They were measured on admission and body weight and weight / height z score measured again on discharge, in addition to selected socio-demographic variables.
Results : the prevalence of wasting increased by hospital discharge and there is decrease in the frequency of well-nourished children from 66.2 % to 61.4 % at discharge.
Fourteen (7.2 %) of well-nourished children on admission progress to mild wasting on discharge from hospital, 21 % of children with mild wasting initially deteriorated to moderate wasting, while 7.3 % of children with moderate wasting progress to severe wasting on discharge.
