Table 2.

CHW assessment and treatment by case, showing illness classification and percentage ‘appropriate’ treatment given according to CHW patient encounter reports

Classification	# cases iCCM/mobile sites*	% ‘appropriate’ treatment**
fever1	2033	97.1
presumed pneumonia2,3	2087	88.2
diarrhea2	432	92.4
all Cases	4552	92.6

A ‘case’ occurs each time a CHW classifies an illness in a child, according to the ICCM algorithms; a single child assessed may be assigned to more than one category of illness; therefore number of cases of illness may exceed total number of assessments by CHWs.

^*case numbers treated by CHWs with iCCM training and mobile phone support

^**‘appropriate’yy treatment is defined as CHW reported medication/treatment in agreement with iCCM algorithm for classified illness and age range.

¹cases in 4-59 month-old children

²cases in 2-59 month-old children

³presumed pneumonia = cough + rapid breathing
