  • Effect of caregiver training on knowledge and confidence of at-home clinical and anthropometric surveillance of children with uncomplicated severe acute malnutrition

    Open AccessNazia Binte Ali, Matt D T Hitchings et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2025

    INTRODUCTION: Patient-centred task-shifting models may be a promising strategy in the community-based management of severe acute malnutrition (SAM) to alleviate pressure on health systems and increase access to treatment in low-resource settings. The engagement of caregivers in clinical and anthropometric surveillance has not been evaluated. OBJECTIVES: We examined the effect of caregiver training on their knowledge and confidence in at-home clin…

  • Cost-effectiveness of monthly follow-up for the treatment of uncomplicated severe acute malnutrition

    Open AccessNicolas A Menzies, Fatou Berthé et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2022

    Severe acute malnutrition (SAM) is a major source of mortality for children in low resource settings. Alternative treatment models that improve acceptability and reduce caregiver burden are needed to improve treatment access. We assessed costs and cost-effectiveness of monthly vs. weekly follow-up (standard-of-care) for treating uncomplicated SAM in children 6–59 months of age. To do so, we conducted a cost-effectiveness analysis of a cluster-ran…

  • Burden and risk factors for relapse following successful treatment of uncomplicated severe acute malnutrition in young children

    Open AccessLilia Bliznashka, Kyra H Grantz et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Nutrition2022

    This study aimed to quantify the burden of relapse following successful treatment for uncomplicated severe acute malnutrition (SAM) and to identify associated risk factors in rural Niger. We used data from 1490 children aged 6-59 months discharged as recovered from an outpatient nutritional programme for SAM and followed for up to 12 weeks after admission. Postdischarge SAM relapse was defined as weight-for-height Z-score <-3, mid-upper arm circu…

  • Energy needs in the treatment of uncomplicated severe acute malnutrition

    Open AccessSheila Isanaka, Christopher T Andersen et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Nutrition2020

    Outpatient therapeutic feeding protocols for the treatment of uncomplicated severe acute malnutrition in children were initially based on weight gain data from inpatient settings and expert knowledge of the physiological requirements during recovery. However, weight gain and energy requirements from historic inpatient settings may differ from modern outpatient settings and therefore may not be appropriate to guide current therapeutic feeding prot…

  • Linear growth faltering and the role of weight attainment

    Open AccessSheila Isanaka, Matt D T Hitchings et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Nutrition2019

    Efforts to reduce the impact of stunting have been largely independent of interventions to reduce the impact of wasting, despite the observation that the conditions can coexist in the same child and increase risk of death. To optimize the management of malnourished children-who can be wasted, stunted, or both-the relationship between stunting and wasting should be elaborated. We aimed to describe the relationship between concurrent weight and hei…

  • Feasibility of engaging caregivers in at‐home surveillance of children with uncomplicated severe acute malnutrition

    Open AccessSheila Isanaka, Fatou Berthé et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Nutrition2019

    Many factors can contribute to low coverage of treatment for severe acute malnutrition (SAM), and a limited number of health facilities and trained personnel can constrain the number of children that receive treatment. Alternative models of care that shift the responsibility for routine clinical and anthropometric surveillance from the health facility to the household could reduce the burden of care associated with frequent facility-based visits …

  • The gender, social and cultural influences on the management and use of unconditional cash transfers in Niger

    Open AccessJennifer Scott, Caroline Marquer et al.ARTICLEPublic Health Nutrition2017

    Objective The current qualitative study aimed to identify gender, social and cultural influences on the management and use of unconditional cash transfers as part of a prospective intervention study in Niger. Design In February to March 2012, focus group discussions and semi-structured individual interviews were conducted with female caregivers of children aged 6 to 23 months who received unconditional cash transfers. Discussion and interview tra…

  • The Start of the Sexual Transition in Mali

    Open AccessClaudine Sauvain‐Dugerdil, Bassoutoura Gakou et al.ARTICLEStudies in Family Planning2008Citada por: 2Referências: 13

    Analysis of data from a questionnaire survey of 2,000 young Malians undertaken by the authors in 2002 demonstrates that, even in underprivileged urban and rural populations, changes in sexual behavior are emerging. Among women, first sex and motherhood are taking place slightly later, and a minority is now dissociating sexuality and procreation. Our data confirm the considerable impact of female education on this transition. Girls’ sexual activit…
