BACKGROUND: Mortality and readmission rates are high in low-income countries following hospital discharge; however, few studies have studied the relationship between these outcomes. Hospital readmission is a complex outcome as it reflects illness severity and health-seeking behaviour. This study aims to better understand the heterogeneous nature of hospital readmission, especially as it pertains to mortality. METHODS: Secondary analysis of a pros…
Validation of a risk-prediction model for pediatric post-discharge mortality after hospital admission for infection in Rwanda
Mortality following hospital discharge remains a significant threat to child health, particularly in resource-limited settings. The Smart Discharges risk-prediction models use simple clinical, socio-behavioral, and point-of-care lab test variables to successfully predict children at the highest risk of death after hospital admission for infection to guide a risk-based approach to post-discharge care. In Rwanda, we externally validated five models…
Post-discharge mortality in suspected pediatric sepsis
Post-discharge death is a key contributor to pediatric mortality in sub-Saharan Africa. To address this period’s morbidity and mortality, evidence is needed to inform resource prioritization and policy development. No studies have been conducted in Rwanda, limiting understanding of post-discharge mortality. This study aimed to determine the incidence of and risk factors for post-discharge mortality among children under five admitted with suspecte…
Prediction models for post-discharge mortality among under-five children with suspected sepsis in Uganda
In many low-income countries, over five percent of hospitalized children die following hospital discharge. The lack of available tools to identify those at risk of post-discharge mortality has limited the ability to make progress towards improving outcomes. We aimed to develop algorithms designed to predict post-discharge mortality among children admitted with suspected sepsis. Four prospective cohort studies of children in two age groups (0–6 an…
The epidemiology and risk factors for postnatal complications among postpartum women and newborns in southwestern Uganda
Sub-Saharan Africa accounts for two-thirds of the global burden of maternal and newborn deaths. Adverse outcomes among postpartum women and newborns occurring in the first six weeks of life are often related, though data co-examining patients are limited. This study is an exploratory analysis describing the epidemiology of postnatal complications among postpartum women and newborns following facility birth and discharge in Mbarara, Uganda. This s…
