Post a reply: Admission and discharge criteria for children with MAM
Use of en-net is subject to the Terms and Conditions.
For a national guideline on managment of MAM, we are looking for guidance on admission and discharge criteria for children aged 6-59 months. Please confirm that the following are the most updated global recommendations:
Admission: If MUAC >= 115 mm and <125 mm AND/OR
WFH < -2 z-score & >= - 3 z-score of the WHO Growth Standards
Discharge:MUAC >=125 mm for two consecutive visits AND
>=-2 z-score WHO Growth Standards for two consecutive visits
Also, requesting if anyone has programmatic experiences to share on discharging children using both criteria. |
