Outcomes of Hospitalized Infants Aged One to Six Months in Relation to Different Anthropometric Indices - An Observational Cohort Study.

WAZ < -3 was the most sensitive predictor out of all individual and combined parameters/indexes in identifying infants less than six months at high risk of mortality which suggests that, it should be used to identify at-risk infants between one to six months on admission to in-patient care. Children identified as falling into this category should be properly evaluated and treated during their in-patient stay.
