  • Discharge policies and care practices for children with suspected sepsis

    Open AccessJessica Trawin, Martina Knappett et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2025

    Under-five children in low- and middle-income countries remain at high risk of death after hospital discharge. However, few studies have systematically assessed discharge processes or facility readiness to support safe transitions of care. This study aimed to assess health facility readiness to provide pediatric discharge care for children under five years of age and current discharge practices in a nationally representative sample of health faci…

  • Validation of a risk-prediction model for pediatric post-discharge mortality after hospital admission for infection in Rwanda

    Open AccessAnneka Hooft, Christian Umuhoza et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2025

    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

    Open AccessChristian Umuhoza, Anneka Hooft et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2025

    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

    Open AccessMatthew O Wiens, Vuong Nguyen et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    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…
