Moderate or severe wasting in children with a history of low birth weight (LBW), prematurity, or small for gestational age (SGA). As indicated in objective 1, severe wasting should be included in part 1 unless it is clearly not associated with the cause of death, in which case it should be listed in part 2. As indicated in objective 1, moderate wasting should be included in part 2 unless it is clearly associated with the cause of death, in which case it should be included in part 1. For severe or moderate wasting with birth weight (BW) for gestational age (GA) (BW-for-GA) below the 10th centile and concurrent prematurity, guidelines from the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, Tenth Revision (ICD-10) for coding prematurity should be followed. aAlternatively was weight-for-age centile at death (corrected for GA) unchanged or better/higher than BW-for-GA centile? bTo allow for comparisons when GA is unknown, when BW is <2500g, LBW should also be included in part 2 (unless it was clearly associated with another condition in the causal chain, in which case it should be included in part 1).
