Nutritional Status
The majority of patients were normally grown (187; 85.8%) but
anthropometric data was missing for four patients. Sixteen patients were
moderately stunted whilst 11 were severely stunted. Thirty one were
moderately under-weight-for-age (UWFA) and nine were severely UWFA,
whilst 12 patients were moderately and severely wasted, respectively.
The rates of stunting (moderate and severe) in this cohort met the case
definition for low prevalence (<20%). Under-weight-for-age
(UWFA) (moderate) was medium prevalence (10 -19%) and low prevalence
for severe (<10%) cases whilst the rates of wasting was
defined as poor (5-9%)(25).
