Abstract

BackgroundHelping Babies Breathe (HBB) is a newborn resuscitation training program designed to reduce neonatal mortality in low- and middle-income countries. However, skills decay after initial training is a significant barrier to sustained impact.ObjectiveTo test whether a mobile app, HBB Prompt, developed with user-centred design, helps improve skills and knowledge retention after HBB training.MethodsHBB Prompt was created during Phase 1 of this study with input from HBB facilitators and providers from Southwestern Uganda recruited from a national HBB provider registry. During Phase 2, healthcare workers (HCWs) in two community hospitals received HBB training. One hospital was randomly assigned as the intervention hospital, where trained HCWs had access to HBB Prompt, and the other served as control without HBB Prompt (NCT03577054). Participants were evaluated using the HBB 2.0 knowledge check and Objective Structured Clinical Exam, version B (OSCE B) immediately before and after training, and 6 months post-training. The primary outcome was difference in OSCE B scores immediately after training and 6 months post-training.ResultsTwenty-nine HCWs were trained in HBB (17 in intervention, 12 in control). At 6 months, 10 HCW were evaluated in intervention and 7 in control. In intervention and control respectively, the median OSCE B scores were: 7 vs. 9 immediately before training, 17 vs. 21 immediately after training, and 12 vs. 13 at 6 months after training. Six months after training, the median difference in OSCE B scores was -3 (IQR -5 to -1) in intervention and -8 (IQR -11 to -6) in control (p = 0.02).ConclusionHBB Prompt, a mobile app created by user-centred design, improved retention of HBB skills at 6 months. However, skills decay remained high 6 months after training. Continued adaptation of HBB Prompt may further improve maintenance of HBB skills.

Abstract

Background: SARS-CoV-2 infection can lead to multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C). We sought to investigate risk factors for admission to the intensive care unit (ICU) and explored changes in disease severity over time. Methods: We obtained data from chart reviews of children younger than 18 years with confirmed or probable MIS-C who were admitted to 15 hospitals in Canada, Iran and Costa Rica between Mar. 1, 2020, and Mar. 7, 2021. Using multivariable analyses, we evaluated whether admission date and other characteristics were associated with ICU admission or cardiac involvement. Results: Of 232 children with MIS-C (median age 5.8 yr), 130 (56.0%) were male and 50 (21.6%) had comorbidities. Seventy-three (31.5%) patients were admitted to the ICU but none died. We observed an increased risk of ICU admission among children aged 13-17 years (adjusted risk difference 27.7%, 95% confidence interval [CI] 8.3% to 47.2%), those aged 6-12 years (adjusted risk difference 25.2%, 95% CI 13.6% to 36.9%) or those with initial ferritin levels greater than 500 [micro]g/L (adjusted risk difference 18.4%, 95% CI 5.6% to 31.3%). Children admitted to hospital after Oct. 31, 2020, had numerically higher rates of ICU admission (adjusted risk difference 12.3%, 95% CI -0.3% to 25.0%) and significantly higher rates of cardiac involvement (adjusted risk difference 30.9%, 95% CI 17.3% to 44.4%). At Canadian sites, the risk of ICU admission was significantly higher for children admitted to hospital between December 2020 and March 2021 than those admitted between March and May 2020 (adjusted risk difference 25.3%, 95% CI 6.5% to 44.0%). Interpretation: We observed that age and higher ferritin levels were associated with more severe MIS-C. We observed greater severity of MIS-C later in the study period. Whether emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants pose different risks of severe MIS-C needs to be determined., Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) (1) manifests as immune dysregulation after SARS-CoV-2 infection. (2) The syndrome has no pathognomonic features. Thus, the diagnostic criteria of the Royal College of [...]

Abstract

Introduction Ethiopia has made remarkable progress in reducing childhood and neonatal mortality in the last two decades. However, with the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic in Ethiopia, disruptions in routine health care pose a significant risk in reversing the gains made in neonatal mortality reduction. Methods Using the World Health Organization's health systems building blocks framework we examined the mechanisms by which the pandemic may impact neonatal health. Results Our analysis suggests that the COVID-19 pandemic and measures taken by the government to control its spread could indirectly set back the gains made in neonatal mortality reduction in Ethiopia by weakening the health system building blocks. On the other hand, by exposing longstanding issues in the health system, the pandemic has pressed health sector stakeholders to urgently test innovative approaches to maintain delivery of essential health care. Conclusions We recommend that the Ministry of Health of Ethiopia strike a right balance between the control of the pandemic and ensuring provision of essential neonatal health services. As the pandemic continues to spread in the country, the government should avoid verticalization of pandemic response efforts and adopt a diagonal investment approach to effectively respond to the pandemic as well as build health system resilience to maintain the gains made in the neonatal health., Author(s): Abiy Seifu Estifanos [sup.1] , Kescha Kazmi [sup.2] , Shaun K.

Abstract

Contexte : Les facteurs de risque de complications graves de l'infection par le SRAS-CoV-2 n'ont pas ete bien etablis chez les enfants. Nous avons voulu decrire les hospitalisations pediatriques associees au SRAS-CoV-2 au Canada et identifier les facteurs de risque de maladie grave. Methodes : Nous avons procede a une etude prospective nationale en utilisant l'infrastructure du Programme canadien de surveillance pediatrique (PCSP). Les hospitalisations d'enfants ayant contracte une infection par le SRAS-CoV-2 confirmee en laboratoire de microbiologie ont ete rapportees du 8 avril au 31 decembre 2020 au moyen de questionnaires hebdomadaires en ligne distribues au reseau du PCSP, qui compte plus de 2800 pediatres. Nous avons categorise les hospitalisations comme suit : liees a la COVID-19, infections decouvertes fortuitement, ou hospitalisations pour des raisons sociales ou de controle des infections, et degage les facteurs de risque associes a la gravite de la maladie chez les patients hospitalises. Resultats : Sur les 264 hospitalisations d'enfants ayant contracte le SRAS-CoV-2 au cours de la periode de l'etude de 9 mois, 150 (56,8 %) ont ete associees a la COVID-19 et 100 (37,9 %o) etaient des cas decouverts fortuitement (admission pour d'autres raisons et decouverte fortuite du SRAS-CoV-2 par depistage positif). Les nourrissons (37,3 %) et les adolescents (29,6 %) representaient la majorite des cas. Parmi les hospitalisations liees a la COVID-19, 52 patients (34,7 %) etaient atteints d'une forme grave de la mala die, dont 42 (28,0 % des cas lies a la COVID-19) ont eu besoin d'une forme d'assistance respiratoire ou hemodynamique, et 59 (39,3 %o) presentaient au moins 1 comorbidite sous-jacente. Les enfants atteints d'obesite, de maladies neurologiques chroniques ou de maladies pulmonaires chroniques, a l'exclusion de l'asthme, etaient plus susceptibles de presenter une forme grave ou critique de la COVID-19. Interpretation : Parmi les enfants hospitalises au Canada chez lesquels on a diagnostique une infection par le SRAS-CoV-2 au debut de la pandemie de COVID-19, la decouverte fortuite du SRAS-CoV-2 a ete frequente. Chez les enfants hospitalises pour une COVID-19 aigue, l'obesite et les comorbidites neurologiques et respiratoires ont ete associees a une gravite accrue., En date du 31 decembre 2020, le Canada comptait 581 427 cas confirmes d'infection par le SRAS-CoV-2 (1).

Abstract

Background: Risk factors for severe outcomes of SARS-CoV-2 infection are not well established in children. We sought to describe pediatric hospital admissions associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection in Canada and identify risk factors for more severe disease. Methods: We conducted a national prospective study using the infrastructure of the Canadian Paediatric Surveillance Program (CPSP). Cases involving children who were admitted to hospital with microbiologically confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection were reported from Apr. 8 to Dec. 31 2020, through weekly online questionnaires distributed to the CPSP network of more than 2800 pediatricians. We categorized hospital admissions as related to COVID-19, incidental, or for social or infection control reasons and determined risk factors for disease severity in hospital. Results: Among 264 hospital admissions involving children with SARS-CoV-2 infection during the 9-month study period, 150 (56.8%) admissions were related to COVID-19 and 100 (37.9%) were incidental infections (admissions for other reasons and found to be positive for SARS-CoV-2 on screening). Infants (37.3%) and adolescents (29.6%) represented most cases. Among hospital admissions related to COVID-19, 52 (34.7%) had critical disease, 42 (28.0%) of whom required any form of respiratory or hemodynamic support, and 59 (39.3%) had at least 1 underlying comorbidity. Children with obesity, chronic neurologic conditions or chronic lung disease other than asthma were more likely to have severe or critical COVID-19. Interpretation: Among children who were admitted to hospital with SARS-CoV-2 infection in Canada during the early COVID-19 pandemic period, incidental SARS-CoV-2 infection was common. In children admitted with acute COVID-19, obesity and neurologic and respiratory comorbidities were associated with more severe disease., As of Dec. 31, 2020, Canada had 581427 confirmed cases of SARS-CoV-2 infection. (1) Similar to other countries, most confirmed infections were in adults, in part because of initial testing [...]
