Description

The collection consists of: (1) A set of interview transcripts covering the perceived barriers to formalising guidelines regarding the treatment of severe acute malnutrition in children living with disabilities. Interviews were conducted with eight experts involved in guideline development and provide a first scoping and identification of possible issues leading to an underrepresentation of this vulnerable patient group in malnutrition guidelines; and (2) An Excel spreadsheet containing summarised content information of 71 national and international malnutrition guidelines for an overview of available guidance for children living with disabilities.

Methods

Description of data capture

Interviews were conducted via an online video call with eight experts involved in malnutrition guideline development. Interviewees received a participant information sheet and gave their informed consent. Interviews were transcribed, anonymised and offered to the interviewees for revision regarding accuracy. 71 malnutrition guidelines were sourced online (via a common search engine and through resource collections of malnutrition working groups, homepages of national health ministries or NGO homepages) and via professional contacts. They were read in their entirety, then relevant content (e.g. on clinical recommendations, availability of links to other disability specific guidance etc.) was extracted into an excel spreadsheet to provide a comprehensive overview.
