Combined Protocol for Acute Malnutrition (ComPAS) Stage 1 dataset

During stage 1, the study undertook foundational research, compiling and analysing data obtained from programmes run by Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF-France) in South Sudan during 2010, Action Against Hunger (AAH-USA) in Pakistan during 2012, and International Rescue Committee (IRC) in Chad (2013 & 2014), Kenya (2012, 2013, & 2014), and Yemen (2014).

This protocol was later tested in a cluster-randomized controlled trial in Kenya and South Sudan (ComPAS stage 2). This dataset contains information compiled from the various sources during stage 1. Variables include: patient weight and height, presence of oedema, Mid-upper arm circumference, age, country, an indication of whether they are on outpatient therapeutic or supplementary feeding program.
