Recovery time from severe acute malnutrition and associated factors among under-5 children in Yekatit 12 Hospital Addis Ababa Ethiopia: a retrospective cohort study

摘要

Recovery time from severe acute malnutrition (SAM) is often a neglected topic despite its clinical impact. Although a few studies have examined nutritional recovery time, the length of hospitalization in those studies varied greatly. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the recovery time from SAM and to identify predictors of length of hospitalization among under-5 children.
