Developing the 2023 WHO guideline on wasting and nutritional oedema in infants and children
The 2023 WHO guideline on the prevention and management of wasting and nutritional oedema (acute malnutrition) in infants and children under 5 years has a broad scope aligned with WHO’s responsibility to develop a comprehensive guideline as part of the Global Action Plan on Child Wasting. A WHO technical team consisting of the WHO Steering Committee for this guideline, supported by a consultant and two independent methodologists, coordinated guid…
Infants less than 6 months of age at risk of poor growth and development
box The 2023 WHO guideline on wasting and nutritional oedema includes four recommendations and four good practice statements on the management of infants less than 6 months of age at risk of poor growth and development, prioritising this vulnerable yet often neglected group
Prevention of wasting and nutritional oedema
box Inclusion of prevention in the 2023 WHO guideline on wasting and nutritional oedema is a significant and timely addition, aligning with the global development goal of reducing current wasting prevalence from 6
A WHO global research priority agenda for wasting and nutritional oedema in infants and children under 5 years
INTRODUCTION: The guideline development process for the WHO guideline on prevention and management of wasting and nutritional oedema highlighted extensive evidence gaps. We, the WHO Steering Committee and methodologists for the 2023 WHO guideline, therefore aimed to develop a comprehensive global research priority agenda for wasting and nutritional oedema in infants and children. It has a timeframe up to 2030 aligning with the Sustainable Develop…
Strengthening the evidence base around prevention and management of wasting and nutritional oedema in infants and children
box In 2023, WHO released a guideline on prevention and management of wasting and nutritional oedema (acute malnutrition) in infants and children under 5 years as part of the Global Action Plan on Child Wasting, a consolidated framework to accelerate progress in prevention and management of wasting and nutritional oedema
Addressing prevention and management of wasting and nutritional oedema in children requires an improved evidence base on resource use and cost-effectiveness of interventions
box Effectiveness studies on the prevention and management of wasting and nutritional oedema should ideally include the evaluation of resource use and cost-effectiveness (CE) to allow future guideline development to appreciate this dimension
Development of core outcome sets for effectiveness trials focused on infants and children with wasting and nutritional oedema
INTRODUCTION: The 2023 WHO guideline on the prevention and management of wasting and nutritional oedema includes recommendations informed by best evidence from systematic reviews addressing critical and important outcomes. Multiple outcomes across trials were a challenge during guideline development, highlighting a need to establish core outcome sets (COS) for wasting and nutritional oedema. Informed by Core Outcome Measures in Effectiveness Tria…
Infants and children 6–59 months of age with moderate wasting
BOX The 2023 WHO guideline on wasting and nutritional oedema provides the first systematically developed evidence-informed set of recommendations and good practice statements for children 6–59 months of age with moderate wasting
Defining and identifying the critical elements of operational readiness for public health emergency events
INTRODUCTION: COVID-19 showed that countries must strengthen their operational readiness (OPR) capabilities to respond to an imminent pandemic threat rapidly and proactively. We conducted a rapid scoping evidence review to understand the definition and critical elements of OPR against five core sub-systems of a new framework to strengthen the global architecture for Health Emergency Preparedness Response and Resilience (HEPR). METHODS: We searche…
