4 Great Lakes Region

a-b. This information comes from a surveillance system set up by EPICENTRE and MSF in Tingi-Tingi camps. The mortality rate calculations are based on an estimated population of 120,000 people, with 20,000 under-fives.

c. This survey was carried out by ACF in the Medical-Nutritional Centre of Maramvya in Burundi in January 1997. It was an exhaustive survey. 280 children 6-59 months old were included in the survey. Wasting was defined as wt/ht <-2sd and severe wasting as wt/ht <-3sd. Oedema was measured separately.

d. This survey was carried out by ACF in the Medical-Nutritional Centre of Maramvya in Burundi in January 1997. It was an exhaustive survey. This portion of the survey included 669 people older than ten years. Wasting was defined as a BMI<16. Oedema was also measured among this group.

e. This survey was carried out in Nyarugusu Camp for Zairian refugees in Tanzania by MSF. This was a two-stage cluster sample survey, targeting children 6-59 months old, or 65-110 cms tall. The sample size was 880. Families who were squatting at the registration and distribution sites were not included in the survey population. Wasting was defined as wt/ht <-2sd and severe wasting as wt/ht <-3sd. Oedema was measured separately.

a. This screening was on new arrivals from Sudan to Ethiopia. There are no details currently available on this survey, except that MUAC was used to define wasting.

a. This survey was carried out by MSF-B in January 1997 in Ifo camp. It was a two stage cluster sample survey including 971 children 6-59 months old, or 65-110 cms. Wasting was defined as wt/ht <-2sd and severe wasting as wt/ht <-3sd. Oedema was measured separately.

b. This survey was carried out by MSF-B in January 1997 in Dagahaley camp. It was a two stage cluster sample survey including 967 children 6-59 months old, or 65-110 cms. Wasting was defined as wt/ht <-2sd and severe wasting as wt/ht <-3sd. Oedema was measured separately.

c. This survey was carried out by MSF-B in January 1997 in Hagadera camp. It was a two stage cluster sample survey including 967 children 6-59 months old, or 65-110 cms. Wasting was defined as wt/ht <-2sd and severe wasting as wt/ht <-3sd. Oedema was measured separately.

a. This survey was carried out in Segbwema in July 1996 by CONCERN. It was a two stage cluster sample survey (30 clusters) and 760 children 6-59 months old were included. Wasting was defined as wt/ht <-2z and severe wasting wt/ht <-3z. Oedema was included with the figure for wasting.

b. This survey was carried out in Segbwema in December 1996 by CONCERN as a follow-up to the July survey described above. It was a two stage cluster sample survey (30 clusters) and 644 children 6-59 months old were included. Wasting was defined as wt/ht <-2z and severe wasting wt/ht <-3z. Oedema was included with the figure for wasting.

c. This survey was carried out by ACF in Freetown in December 1996. The survey was carried out on the resident population, and the displaced population living in town. Displaced people living in camps around Freetown were not included. This was a two stage cluster sample survey including 919 children 6-59 months old. Wasting was defined as wt/ht <-2sd and severe wasting as wt/ht <-3sd. Oedema was measured separately.

a. This is a rapid nutritional assessment conducted by International Medical Corps (IMC). Full details were not available.

a. These survey results were reported in the OLS Emergency Update No. 2, and full details were not included.

b-f. This was a cluster sample survey carried out in Wad Sherife, Shagarab I, II and II, Kilo 26 K, Girba and Um Sagata, Salmin, Umburush, Adingour, Zurzur (taken together as one group). 900 children were included in each of the surveys. Wasting was defined as wt/ht <80% of the median.

g. This survey was carried out in Hawata and Mafaza. It was a house to house survey and included all children in the camps. 666 children were included in the survey. Wasting was defined as wt/ht <80% of the median.

a. This survey was carried out b ACF in Mongola Settlement in Moyo District, Northern Uganda. It was a two stage cluster sample survey including 750 children 6-59 months old. This sample size was calculated to take into account the low number of children in the settlement by using a correction factor. Therefore, 30 clusters of 25 children were used. Wasting was defined as wt/ht <-2z and severe wasting wt/ht <-3z. Oedema was recorded separately.

a. This was a cluster sample survey (30 clusters of 30 children 6-59 months old) conducted by WHO in Jalalabad city. The total number of children included in the survey was 1072. Wasting was defined as wt/ht <-2z and severe wasting wt/ht <-3z.
