 This study found that a combined case definition of mid-upper-arms circumference, MUAC, less than 115 mm and weight for heights at score, WH said, minus 3 was the most effective way to identify children who are at high risk of death. This combined case definition detected nearly all deaths associated with severe anthropometric deficit, suggesting that therapeutic feeding programs could have greater impact if they used this criterion. However, there are still some operational questions to consider before wide-scale adoption can be recommended. This article was authored by Tanya Korra, Mark Mayet, Kate Sadler, and others.
