Impact analysis and evaluation of the Ethiopian Neonatal Network
The Ethiopian Neonatal Network (ENN) represents one of the first low-income country neonatal quality improvement (QI) communities. To determine if changes in structure, process and outcome measures were associated with formation of the ENN and to learn from teams, quantitative and qualitative analyses were completed. All infants discharged during 2018–2022 from 11 hospitals with consistent data collection over the 5-year period were included in i…
Neonatal diet and growth outcomes in hospitalised very preterm infants: An observational study in middle income countries in Africa, Asia, and Latin America
Background: Up-to-date data from middle-income countries are needed to inform in-hospital feeding practices among small, vulnerable newborns. We aimed to quantify growth indicators and their associations with in-hospital diet for infants born very preterm or with a very low birth weight (VLBW) of 401-1500 g in 12 middle income countries in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Methods: We performed an observational cohort study of infants born at 22-2…
Optimizing data collection for obstetrical ultrasound research at the primary health care level in rural Uganda
BACKGROUND: Neonatal and maternal mortality remains high in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC), especially in sub-Saharan Africa. Quality data collection is crucial to understand the magnitude of these problems and to measure the impact of interventions aimed at improving neonatal and maternal mortality. However, data collection in the low-income country setting, especially in rural areas, has been a challenge for researchers, policy makers,…
Impact of an Educational Clinical Video Combined with Standard Helping Babies Breathe Training on Acquisition and Retention of Knowledge and Skills among Ethiopian Midwives
Helping Babies Breathe (HBB) is an evidence-based neonatal resuscitation program designed for implementation in low-resource settings. While HBB reduces rates of early neonatal mortality and stillbirth, maintenance of knowledge and skills remains a challenge. The extent to which the inclusion of educational clinical videos impacts learners' knowledge and skills acquisition, and retention is largely unknown. We conducted a cluster-randomized contr…
Nicu Admissions for Meconium Aspiration Syndrome before and after a National Resuscitation Program Suctioning Guideline Change
The Textbook of Neonatal Resuscitation, seventh edition, does not suggest routine endotracheal suctioning for non-vigorous infants born through meconium-stained amniotic fluid. We compared 301,150 infants at ≥35 weeks' gestational age inborn at 311 Vermont Oxford Network member centers in the United States (U.S.) and admitted to neonatal intensive care units (NICU) who were born before (2013 to 2015) and after (2017) the guideline change. Logisti…
Comparison of 4 Recruiting Strategies in a Smoking Cessation Trial
Online ads and off-line materials were most effective and cost-effective methods
Social status, gender and alcohol-related problems: The black young adult experience
While blacks are not as engaged in risky/heavy drinking, they are not shielded from problems conditional on drinking patterns. Focus on alcohol-related problems among black males and unemployed is indicated
Implications of Cannabis Use and Heavy Alcohol Use on HIV Drug Risk Behaviors in Russian Heroin Users
Cannabis and heavy alcohol use potentially increase HIV transmission by increasing risky drug behaviors. We studied 404 subjects entering treatment for heroin dependence, in St. Petersburg, Russia. We used the HIV Risk Assessment Battery (RAB) drug subscale to measure risky drug behavior. Although all heavy alcohol users had risky drug behaviors, their drug RAB scores did not differ from non-heavy alcohol users in unadjusted or adjusted analyses.…
