Impact of Stunting on Outcomes of Severely Wasted Children (6 Months to 5 Years) Admitted for Inpatient Treatment
Background : Undernutrition is a major public health concern, accounting for nearly half of global under-five mortalities and leading to serious long-term consequences for those who survive. Most nutritional screening programs give priority to acute undernutrition (wasting). The co-presence of chronic undernutrition (stunting) has been shown to have the highest risk of mortality. To date, few studies have assessed outpatient treatment outcomes of…
Effectiveness of Bundled Interventions for the Prevention of Neonatal Hypothermia in Low-Income Settings
In a Sub-Saharan referral hospital, the implementation of bundled interventions to maintain the warm chain improved neonatal temperature at admission and during hospitalization, and reduced hypothermia episodes during hospitalization
Adherence to WHO guidelines on severe pneumonia management in children and its impact on outcome
Adherence to the revised WHO guideline was limited and not associated with outcomes. Efforts should focus on reducing the gap between theory and practice
Incorrect Feeding Practices, Dietary Diversity Determinants and Nutritional Status in Children Aged 6–23 Months
Although some factors (economic and religious) may be difficult to overcome, other factors linked to erroneous beliefs (dangerous foods) or incorrect feeding practices (early weaning and an incorrect frequency of meals) can be targeted, to improve the effectiveness of nutritional counseling practices
Impact of Quality Improvement Bundle on Neonatal Mortality in a District Hospital in Tanzania
A quality improvement intervention was associated with decreased mortality among infants with birth weight between 1500 and 2499 g. Further efforts are needed to improve prognosis in very-low-birth-weight infants
Relationship between Admission Temperature and Risk of Cerebral Palsy in Infants Admitted to Special Care Unit in a Low Resource Setting
In a low-resource setting, we found a U-shaped relationship between the admission temperature and the risk of CP at one month of life. Expanding the analysis of the follow-up data to 12-24 months of age would be desirable in order to confirm and strengthen such findings
