Background: Despite a reduction in sudden unexplained infant death (SUID) in high-income countries, the incidence of SUID and the prevalence of its risk and protective factors remain poorly understood in Zambia due to limited research. We aimed to describe the infant sleep positions and sleep environments in an urban Zambian population to gain a better understanding of modifiable risk factors for SUID. Methods: We used antenatal, birth, and postn…
Costs and cost-effectiveness of an infection prevention bundle to reduce neonatal sepsis and mortality in Zambia
The Sepsis Prevention in Neonates in Zambia (SPINZ) trial was a prospective observational cohort study conducted in the neonatal intensive care unit of the University Teaching Hospital in Lusaka, Zambia. Introduction of an infection prevention and control (IPC) bundle reduced hospital-associated mortality, total mortality, suspected sepsis, and confirmed bloodstream infections. This companion analysis was undertaken to analyze intervention costs …
Transmission dynamics of Klebsiella pneumoniae in a neonatal intensive care unit in Zambia before and after an infection control bundle
Klebsiella pneumoniae is a leading cause of neonatal sepsis in low- and middle-income countries, with antimicrobial resistance (AMR) significantly contributing to mortality. We used whole genome sequencing to explore the impact of an infection prevention and control (IPC) intervention on K. pneumoniae strains and transmission dynamics responsible for sepsis in a Zambian neonatal unit. Blood culture isolates were collected during the Sepsis Preven…
Global, regional, and national disease burden estimates of acute lower respiratory infections due to respiratory syncytial virus in children younger than 5 years in 2019
BACKGROUND: Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the most common cause of acute lower respiratory infection in young children. We previously estimated that in 2015, 33·1 million episodes of RSV-associated acute lower respiratory infection occurred in children aged 0-60 months, resulting in a total of 118 200 deaths worldwide. Since then, several community surveillance studies have been done to obtain a more precise estimation of RSV associated co…
