Improving estimates of the burden of severe wasting: analysis of secondary prevalence and incidence data from 352 sites Format Abstract Introduction Estimates of incident cases of severe wasting among young children are not available for most settings but are needed for optimal planning of treatment programmes and burden estimation. To improve programme planning, global guidance recommends a single ‘incidence correction factor’ of 1.6 be applied to available prevalence estimates to account for incident cases.
