Checking kids' arm measurements to prevent relapse after malnutrition recovery
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests whether measuring a caregiver's arm width can help predict if a child who recently recovered from severe malnutrition will become malnourished again. It aims to find ways to catch problems early and keep children healthy.
