  • Safe infant feeding in healthcare facilities

    Open AccessBrooke A Caruso, Uriel Paniagua et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023

    Infants need to receive care in environments that limit their exposure to pathogens. Inadequate water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) environments and suboptimal infection prevention and control practices in healthcare settings contribute to the burden of healthcare-associated infections, which are particularly high in low-income settings. Specific research is needed to understand infant feeding preparation in healthcare settings, a task involvin…

    Open AccessAlexandre Dumont, Myriam De Loenzien et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2022

    Women’s fear and uncertainty about vaginal delivery and lack of empowerment in decision-making generate decision conflict and is one of the main determinants of high caesarean section rates in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). This study aims to develop a decision analysis tool (DAT) to help pregnant women make an informed choice about the planned mode of delivery and to evaluate its acceptability in Vietnam, Thailand, Argentina, and Burk…

  • Machine learning predictive modelling for identification of predictors of acute respiratory infection and diarrhoea in Uganda’s rural and urban settings

    Open AccessRornald Muhumuza Kananura, Melissa Morgan MedvedevARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2022

    Despite the widely known preventive interventions, the dyad of acute respiratory infections (ARI) and diarrhoea remain among the top global causes of mortality in under– 5 years. Studies on child morbidity have enormously applied “traditional” statistical techniques that have limitations in handling high dimension data, which leads to the exclusion of some variables. Machine Learning (ML) models appear to perform better on high dimension data (da…

  • Cost-effectiveness of pulse oximetry and integrated management of childhood illness for diagnosing severe pneumonia

    Open AccessSolomon Hailemariam, Eskindir Loha et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2022

    Pneumonia is a major killer of children younger than five years old. In resource constrained health facilities, the capacity to diagnose severe pneumonia is low. Therefore, it is important to identify technologies that improve the diagnosis of severe pneumonia at the lowest incremental cost. The objective of this study was to conduct a health economic evaluation of standard integrated management of childhood illnesses (IMCI) guideline alone and c…
