Biomarkers of post-discharge mortality among children with complicated severe acute malnutrition

Biomarkers of post-discharge mortality among children with complicated severe acute malnutrition

High mortality after discharge from hospital following acute illness has been observed among children with Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM). However, mechanisms that may be amenable to intervention to reduce risk are unknown. We performed a nested case-control study among HIV-uninfected children aged...
