The 2007 French Haute Autorité de santé recommendation on the diagnosis of malnutrition in the elderly was revised in 2021. The main objective was to compare the prevalence of malnutrition according to the recommendations. The secondary objectives were to compare 3-month mortality and assess the prevalence of sarcopenia and sarcopenic obesity. The 2021 criteria were applied retrospectively to a cohort. Concordance analysis was carried out using Cohen's kappa coefficient and statistical analysis of mortality using Fisher's exact test. There were 135 patients, 60% malnourished with 35% severely malnourished according to HAS 2007, 49% malnourished with 62% severely malnourished according to HAS 2021 with moderate agreement. There were 25 cases of confirmed sarcopenia and one case of sarcopenic obesity. Moderately to severely malnourished people had an increased risk of death at 3 months (HAS 2021).

Background: The studies on the use and performance of the Mid-Upper Arm Circumference for age (MUACZ) for the diagnosis of severe acute malnutrition (SAM) are still rare. Our study aimed to analyze the performance of MUACZ for diagnosis of SAM in South Kivu, eastern DR Congo.
Methods: We analyzed a database of children admitted from 1987 to 2008 for management of SAM in the east of the DRC.
Cost-effectiveness of decentralising acute malnutrition treatment with a standard or simplified treatment protocol: an economic evaluation in the region of Gao, Mali.

Nutrition and Health Department, Action Against Hunger, Madrid, Spain.
Background: Acute malnutrition treatment coverage remains low worldwide, causing significant morbidity and mortality. Decentralisation of treatment to Community Health Worker (CHW) sites has shown to be an effective strategy to improve access and increase coverage, but evidence on the cost and cost-effectiveness of this approach as well the use of simplified treatment protocols in conflict settings is lacking. The objective of this study was to determine cost per child treated as well as the cost-effectiveness of the hybrid model of treatment delivery (where treatment is provided at both health facilities and CHW sites) using either a standard protocol (Intervention 1) or simplified protocol (Intervention 2) compared to standard treatment at health facilities only (Control) in the conflict affected region of Gao in Northern Mali.

Background: Children in paediatric emergency units are those who need special attention, and unless treated early, they are a vulnerable population to unwanted outcomes like death, discharge against medical advice or referral to other institutions within 24 hours.
Objectives: To assess admission outcomes and their associated factors among children admitted to the paediatric emergency unit of Dilla University Referral Hospital, Ethiopia, 2023.
Methods: An institution-based cross-sectional study design was employed among children admitted to the paediatric emergency unit at Dilla University Referral Hospital from 8 May 2023 to 8 June 2023.

Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM) is a critical global health issue, contributing to approximately one-half of all child mortality worldwide. SAM management guidelines recommend the use of appetite assessment determined by an "appetite test" to distinguish between complicated and uncomplicated SAM, subsequently guiding clinical decisions regarding outpatient versus inpatient care and discharge from hospital. Despite the widespread utilization of this recommendation, its validity lacks substantial evidence within the existing literature.
