  • Screening for post-TB lung disease at TB treatment completion

    Open AccessJamilah Meghji, Vester Gunsaru et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    Pulmonary TB survivors face a high burden of post-TB lung disease (PTLD) after TB treatment completion. In this secondary data analysis we investigate the performance of parameters measured at TB treatment completion in predicting morbidity over the subsequent year, to inform programmatic approaches to PTLD screening in low-resource settings. Cohort data from urban Blantyre, Malawi were used to construct regression models for five morbidity outco…

  • Respiratory symptoms after TB treatment completion

    Open AccessJamilah Meghji, Wezi Msukwa-Panje et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    Pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) survivors experience a high burden of residual and recurrent respiratory symptoms after TB treatment completion. However, guidelines for the investigation and care of symptomatic TB-survivors are limited. We used qualitative methods to explore patient and provider understandings, experience and practice around respiratory symptoms in the post-TB period. We conducted in-depth interviews with PTB-survivors who had exper…

  • Quality of life among type 2 diabetes mellitus patients at Kamuzu Central Hospital in Lilongwe, Malawi

    Open AccessAlinafe Chisalunda, Wingston Ng’ambi et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023

    Type II diabetes mellitus (T2DM) significantly impacts quality of life (QoL) yet data among these patients in Malawi are lacking. This study was conducted to assess QoL among patients with T2DM. A mixed-method cross-section study was conducted at Kamuzu Central Hospital (KCH), Lilongwe, Malawi. Data collection was done using a modified diabetes quality of life (MDQoL)-17 questionnaire for quantitative data while in-depth interviews and diary meth…

  • TB morbidity estimates overlook the contribution of post-TB disability

    Open AccessEwan M Tomeny, Rebecca Nightingale et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2022

    Introduction Despite growing evidence of the long-term impact of tuberculosis (TB) on quality of life, Global Burden of Disease (GBD) estimates of TB-related disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) do not include post-TB morbidity, and evaluations of TB interventions typically assume treated patients return to pre-TB health. Using primary data, we estimate years of life lost due to disability (YLDs), years of life lost due to premature mortality (…

  • Establishment of a high-dependency unit in Malawi

    Open AccessBen Morton, Ndaziona Peter Kwanjo Banda et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2020

    Adults admitted to hospital with critical illness are vulnerable and at high risk of morbidity and mortality, especially in sub-Saharan African settings where resources are severely limited. As life expectancy increases, patient demographics and healthcare needs are increasingly complex and require integrated approaches. Patient outcomes could be improved by increased critical care provision that standardises healthcare delivery, provides special…
