185 participantsStarted 2015-04

Plain-language summary

Severe (SAM, Body Mass Index-z \< -3) and moderate (MAM, -3 ≤ BMI-z \< -2) acute malnutrition, highly prevalent in HIV-infected children and adolescents, is an independent risk factor of death, even when antiretroviral treatment (ART) is initiated. The objectives of the SNAC'S study are to assess acceptability and effectiveness of outpatient nutritional rehabilitation, using ready-to-use food (RUF), elaborated in compliance with national and international recommendations and implemented in HIV-infected children and adolescents, under active follow-up in the 12 main pediatric HIV care sites in Senegal and presenting with SAM or MAM.
