Post a reply: Maximum GoW and MUAC growth in SAM treatment
Use of en-net is subject to the Terms and Conditions.
| Dear colleagues,
I am working with a database for a CMAM programme that computes Gain of Weight (g/Kg/day) and Length of Stay.
I would like to know if there were some recommendations regarding the maximum theoretical value for healthy GoW (excluding complications with development of Oedema).
Usually, recommendations are between 5 and 15 g/kg/day and I would like if it was possible to fix a limit such as for example 20g/kg/day that would not be physically possible.
Likewise, is there some literature regarding the "normal" MUAC increase? (ex: max: +15mm/1 week)?
By advance, thank you very much
