In comparison to the beta version from November 2008 the delta version from March 2011 contains besides several small improvements the following bigger modfications:

•    It is now possible to collect mortality data on the individual level (as opposed to household level) and to obtain more detailed results (sex and age specific death rates, percentages for the cause of death, etc.)
•    The MUAC is fully integrated in the training, results and plausibility part of ENA and the MUAC z-scores from the new WHO standards are automatically added when the data of the survey is exported to Excel.
•    The type of measurement (height or length) can be entered and the data is automatically corrected when it is not done in the standard way (e.g. a child measured standing when the age is < 2 years).
•    It is possible now to do a weighted analysis of the data. For each subject a weight can be entered and a report is given out in Excel similar to the WHO tables.
•    With a statistical calculator, it is possible to do descriptive statistics for any variable broken down by cut offs or ranges. Additionally cross tables between any of the variables and prevalence rates with design effect adjusted confidence intervals can be calculated.
•    A Food Security module is integrated which helps to find out why the nutritional status in a certain area is bad.
