Clinical and laboratory characteristics of adolescents and young adults with sickle cell disease at steady state in Uganda
Sickle cell disease (SCD) is associated with chronic systemic morbidity that extends beyond acute crises. However, data describing the clinical and laboratory characteristics of adolescents and young adults with SCD at steady state in sub-Saharan Africa are limited. We described clinical and laboratory characteristics of adolescents and young adults with SCD at steady state in Uganda. We conducted a hospital-based cross-sectional study of 60 adol…
A cost-consequence analysis of the children’s administration oxygenation strategies trial (Coast) in severe pneumonia
Oxygen supplementation is a recommended treatment for children with severe pneumonia or hypoxaemia. The open, fractional-factorial Children’s Oxygen Administration Strategies Trial (COAST) recruited Kenyan and Ugandan children with severe pneumonia and hypoxaemia. Participants in the severe hypoxaemia stratum (SpO 2 2 80–91%) to HFNT, LFO or permissive hypoxaemia (ratio 1:1:2). The trial stopped early and there is ongoing uncertainty about the cl…
Strengthening global partnerships for sustainable sickle cell disease care
BACKGROUND: Addressing sickle cell disease (SCD) is crucial for achieving health-related Sustainable Development Goals, particularly in Africa. The region is significantly affected, with 78.7% of patients with SCD residing in sub-Saharan Africa and over 515 000 newborns diagnosed annually. Historically, African health systems have struggled to provide optimal care for patients with SCD, resulting in high under-5 mortality and severe childhood mor…
Experiences of nursing and medical students with the use of Artificial Intelligence tools such as ChatGPT in Uganda
Medical and nursing students widely use ChatGPT and other artificial intelligence (AI) for their educational and learning needs. However, there are concerns of misuse and abuse of AI tools in medical education. We explored the experiences of medical students with the use of ChatGPT and other AI tools in education. This was a qualitative descriptive study to explore experiences of medical students, including students of Bachelor of Medicine and Su…
High Burden of Neurodevelopmental Delay among Children Born to Women with Obstructed Labour in Eastern Uganda
Over 250 million infants in low and middle-income countries do not fulfill their neurodevelopment potential. In this study, we assessed the incidence and risk factors for neurodevelopmental delay (NDD) among children born following obstructed labor in Eastern Uganda. Between October 2021 and April 2022, we conducted a cohort study of 155 children (aged 25 to 44 months), born at term and assessed their neurodevelopment using the Malawi Development…

No difference in sexual behavior of adolescent girls following Human Papilloma Virus vaccination
There was no significant difference in sexual behavior between vaccinated and non vaccinated girls
Knowledge of integrated management of childhood illnesses community and family practices (C-IMCI) and association with child undernutrition in Northern Uganda
We found a low level of overall knowledge of the C-IMCI of 13.3% (n = 59). There is also a high prevalence of childhood undernutrition in Northern Uganda. Caretakers' limited knowledge of the C-IMCI and rural residence was associated with both wasting and stunting. Interventions to increase the knowledge of the C-IMCI practices among caretakers need reinforcement
Situational analysis of teaching and learning of medicine and nursing students at Makerere University College of Health Sciences
BACKGROUND: Makerere University College of Health Sciences (MakCHS) in Uganda is undergoing a major reform to become a more influential force in society. It is important that its medicine and nursing graduates are equipped to best address the priority health needs of the Ugandan population, as outlined in the government's Health Sector Strategic Plan (HSSP). The assessment identifies critical gaps in the core competencies of the MakCHS medicine a…
