| Abstract |
Severely undernourished young children clinically present with a typical nutritional oedema or none-oedematous. However, research evidence is limited on how these types predict treatment outcomes in Ethiopia. This study was aimed to compare oedematous and none-oedematous children for their treatment outcomes in Boloso Sore district in Southwest Ethiopia. The overall recovery rate was 396 (68%). From oedematous children; 235 (79.9%) recovered, 18 (6.1%) transferred, 6 (2.0%) defaulted, 3 (1.0%) died, and 32 (11%) remained none-respondents. The treatment outcomes among the none-oedematous children were 161 (55.9%), 12 (4.2%), 4 (1.4%), 3 (1.0%), and 108 (37.5%) in similar order. Treatment outcomes of severely undernourished children in the two arms were statistically different (Χ2 = 5.82, P < 0.016). Severely malnourished children with oedema were 2.3 times highly likely to recover as compared to those without it (adjusted hazard ratio = 2.3 at 95% confidence interval: 1.79, 2.82). We documented that oedematous children in the study area had a better likelihood of recovery as compared to those with severe wasting. We recommend targeted community outreach activities on severe acute malnutrition focusing on the types. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 21 August 2018.
All research outputs
#18,647,094
of 23,100,534 outputs
Outputs from BMC Research Notes
#3,039
of 4,287 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#332,313
of 442,933 outputs
Outputs of similar age from BMC Research Notes
#76
of 119 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,100,534 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 4,287 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.6. This one is in the 16th percentile – i.e., 16% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 442,933 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 14th percentile – i.e., 14% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 119 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 21st percentile – i.e., 21% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
