Abstract
Anthropometric data of 2466 children in Haryana revealed low sensitivity (6.9%) and positive predictive value (14.3%) of Mid-upper Arm Circumference (MUAC) at 115 mm cut-off for identifying Severe acute malnutrition (SAM). This raises concerns regarding the reliability of MUAC as a screening tool to identify SAM at the community-level.
摘要
对哈里亚纳邦2466名儿童的人体测量数据显示，对于识别重度急性营养不良（SAM），上臂中部周长（MUAC）在115毫米临界值时的敏感性较低（6.9%），阳性预测值为（14.3%）。这引发了对MUAC作为社区层面识别SAM筛查工具可靠性的担忧。
