Abstract
Aims of study: The objective of our study is retrospective evaluation of the data to assess the effectiveness of MTC in providing medical and nutritional rehabilitation care for children with SAM in our MTC. Results: Out of the 1047 children of age 6-60 months with SAM, 72.21% had a weight -for-height/length (WH/L) Z score below -3SD, 64.85% had mid upper arm circumference (MUAC) < 11.5 cm, 12.03% had bipedal oedema and 53.75% had both WH/L Z score below -3SD and MUAC <11.5 cm. 76.40% were discharged from MTC, however recovered rate was 11.65%. Conclusions: Survival of children with SAM in our study was good (76.40%) however recovery rate was low (11.65%). The average weight gain of children with SAM was 8.06 gm/kg/day (±12.01gm) in our study and average duration of stay was 8.67 days (+_6.11).
