Enteric pathogen carriage in early childhood is associated with elevated CRP, lower IGF-1 and linear growth deficits
Introduction Globally, enteric pathogens have been associated with poor child growth and development. Our aim was to assess for predictors, consequences and potential mechanisms of enteric pathogen burden morbidity among children in rural Tanzania. Methods We performed a secondary data analysis of 1140 children from the Early-Life Interventions for Childhood Growth and Development in Tanzania (ELICIT) study, assessing stool samples from ages 6, 1…
Availability and functioning of neonatal care units and neonatal mortality across five regions in Tanzania
BACKGROUND: The neonatal mortality rate in Tanzania has remained persistently high, at 24 deaths per 1000 live births. To halve the current death rate by 2030, the WHO recommends that by 2025, at least 80% of districts should have a neonatal care unit (NCU) and use a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) device for respiratory support, among small and sick newborns. This study describes the availability and functioning of NCUs and facility-b…
Safer Births Bundle of Care” Implementation and Perinatal Impact at 30 Hospitals in Tanzania—Halfway Evaluation
Safer Births Bundle of Care (SBBC) consists of innovative clinical and training tools for improved labour care and newborn resuscitation, integrated with new strategies for continuous quality improvement. After implementation, we hypothesised a reduction in 24-h newborn deaths, fresh stillbirths, and maternal deaths by 50%, 20%, and 10%, respectively. This is a 3-year stepped-wedged cluster randomised implementation study, including 30 facilities…
Multiple micronutrients fortified salt
Quadruple-fortified salt and double-fortified salt are equally acceptable and have similar sensory scores as standard iodized salt when used to cook commonly eaten dishes in the study population
