, Huiyu Hu et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2026

    Twice yearly distribution of azithromycin has been shown to reduce all-cause child mortality in several contexts. Azithromycin likely reduces mortality via reduction in clinical or subclinical infections. Treating infections may improve child nutritional status to further reduce mortality risk. Here, we used data from a placebo-controlled cluster randomized trial of azithromycin for prevention of child mortality in Burkina Faso to evaluate the ef…

  • The role of seasonal malaria chemoprevention in the effect of azithromycin on child mortality

    Open AccessElisabeth Gebreegziabher, Mamadou Ouattara et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2025

    The objective of this study was to examine whether the effect of mass Azithromycin (AZ) distribution on all-cause mortality among children under 5 varies with seasonal malaria chemoprevention (SMC) administration season or coverage. This was a secondary analysis of the Community Health with Azithromycin Trial (CHAT), a cluster-randomized, placebo-controlled trial of twice-yearly AZ treatment in 341 communities in the Nouna District, Burkina Faso.…

  • Mass azithromycin for prevention of child mortality among children with acute malnutrition

    Open AccessAli Sié, Mamadou Ouattara et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    Children with acute malnutrition are at high risk of morality. Mass azithromycin distribution reduces all-cause mortality among children aged 1–59 months, and effects may be greater in underweight infants. Here, we evaluate the efficacy of azithromycin for reducing all-cause mortality in children aged 6–59 months with acute malnutrition (mid-upper arm circumference, MUAC, P -value for interaction on the relative scale = 0.09; P -value for interac…

  • Simplified dosing of oral azithromycin for children 1–11 months old in child survival programmes

    Open AccessHuiyu Hu, Ahmed M Arzika et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2022

    BACKGROUND: To facilitate mass distribution of azithromycin, trachoma control programmes use height instead of weight to determine dose for children 6 months to 15 years old. WHO has recommended azithromycin distribution to children 1-11 months old to reduce mortality in high mortality settings under carefully monitored conditions. Weight was used to determine dose in children 1-5 months old in studies of azithromycin distribution for child survi…
