Background: Nutrition rehabilitation centre (NRC) is a unit in a district health facility, where children with severe acute malnutrition are admitted and provided with nutritional and therapeutic care.Methods: Analysis of nutritional data of all the children admitted to NRC at Krishna district from January 2017 to July 2018. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS.Results: A total of 200 children were included in the study. The overall mean weight at admission was found to be 8.30 kg with a standard deviation of 2.35 kg and the mean weight at the time of discharge is 9.57 kg with a standard deviation of 2.61 kg. There is a statistically significant difference in weight and mid arm circumference at admission and discharge. Mean duration of hospital stay is around 18.67±5.4 days. Target weight is achieved in 71% of the study group.Conclusions: Present study reflects that NRCs have been playing a key role to cope up with the problem of severe acute malnutrition as demonstrated by a high rate of weight gain at discharge as well as during follow ups.

Background: The objective of this study is to know the gender variation in number of admissions, severity of malnutrition at the time of admission, gaining of weight and adherence to follow up in children admitted to nutrition rehabilitation center and during follow up.Methods: This is a retrospective study involving the review of existing programme records. Children who were admitted to nutrition rehabilitation centre, district hospital, Chamarajanagar, Karnataka, India, between January 2017 to December 2017 with severe acute malnutrition were involved in the study. The programme included 2 weeks of in-patient care, and four follow-up visits to the NRC subsequently as follows; 1st visit at 7 days, 2nd at 14 days, 3rd at 1 month and 4th at 2 months after discharge.Results: Among 57 children who admitted to NRC females were 30 (52.6%) and males 27 47.4%). 25 among 57 children (43.9%) could sustain weight gain of >5grams/kg/day as per one of the discharge criteria. 13 (52%) were females and 12 (48%) were males. 32(56%) among 57 admitted children to NRC, could achieve <-1SD during entire programmed. 15(46.8%) were females and 17 (53.1%) were males.Conclusions: There was no gender variation in either number of admission or severity of malnutrition at the time of admission or weight gain during NRC programme.

Nutrition Rehabilitation

Background: Severe acute malnutrition (SAM) causes almost half of childhood deaths in children <5 years in developing countries. In India, as National Family Health Survey (NFHS), prevalence of SAM has increased from 6.4 in NFHS-3 (2005-2006) to 7.5% in NFHS-4 (2015-1016); [5.8 to 9.5% Gujarat]. The aim of study was to determine the etiological factors and outcome of SAM and the benefit of nutrition rehabilitation centre (NRC) among 6 months to 5 years children at the Pediatrics, NRC ward, Sir T. General Hospital.Methods: A prospective observational study of 151 SAM children over nine months. Etiological factors were determined by history and relevant investigations, exclude other systemic disorders. Therapeutic nutrition was provided for 14 days. Cases were followed up two weekly for 2 months by monitoring weight after NRC admission.Results: Association was found between Small for gestational age (64.9%), joint family (59.6%) and low birth spacing (59.6%) as etiological factors leading to SAM. 81.5% children gained weight during 14 days NRC stay. Weight gain was noted at follow-up. Defaulter rate increased from 9.9% at discharge to 28.5% at 2 months follow-up. Weight was static for 9% children. 34.4% children were from rural area and 65.6% from urban area. 23.8% children had received pre lacteal feed. Timing of complementary feeding was incorrect in 29%. There were no deaths.Conclusions: Small for gestational age, joint family, low birth spacing, and incorrect feeding practices and urban residence were etiological factors. NRC stay (defaulter rate 26%), produced weight gain in SAM children.
