Gedetailleerde beschrijving
Randomized controlled trial of n-3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acid-Enriched Therapeutic Food for Severe Malnutrition.
Description of Study Design: Randomized Controlled Trial
Study Duration: 6 months (Trial); 12 months (All trial-related activities)
Description of Intervention: Provision of ready to use food (RUTF) enriched with flax seed oil, with or without fish oil, compared to conventional-composition RUTF. Interventional product will be given until nutritional recovery to a maximum of 12 weeks.
Design: Flax-enriched or standard RUTF allocation is randomised and double blind. Fish oil allocation is randomised within those receiving flax-enriched RUTF and is open label.
Location: Kilifi District, coastal Kenya.

Beschrijving
Inclusion Criteria:
- Children aged 6 months to 5 years old
- Provision of informed consent
- Severe malnutrition (one or more of mid-upper arm circumference <11.5cm, weight for height z score <-3, or nutritional oedema)
- Stabilised and eligible to receive RUTF according to national guidelines
Exclusion Criteria:
- Known HIV disease, tuberculosis or other chronic infection*
Known allergy or hypersensitivity to any of the product ingredients
- Chronic infections such as HIV and tuberculosis and their treatments are likely to cause alterations in lipid metabolism that may confound interpretation of this pilot trial. national guidelines recommend offering provider-initiated testing for HIV for all severely malnourished children, and referral for comprehensive care in the case of a positive test.
