`Tekeste et al. 2012 <https://link-springer-com.offcampus.lib.washington.edu/article/10.1186/1478-7547-10-4>`__ found that an program with higher coverage of uncomplicated SAM treatment (outpatient/community treatment) had ~3 times lower complication rates than a program with lower coverage of uncomplicated SAM treatemnt (facility-based treatment).

* To evaluate how our model validates to this finding, we can compare the ratio of complicated SAM prevalence to total SAM prevalence in a scenario without treatment for uncomplicated SAM to a scenario with treatment for uncomplicated SAM. We would expect the difference to be >3 times as our modeled coverage differences are larger than what is expected in this publication.
