    BACKGROUND: Every year, 1.9 million stillbirths occur worldwide, of whom 1.5 million occur in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) and Southeast Asia. OBJECTIVES: This study aims to determine the incidence and risk factors and to describe underlying causes for term stillbirths in Eastern Uganda.

  • High Burden of Neurodevelopmental Delay among Children Born to Women with Obstructed Labour in Eastern Uganda

    Open AccessMartin Chebet, Milton W Musaba et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2023

    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…

  • Questioning the ethics of international research on formula milk supplementation in low-income African countries

    Open AccessTanya Doherty, Ingunn Marie Stadskleiv Engebretsen et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2022

    Over the past three decades, the increase \nin funding for priority public health issues \nlargely affecting low/middle-income countries (LMICs) has led to the growth in international research involving researchers \nor research sponsors from a high-income \ncountry (HIC) conducting research in \nLMICs. The ethical considerations in such \ninternational research were raised in the \n1990s and several ethical guidelines specifically addressing int…

  • Caffeine for the care of preterm infants in sub-Saharan Africa

    Open AccessHelen Nabwera, Osayame A Ekhaguere et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2021

    In 2019, 2.4 million neonates (infants <28 days of age) died globally. Of these, over 80% were preterm infants (<37 weeks gestation), with the majority born in low-income and middle-income countries.1 Complications of preterm birth, largely from respiratory distress syndrome due to surfactant deficiency, pneumonia or apnoea of prematurity (AOP), are now the leading cause of under 5 mortality globally.1 These conditions are frequently fatal in the…

  • The BabySaver

    Open AccessJames Ditai, Aisling Barry et al.ARTICLEChildren2021

    The initial bedside care of premature babies with an intact cord has been shown to reduce mortality; there is evidence that resuscitation of term babies with an intact cord may also improve outcomes. This process has been facilitated by the development of bedside resuscitation surfaces. These new devices are unaffordable, however, in most of sub-Saharan Africa, where 42% of the world's 2.4 million annual newborn deaths occur. This paper describes…
