Validation of polyester nasal swabs for post-mortem Sars-CoV-2 diagnosis in Karachi, Pakistan
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted global health, with low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) facing unique healthcare challenges. Polyester nasal swabs stored in dry tubes have emerged as a cost-effective and scalable method for routine testing of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). We aimed to assess the prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 among deceased individuals in an urban slum in Karachi, Pakista…
Evaluating the burden of respiratory tract infections among mortality cases in Karachi, Pakistan
Background: Respiratory tract infections (RTIs) significantly impact global health, but particularly affect low- and middle-income countries. They contribute to morbidity and mortality, especially among vulnerable populations. We evaluated the burden of RTIs in mortality cases in an urban slum of Karachi, Pakistan, during the post-COVID-19 pandemic period. Methods: We conducted a prospective observational study from September 2022 to October 2023…
Determining the cause of death through mortality surveillance using verbal autopsy in Karachi, Pakistan
Background: In Pakistan, cultural and religious beliefs restrict autopsies, limiting their prevalence. Additionally, many deaths occur at home, outside of hospital systems, making cause-of-death (CoD) determination challenging. This study aims to overcome these challenges by using a community-based verbal autopsy approach in Karachi to identify CoD. Methods: The research was conducted in two peri-urban communities within the Health Demographic Si…
