Strategy | Average cost per child identified (US$) | Probability of death at 1 year for a child presenting with MAM (%) | Discounted life expectancy for a child presenting with MAM (years) | Incremental cost per death averted | Incremental cost per DALY averted |
Treat SAM only | 36.96 | 3.42 | 26.85 | Referent | Referent |
Treat MAM with RUSF | 89.01 | 2.89 | 27.00 | US$9820.75 | US$347.00 |
Treat MAM with CSB++ | 90.43 | 2.99 | 26.97 | Dom. | Dom. |
Treat MAM with MI | 90.86 | 3.01 | 26.96 | Dom. | Dom. |
Treat MAM with LMF | 99.91 | 3.06 | 26.95 | Dom. | Dom. |
Dom. indicates that a strategy was dominated by another strategy (or combination of strategies) being considered.
