چکیده
Malnutrition in children is widely prevalent in India. It is estimated that 57 million children are underweight (moderate and severe). More than 50% of deaths in 0-4 years are associated with malnutrition(1). The median case fatality rate is approximately 23.5% in severe malnutrition, reaching 50% in edematous malnutrition(2). There is a need for standardized protocol-based management to improve the outcome of severely malnourished children.
