Neonatal Jaundice Treatment Versus Recommendations
Neonatal jaundice (NNJ) is a leading cause of death in the early neonatal period, disproportionately affecting newborns in sub-Saharan Africa. In a setting without access to rapid assessment via transcutaneous bilirubin meter, we sought to determine how closely the diagnosis and treatment of neonatal jaundice at an urban district hospital aligned with retrospective assessment and treatment recommendations using the BiliApp (based on the UK NICE G…
Using a Hand-Held Icterometer to Screen for Neonatal Jaundice
A hand-held, low-tech icterometer is an important potential mechanism for improving early jaundice identification in low-resource settings. Further studies using larger sample sizes with a higher prevalence of hyperbilirubinemia are warranted
Stigma Associated With Sickle Cell Disease in Kumasi, Ghana
INTRODUCTION: People with sickle cell disease (SCD) often face stigmatization in Ghana and elsewhere in Africa. Research is needed to understand whether it is necessary to design an SCD stigma reduction program in the Ghanaian setting. The aim of this study was to explore the perception of stigmatization for adults with SCD in Kumasi, Ghana.
