Current dichotomous metrics obscure trends in severe and extreme child growth failure Open
Historically, the prevalence of child growth failure (CGF) has been tracked dichotomously as the proportion of children more than 2 SDs below the median of the World Health Organization growth standards. However, this conventional “thresho…

Guidance for Systematic Integration of Undernutrition in Attributing Cause of Death in Children Open
Minimally invasive tissue sampling (MITS) is increasingly being used to better understand causes of death in low-resource settings. Undernutrition (eg, wasting, stunting) is prevalent among children globally and yet not consistently coded …

Analysis and Methods to Mitigate Effects of Under-reporting in Count Data Open
Under-reporting of count data poses a major roadblock for prediction and inference. In this paper, we focus on the Pogit model, which deconvolves the generating Poisson process from the censuring process controlling under-reporting using a…
