Abstract

In the original publication of this article [Paganelli CR, Kassebaum N, Strong K, et al. Guidance for Systematic Integration of Undernutrition in Attributing Cause of Death in Children. Clin Infect Dis. Volume 73, Issue Supplement_5, 15 December 2021, Pages S374.S381, https://doi.org/10.1093/ cid/ciab851], there were a number of minor errors which have been corrected in the originally published version of this manuscript. In Table 1 on the Moderate Wasting line, 'WLZ score below -2 but above -3' should read 'WLZ score below -2 but above or equal to -3'. In the MITS ANTHROPOMETRY section, the statement on WHO growth standards for children -5 years of age has been corrected to ?5 years of age'. In the section Objective 1: Establish Guidance for When to Include Severe and Moderate Wasting and Stunting in Death Certification and in Part 1 (Causal Chain) or Part 2 (Contributing Condition), the reference to Figure 1 has been corrected to reference Figure 2. The Figure 2 reference at the end of this section has been removed. The access date has been added to Reference 37.
