Longitudinal Sars-CoV-2 seroprevalence among learners, parents, and teachers in a South African school community
Introduction Longitudinal assessments of SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence among a triad of parents, teachers and children in low-middle income countries are scarce. CoKiDSS assessed changes in seroprevalence among asymptomatic primary school learners, their parents, and teachers in a semi-rural South African school setting. Methods SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence was estimated at baseline (May–August 2023) and follow-up (October 2023) using a point-of-care CO…
Severe, primary, and incidental Covid-19 in hospitalised children, South Africa
Background: Knowledge gaps persist regarding paediatric COVID-19 clinical presentation, treatment and outcomes in high HIV prevalence settings, with low COVID-19 vaccine coverage. Methods: An ambi-directional cohort study was conducted in 13 South African public sector hospitals. Hospitalised children with SARS-CoV-2 infection or post-infection syndrome were included. Main outcomes measures included severe disease and primary COVID-19 (hospitalis…
Sars-CoV-2 seroprevalence among learners in grades 1–7, their parents and teachers in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa
Introduction: There is limited information on SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence among children and adolescents in LMIC school settings. We aimed to assess (1) the seroprevalence of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies, (2) prevalence of self-reported or confirmed SARS-CoV-2 prior infections and, (3) COVID-19 symptoms (including long-COVID) among a cohort of primary school learners, their parents and teachers in a semi-rural school setting approximately 3-years into the…
“If we work as a team, there are success stories.” Unpacking team members’ perceptions and experiences of what impacts team performance in a maternal and neonatal quality improvement programme in Sout…
Many maternal and neonatal deaths and stillbirths can be avoided if quality of care is improved. The South African National Department of Health implemented a multi-partner quality improvement (QI) programme between 2018 and 2022, in 21 facilities, with the aim to reduce maternal and perinatal mortality. We conducted a qualitative evaluation to explore QI team members’ perceptions of the factors shaping variation in team performance. The evaluati…
