Practical Screening tools for severely malnourished children (2)
----------------------------------------------------------------

Couple of community based studies conducted in rural Bangladesh
at ICDDR,B by L Chen, Andre Briend and R Bariagi in early '90s
found MUAC as a strong predictor of death at various cut-off
points and correlated well with weight for height z score. It
would be interesting to see the cut-off points used in this
study. Can anyone post or send the article for details?

Thanks.
