Development and validation of a novel clinical risk score to predict hypoxaemia in children with pneumonia using the WHO PREPARE dataset
BACKGROUND: Hypoxaemia predicts mortality at all levels of care, and appropriate management can reduce preventable deaths. However, pulse oximetry and oxygen therapy remain inaccessible in many primary care health facilities. We aimed to develop and validate a simple risk score comprising commonly evaluated clinical features to predict hypoxaemia in 2-59-month-old children with pneumonia. METHODS: Data from seven studies conducted in five countri…
Community health workers identify children requiring health center admission in Northern Uganda: Prehospital risk prediction using vital signs and advanced point-of-care tests
Background Over five million children die annually from preventable and treatable illnesses. Most of these deaths occur in sub-Saharan Africa, predominantly in socioeconomically deprived regions. With nearly half of pediatric mortality occurring at the community level, serious illnesses must be detected early in the prehospital setting. The purpose of this 18-month, prospective, observational pilot study was to introduce the first use of the proi…
Point-of-care prognostication in moderate Covid-19: Analytical validation and prognostic accuracy of a soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR) rapid test
The soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR) has been proposed as a biomarker for risk stratification of patients presenting with acute infections. However, most studies evaluating suPAR have used platform-based assays, the accuracy of which may differ from point-of-care tests capable of informing timely triage in settings without established laboratory capacity. Using samples and data collected during a prospective cohort study o…
Predictors of disease severity in children presenting from the community with febrile illnesses: A systematic review of prognostic studies
Anticipating the future: Prognostic tools as a complementary strategy to improve care for patients with febrile illnesses in resource-limited settings
In low-income and middle-income countries, most patients with febrile illnesses present to peripheral levels of the health system where diagnostic capacity is very limited. In these contexts, accurate risk stratification can be particularly impactful, helping to guide allocation of scarce resources to ensure timely and tailored care. However, reporting of prognostic research is often imprecise and few prognostic tests or algorithms are translated…
The impact of pulse oximetry on diagnosis, management and outcomes of acute febrile illness in low-income and middle-income countries: A systematic review
Antibiotic use and resistance in emerging economies: A situation analysis for Viet Nam
Future legislation regarding antibiotic access must alter incentives for purchasers and providers and ensure effective enforcement. The Ministry of Health recently initiated a national action plan and approved a multicenter health improvement project to strengthen national capacity for antimicrobial stewardship in Viet Nam. This analysis provided important input to these initiatives. Our methodologies and findings may be of use to others across t…
