New hope for malnourished kids: antibiotics and caregiver support could cut deaths after hospital
NCT ID NCT05994742
Summary
This large trial is testing whether adding extra support helps children survive and recover after being hospitalized for severe malnutrition. Researchers are comparing standard care against two extra packages: one gives children antibiotics to prevent infections, and the other provides mental health and parenting support to their caregivers. The goal is to see if these combined approaches can reduce deaths and hospital readmissions in the six months after children go home.
