Record History

  1. Study First Submitted
This experimental study aims to test an alternative protocol for managing acute malnutrition in children aged 6-59 months in Burkina Faso. This alternative protocol consists of using RUTF instead of RUSF for the management of moderate acute malnutrition and reduced-dose RUTF instead of standard-dose RUTF for the treatment of severe acute malnutrition. The main questions are: 1. Does treating children with moderate acute malnutrition using RUTF lead to a non-inferior programmatic and sustained recovery rate compared to the standard care with RUSF? 2. Does treating children with uncomplicated severe acute malnutrition using a reduced dose of RUTF lead to a non-inferior programmatic and sustained recovery rate compared to the standard care with a standard dose of RUFT? Secondly, the study will investigate the effect of this alternative protocol compared to the standard protocol on cost-effectiveness, psychomotor development, weight and linear growth and incidence of relapses.
