Figure 4: Change in aHR over time.

Figure 4:

The 6-month period after hospital discharge was divided into tertiles according to when deaths occurred and tertile-specific aHRs were calculated. The colours of the second and third periods show the magnitude change from the first period. Boxes containing diagonal lines represent aHRs that are not statistically significant, meaning that no significant association is observed between that particular risk factor and post-discharge mortality in that time period. For MUAC, the threshold of <110 mm applies to the cohort aged 0–6 months and <115 mm applies to the cohort aged 6–60 months. Feeding status was prospectively assessed at discharge by the study nurse and subjectively defined as either feeding well or feeding poorly. Actual aHR estimates are reported in the appendix (p 12). aHR=adjusted hazard ratio. BCS=Blantyre Coma Scale. MUAC=middle-upper-arm circumference. P=primary school. RDT=rapid diagnostic test. SpO2=oxygen saturation.
