An adaptive multiarm randomised trial of biomedical and psychosocial interventions to improve convalescence following severe acute malnutrition in sub-Saharan Africa: Co-SAM trial protocol

Ability of an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) to Predict Paediatric Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM) from Routine Growth Curves

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2020
Background: Severe acute malnutrition (SAM) adversely affects many South African children. Growth faltering often precedes SAM, yet is frequently missed during routine growth monitoring (GM). Digitisation of GM may improve detection of growth faltering and prompt earlier intervention to avert SAM, but this requires a locally validated method to ...
