Implementation and evaluation of a pragmatic community streptococcal treatment programme to improve rheumatic heart disease primary prevention in Uganda
INTRODUCTION: reatment Program (RESET)) to determine the effect of an integrated group A streptococcal (GAS) education and treatment programme on the echocardiographic burden of RHD among children aged 5-15 years in Uganda. METHODS: We implemented our interventions within the primary healthcare system of Tororo district, Eastern Uganda, over 2 years. The primary outcome was a reduction in RHD prevalence. Secondary outcomes included improved provi…
Integrating secondary prevention of rheumatic heart disease into the primary healthcare system in Northern Uganda
INTRODUCTION: Over 46 million people are living with rheumatic heart disease (RHD) globally, resulting in 380 000 premature deaths each year. Effective RHD prevention strategies are known but their implementation in low-resource settings has lagged. This study evaluated the feasibility and effectiveness of integrating secondary antibiotic prophylaxis into primary health centres to improve access and adherence to RHD care. METHODS: We conducted a …
Community co-design of contextually relevant rheumatic heart disease primary prevention
INTRODUCTION: Primary prevention of rheumatic heart disease (RHD) is aimed at timely diagnosis and treatment of superficial Group A Streptococcal infections, most commonly Strep sore throat. However, uptake and delivery of primary prevention for RHD-endemic regions has room for improvement. Community co-design is an important aspect of intervention development to increase sustainability and reach. METHODS: Group-level assessment (GLA) sessions we…

We tested the hypothesis that levels of trust may be lower among community members compared to hospitalized persons in Uganda. We enrolled 296 participants in rural northern Uganda, and 148(50%) were from the community, 192(65%) were female. Mean leve…
