CRD SUMMARY:

This review of the community-based case management approach proposed by the World Health Organization for developing countries concluded that intervention reduces mortality in neonates, infants and preschool children and should be part of primary health care. Significant heterogeneity was present for some outcomes, suggesting that the results may not be generalisable.
