Severe malaria-related disability in African children: a scoping review.

Promoting the use of a comprehensive biopsychosocial disability framework and classification system for severe malaria will provide a framework that other researchers, policymakers, and rehabilitation professionals can consider when looking at the best ways to support outcomes for children with severe malaria.Using a framework of the ICF-CY, we have highlighted the need for better research into child functioning outcomes in severe malaria research, especially within the domain of child participation.Policymakers should be encouraged to support better holistic evaluation, support, and rehabilitation of children who have had severe malaria.
