: Data were collected retrospectively from medical files. The data was recorded and stored in an anonymized form without patient or provider identifiable information. This research fulfilled the exemption criteria set by the Médecins Sans Frontiers’ (MSF’s) Ethics Review Board (ERB) for a posteriori analyses of routinely collected clinical data and thus did not require Médecins Sans Frontiers’ ERB review. The MSF ethical guideline is available upon request. There was no functioning ethics review board in Yemen, and the study was conducted with permission from the Medical Director of Médecins Sans Frontier’s Operational Centre in Amsterdam (OCA) on the 9th of April 2018. The Medical Director oversees all medical activities of MSF – OCA, including the Taiz Houbane MCH Hospital, in which data for this study was collected.
