  • A cost-consequence analysis of the children’s administration oxygenation strategies trial (Coast) in severe pneumonia

    Open AccessOrlagh U Carroll, Richard Grieve et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2026

    Oxygen supplementation is a recommended treatment for children with severe pneumonia or hypoxaemia. The open, fractional-factorial Children’s Oxygen Administration Strategies Trial (COAST) recruited Kenyan and Ugandan children with severe pneumonia and hypoxaemia. Participants in the severe hypoxaemia stratum (SpO 2 2 80–91%) to HFNT, LFO or permissive hypoxaemia (ratio 1:1:2). The trial stopped early and there is ongoing uncertainty about the cl…

  • Diverging pathways

    Open AccessCherri Zhang, Niranjan Kissoon et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2025

    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…

  • Repeatability of RRate measurements in children during triage in two Ugandan hospitals

    Open AccessAhmad Asdo, Alishah Mawji et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2025

    Pneumonia is the leading cause of death in children globally. In low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) pneumonia diagnosis relies on accurate assessment of respiratory rate, which can be unreliable when completed by nurses with less-advanced training. To inform more accurate measurements, we investigate the repeatability of the RRate app used by nurses in Ugandan district hospitals. This secondary analysis included 3,679 children aged 0–5 year…

  • 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…

  • Strengthening health facilities for maternal and newborn care

    Open AccessGertrude Namazzi, Peter Waiswa et al.ARTICLEGlobal Health Action2015

    BACKGROUND: In Uganda maternal and neonatal mortality remains high due to a number of factors, including poor quality of care at health facilities. OBJECTIVE: This paper describes the experience of building capacity for maternal and newborn care at a district hospital and lower-level health facilities in eastern Uganda within the existing system parameters and a robust community outreach programme. DESIGN: This health system strengthening study, …
