  1. aMSD = Classification by mother/caregiver made using the specified “Click-MUAC” device or uniMUAC tape; CSD = Classification by IMAM clinical staff using the specified “Click-MUAC” device or uniMUAC tape
  2. bNumbers 1, 2 and 3 refer to specific “Click-MUAC” devices. Device 4 is the uniMUAC tape
  3. cPoint estimates and associated 95% confidence intervals of summary measures are reported
  4. dSAM is defined as MUAC < 115 mm; GAM is defined as MUAC < 125 mm. Devices 1 and 2 did not allow for GAM assessment
