<strong>Background:</strong> As the volume of surgical cases in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) increases, surgical-site infections (SSIs) are becoming more prevalent with anecdotal evidence antimicrobial resistance (AMR), despite a paucity data on patterns. <strong>Objectives:</strong> primary objective, this prospective study aimed to describe epidemiology SSIs associated AMR among women who delivered by cesarean at rural Rwandan hospital. secondary objectives, also assessed...

Surgical site infections (SSIs) cause a significant global public health burden in low and middle-income countries. Most SSIs develop after patient discharge may go undetected. We assessed the feasibility diagnostic accuracy of an mHealth-community worker (CHW) home-based telemedicine intervention to diagnose women who delivered via caesarean section rural Rwanda.This prospective cohort study included underwent at Kirehe District Hospital between September 2019 March 2020. At postoperative...

Systematic data collection in high-income countries has demonstrated a decreasing burn morbidity and mortality, whereas lack of from low- middle-income hinders global overview epidemiology. In countries, dedicated registries are few. Instead, often recorded logbooks or as one variable trauma registries, where incomplete inconsistently information is known challenge. The University Teaching Hospital Kigali hosts the only unit Rwanda collected on patients admitted for acute care since 2005....

Surge capacity refers to preparedness of health systems face sudden patient inflows, such as mass-casualty incidents (MCI). To strengthen surge capacity, it is essential understand MCI epidemiology, which poorly studied in low- and middle-income countries lacking trauma databases. We propose a novel approach, the "systematic media review", analyze mass-trauma epidemiology; here piloted Rwanda.A systematic review non-academic publications MCIs Rwanda between January 1st, 2010, September 2020...

Fractures of the proximal tibia often require void filling to support articular fragments in combination with internal fixation. The most common techniques are iliac autograft, allograft, or synthetic bone graft substitutes.The distal femur and its large volume condyles a source cancellous within surgical site an open reduction fixation procedure. We have used minimally invasive technique harvest from femur, using drill. performed this investigation determine whether our femoral autograft...
