Meningitis diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes in rural, northern Uganda
Meningitis affects over 2.5 million people worldwide, primarily within resource-limited regions of the meningitis belt of Africa. In 2017, we implemented a cryptococcal meningitis (CM) diagnosis and treatment program (CM-DTP) designed to improve CM outcomes. In 2021, a meningitis diagnosis and treatment program (MEN-DTP) began to include all etiologies of meningitis to assess the impact of expanded diagnosis and treatment of meningitis. We conduc…
Impact of a Cryptococcal meningitis diagnosis and treatment program at Lira Regional Referral Hospital in rural, Northern Uganda
In rural areas of sub-Saharan Africa, infrastructure and resources for treatment of cryptococcal meningitis (CM) are often lacking. We introduced a CM diagnosis and treatment program (CM-DTP) at Lira Regional Referral Hospital (LRRH) in rural Uganda to determine if implementing high-quality standard of care protocols would improve outcomes. Information extracted from hospital charts and clinical record forms at LRRH were used to compare diagnoses…
Improving the accuracy of heart failure diagnosis in low-resource settings through task sharing and decentralization
Background: Task sharing of TTE may improve capacity for heart failure diagnosis and management in patients in remote, low-resource settings but the impact on diagnostic accuracy and patient outcomes has not been studied.Objectives: Determine feasibility and impact of non-expert training in transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) to improve the diagnosis and outcomes of patients with suspected heart failure in Uganda.Methods: This two-part study exa…
