1 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
Except for children with HIV, all recommendations for treatment of childhood malnutrition are for children \< 5 years of age. The overall goal of this randomized controlled nutrition feasibility trial is to identify whether families of children with sickle cell disease (SCD) 5 years and older agree to participate over a 12-week period. The investigators will also establish a safety protocol for monitoring potential complications associated with treating severe malnutrition in children 5 years and older with and without SCD, in a low-resource setting.
