The development of the 2023 WHO guideline on the prevention and management of wasting and nutritional oedema highlighted substantial evidence gaps and variability in outcome measurement and reporting. Research therefore needs to be reliable, robust, relevant and well reported to inform decisions on the prevention and management of wasting and nutritional oedema within and beyond WHO guidance.\n<\/p>\n<p>WHO, in collaboration with the United Nations Children\u2019s Fund (UNICEF), has produced this guide for research on wasting and nutritional oedema in infants and children under 5 years of age. It comprises a global research priority agenda, guidance on evidence generation, and core outcome sets to support standardized reporting and synthesis of outcome data. Overall, the guide aims to support the generation of high-quality evidence to inform future WHO guidance. The target audience includes researchers, policy-makers, programme implementers, funders and others involved in research in these populations.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"col-md-4\">\n<div class=\"dynamic-content__details\">\n<div class=\"detail who-team\">\n<div class=\"label\">WHO Team<\/div>\n<div class=\"value\">\n                 <span><br \/>\n                             <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/teams\/nutrition-and-food-safety\/standards-and-scientific-advice-on-food-and-nutrition\">Nutrition and Food Safety (NFS)<\/a>                 <\/span>\n         <\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"detail\">\n<div class=\"label\">Editors<\/div>\n<div class=\"value\">World Health Organization and United Nations Children&#8217;s Fund (UNICEF)<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"detail\">\n<div class=\"label\">Number of pages<\/div>\n<div class=\"value\">59<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"detail\">\n<div class=\"label\">Reference numbers<\/div>\n<div class=\"value\">\n<div><strong class=\"label-sm\">ISBN: <\/strong><span>978-92-4-012566-7<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"detail\">\n<div class=\"label\">Copyright<\/div>\n<p>                <a target=\"_blank\" class=\"creativecommons-icons-wrappers\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/igo\/deed.en\" rel=\"license\" title=\"Click here to see the details of CC BY-NC-SA 3.0 IGO\"><br \/>\n                        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/ResourcePackages\/WHO\/assets\/icons\/cc-icons\/cc.svg\"><br \/>\n                        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/ResourcePackages\/WHO\/assets\/icons\/cc-icons\/by.svg\"><br \/>\n                        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/ResourcePackages\/WHO\/assets\/icons\/cc-icons\/nc.svg\"><br \/>\n                        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/ResourcePackages\/WHO\/assets\/icons\/cc-icons\/sa.svg\"><br \/>\n                <\/a>\n        <\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/publications\/i\/item\/9789240125667?rand=6398\" target=\"_blank\">Source link <\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Download (653.9 kB) Overview Addressing wasting and nutritional oedema in infants and children requires prioritizing key areas for research.
