Table 3 Estimated episode durations, incidence corrections factors, and annual caseloads for moderate and severe wasting. Original caseload refers to the value estimated with k = 1.6 and context-specific caseload refers to the value estimated using the model-derived k-value
From: A mathematical model to estimate the incidence of child wasting in Yemen
Original average duration of episode (months) | Context-specific average duration of episode (months) | Original k-value | Context-specific k-value | Original annual caseload | Context-specific annual caseload | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Moderate wasting | 7.5 | 4.64 | 1.6 | 2.59 | 49,981 | 67,891 |
Severe wasting | 7.5 | 3.86 | 1.6 | 3.11 | 10,919 | 17,256 |
