Stratified analyses of IMCI and non-IMCI trained health workers’ performance outcomes with the number of pooled studies before each point estimate.

<p>Abbreviations: RR = Pooled relative risk; 95% CI = 95% confidence intervals; HDI = Human Development Index; MCE = Multi-Country Evaluation; C-RCT = cluster randomized controlled trial, Excl. Grey Lit = excluding grey literature; Excl. Composite = excluding composite proportions based on illness encounters instead of child encounters; –Not reported.</p

Forest plots showing pooled point estimates for various outcomes stratified by baseline performance.

<p>(a) Illness classification stratified by baseline performance. (b) Medications stratified by baseline performance. (c) Vaccinations stratified by baseline performance.</p

Comparisons of the pooled effect estimates and number needed to treat for each primary outcome and stratified by baseline performance.
