Treatment outcomes and factors affecting time-to-recovery from severe acute malnutrition in 6-59 months old children admitted to a stabilization center in Southern Ethiopia: A retrospective cohort study.

The overall recovery from complicated SAM children admitted at HU-CSH after a maximum of 59 days treatment was low (69.4%) and a very high proportion of children (10.8%) end up in death. Therefore, HU-CSH should give special focus for those children present with medical comorbidities during admission.
