Wiens, Matthew O; Toliva,Opar Bernard; Nsungwa-Sabiiti, Jesca; Mwaka, Savio; Komugisha, Clare; Nyalwal, Beatrice Lydiah Adhiambo; Bone, Jeffrey; Nguyen, Vuong; Kenya-Mugisha, Nathan, 2024, "Smart Discharges for vulnerable refugee children: a cohort study to validate prognostic algorithms for post-discharge readmission and mortality among children living in refugee settings", https://doi.org/10.5683/SP3/KCFQ9U, Borealis, V1
Background: In many African countries, pediatric post-discharge mortality following in-hospital treatment for severe infectious illness is higher than in-hospital mortality (5-8%). Risk algorithms can be used to help health workers identify those most vulnerable to poor post-disc... |

Umuhoza, Christian; Hooft, Anneka; Uwiragiye, Emmanuel; Kornblith, Aaron; Wiens, Matthew O, 2024, "Smart Discharges to improve post-discharge health outcomes in children in Rwanda", https://doi.org/10.5683/SP3/NTNTZX, Borealis, V1
Background: The Smart Discharges studies in Uganda have enrolled over 10,000 children under-five with sepsis and have shown that death after hospital discharge occurs in 5-8% of patients, which is as common as death during the primary admission. The Smart Discharges evidence-base... |
