Community Therapeutic Care for managing severe acute malnutrition- The effect of RUTF By Dr. Paluku Bahwere -Valid International 34 th session of the SCN- WG on nutrition and HIV/AIDS February 28 th 2007

Presentation overview Introduction Management of HIV infected children in CTC CTC and the management of HIV malnourished adults in the community Local RUTF production and linkage with livelihood programmes Conclusions

Introduction: Important background issues in Africa High HIV prevalence –High mortality prior to ART and in ART programmes –Affect country and community in many sectors Malnutrition common among HIV infected individuals –In Therapeutic feeding programmes –Very common first AIDS defining condition –Common at ART commencement. –Not always related to AIDS stage –Malnutrition related to survival time

Introduction: Important background issues in Africa (cont) Very low VCT coverage –83% adults untested in Malawi (2004MDHS) Fast progression of HIV –sero-conversion to stage months –sero-conversion to stage months –Progression from AIDS to death < 1 year Picture removed

CTC entry point? CTC VCTHIV care Livelihood programmes

Primary study questions & outcomes 1. Can CTC be used as an entry point for providing HIV testing and treatment referral? Outcome: VCT uptake 2. Are CTC protocols effective in HIV-positive children (or are modifications needed)? Outcomes: weight gain/d, recovery, mortality, default

CTC protocols for children CTC provided 200 kcal/kg/d locally produced RUTF for OTP in weekly take home rations Per CTC protocols, children given Vitamin A, de- worming, antibiotics for bacterial infection, anemia treatment as needed, malaria prophylaxis HIV+ children referred to Lighthouse Clinic for further evaluation, and adults referred to Dowa District ART clinic

Summary of VCT uptake

Nutritional Recovery in the Prospective Cohort: WHM > 85%

Nutritional Relapse in the Retrospective Cohort HIV+ (N=28) HIV- (N=1102) p-value % losing WH % WHM < 80% % WHM < 70% <0.001 % MUAC < 125 % MUAC < Median timing of follow-up 15.5 months post discharge (SD: 12.8) ~ 86% of HIV+ children had WHM >80%

Adult study Effectiveness of RUTF delivered in the community through CTC linked with HBC organisations

Intervention 3 months nutritional support –500 g /day of RUTF (Chickpea-Sesame recipe) –2600 kcal/day –70g protein/day Routine cotrimoxazole Delivered through existing HBC structures Picture removed

Activity performance

Access to clinics  26/60 (43.3%) able to walk to the clinic at admission  22/34 (73.5%) able to walk to the clinic after intervention  In total, 47/60 (78.3%) resumed productive activity 25 bedridden Completed 3 months 22 Resumed activity 3 Absence of improvement

Eager to restart some activities At admission –Can just walk out of the house –Only support= HBC volunteer After 2 weeks –Walk long distance (to the river to bath) –Prepare instrument to restart some activities After 1 month –Active –Need of social life Picture removed

Conclusions

RUTF facilitated effective nutrition care to malnourished children and chronically sick PLWHA. –Nutrition stabilisation –Improved physical activity performance –Improved quality of life Improved physical activity performance restoration of hope improved access to care including ART willingness to undergo HIV testing
