Prevalence, incidence, and outcome of tuberculosis among young hospitalised children with acute illness in Sub-Saharan Africa and South East Asia
Background: Tuberculosis (TB) is a leading cause of paediatric morbidity and mortality. We sought to identify the prevalence of TB among children admitted to hospital with severe illness and to document incidence of TB, survival, and growth in the six months following discharge from hospital in two TB-endemic countries. Methods: We screened young children 2-23 months old enrolled in the Childhood Acute Illness and Nutrition Network cohort and adm…
Coping strategies of school-going adolescents during the Covid-19 pandemic in the climate vulnerable Manafwa watershed, Uganda
During the pandemic, majority of school-going adolescents employed adaptive coping mechanisms, including positive emotional regulation and social support. However, compared to males, females employed resignation more frequently. Moreover, middle-aged adolescents had a greater propensity for negative emotion copying. Findings from this study contribute valuable information for the development of targeted interventions and support mechanisms for ad…
Prevalence and factors contributing to mental health challenges among school-going adolescents
The prevalence of mental health challenges among students was high with majority having anxiety and disruptive behaviour. Adolescents from families with more than five children and those with substance abuse were more likely to have mental health challenges. We therefore recommend that various stakeholders such as the Ministry of Health, and the Ministry of Education, design a curriculum that caters to the mental health needs of children. Family …
Cross-sectional validation of the COPD Assessment Test (CAT) among chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients in rural Uganda
Measuring quality of life is a key component in the management of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). The COPD assessment test (CAT), an easy to administer and shorter instrument than the standard Saint George’s respiratory questionnaire (SGRQ), could be an alternative tool for measuring the quality of life of COPD patients in rural Uganda. A cross-sectional study was conducted between June and August 2022, consecutively recruiting 113 …
Acceptability of patient-centered hypertension education delivered by community health workers among people living with HIV/Aids in rural Uganda
Hypertension patient-centered education delivered by CHWs using the PocketDoktorTM was acceptable to PLWHA and hypertension in Nakaseke area in rural, Uganda. There is need for further studies to determine the cost implications of delivering this intervention among PLWHA across LMIC settings
Estimating the cost and cost-effectiveness for obstetric fistula repair in hospitals in Uganda
In Africa, about 33 000 cases of obstetric fistula occur each year. Women with fistula experience debilitating incontinence of urine and/or faeces and are often socially ostracized. Worldwide, Uganda ranks third among countries with the highest burden of obstetric fistula. Obstetric fistula repair competes for scarce resources with other healthcare interventions in resource-limited settings, even though it is surgically efficacious. There is limi…
