Causes of death identified in neonates enrolled through Child Health and Mortality Prevention Surveillance (CHAMPS), December 2016 –December 2021
Each year, 2.4 million children die within their first month of life. Child Health and Mortality Prevention Surveillance (CHAMPS) established in 7 countries aims to generate accurate data on why such deaths occur and inform prevention strategies. Neonatal deaths that occurred between December 2016 and December 2021 were investigated with MITS within 24–72 hours of death. Testing included blood, cerebrospinal fluid and lung cultures, multi-pathoge…
Improving the quality of Covid-19 care in Sierra Leone
Introduction Improving the quality of care that patients receive is paramount to improving patient outcomes and engendering trust during infectious disease outbreaks. Whilst Quality Improvement (QI) is well established to drive improvement in routine care and in health systems, there are fewer reports of its use during infectious disease outbreaks. Methods A modified Delphi process was undertaken to create a standardized assessment tool for the q…
Infection Prevention and Control in Three Tertiary Healthcare Facilities in Freetown, Sierra Leone during the Covid-19 Pandemic
Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) measures are critical to the reduction in healthcare-associated infections, especially during pandemics, such as that of COVID-19. We conducted a hospital-based cross-sectional study in August 2021 at Connaught Hospital, Princess Christian Maternity Hospital and Ola During Children's Hospital located in Freetown, Sierra Leone. We used the World Health Organization's Infection Prevention and Control Assessmen…
Emergency Triage Assessment and Treatment Plus (Etat+)
BACKGROUND: Over the past 25 years Sierra Leone has made progress in reducing maternal and child mortality, but the burden of preventable paediatric deaths remains high. Further progress towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals will require greater strengthening of the health care system, including hospital care for perinatal and paediatric conditions. Emergency Triage Assessment and Treatment Plus (ETAT+) may offer a useful tool. METH…
Maternal common mental disorder and infant growth – a cross‐sectional study from Malawi
The objective of the study was to investigate the association between maternal common mental disorder (CMD) and infant growth in rural Malawi. A cross-sectional study was conducted at a district hospital child health clinic. Participants were consecutive infants due for measles vaccination, and their mothers. Mean infant weight-for-age and length-for-age z-scores were compared between infants of mothers with and without CMD as measured using the …
Impact of Maternal Depression on Infant Nutritional Status and Illness
BACKGROUND: The risk for emotional and behavioral problems is known to be high among children of depressed mothers, but little is known about the impact of prenatal and postnatal depression on the physical health of infants. OBJECTIVE: To determine whether maternal depression is a risk factor for malnutrition and illness in infants living in a low-income country. DESIGN: Prospective cohort study. SETTING: Rural community in Rawalpindi, Pakistan. …
Circle and Sequence in the Conjectural Lyric
HERE seem to be few straight lines in nature, for sequences tend to peak, arc, and return-perhaps even to recoil perversely back upon their origins. As W. B. Yeats knew, that event is secretly symbolized by archetype of egg-spiraling snake, or mutual transformation of circle and sequence, a rhythmic impetus and return of Uroboros in three dimensions. The oldest existing cave paintings, those at Lascaux, follow pattern of a spiraling sequence. Alm…
