Feasibility, acceptability and preliminary effectiveness of the Hospital to Home discharge and follow-up programme in rural Uganda
INTRODUCTION: Over 60% of premature infants are born in Africa or South Asia. Infants born early, small or who become sick after birth have a higher risk of death, poor growth and developmental impairments. Innovative interventions tailored for low- and middle-income countries are essential to help these newborns survive and develop optimally. This study evaluated the feasibility, acceptability and preliminary effectiveness of Hospital to Home (H…
Effects of Covid-19, control measures, and program adaptation on prevention of mother-to-child HIV transmission service uptake in Central Region, Uganda
COVID-19 control measures had a significant immediate negative impact on pregnancy deliveries at health facilities. During lockdown, all service rates rapidly recovered through program adaptations, significantly for HEI testing and deliveries. Maintaining these adaptations might help restore the positive trend in timely HIV testing for HEI
Feasibility and usability of a very low-cost bubble continuous positive airway pressure device including oxygen blenders in a Ugandan level two newborn unit
Background Preterm birth and resulting respiratory failure is a leading cause of newborn death- the majority of which occur in resource-constrained settings and could be prevented with bubble continuous positive airway pressure (bCPAP). Commercialized devices are expensive, however, and sites commonly use improvised devices utilizing 100% oxygen which can cause blindness. To address this, PATH and a multidisciplinary team developed a very low-cos…
Outborn newborns drive birth asphyxia mortality rates—An 8 year analysis at a rural level two nursery in Uganda
Birth asphyxia is a leading cause of global neonatal mortality. Most cases occur in low- and middle- income countries and contribute to half of neonatal deaths in Uganda. Improved understanding of the risk factors associated with mortality among these patients is needed. We performed a retrospective cohort study of a clinical database and report maternal demographics, clinical characteristics and outcomes from neonates with birth asphyxia at a Ug…
