The Child Health and Mortality Prevention Surveillance (CHAMPS) Network programme undertakes post-mortem minimally invasive tissue sampling (MITS), together with collection of ante-mortem clinical information, to investigate causes childhood deaths across multiple countries. We aimed evaluate the overall contribution pneumonia in causal pathway death causative pathogens fatal children aged 1-59 months enrolled CHAMPS Network.
Importance Although child mortality trends have decreased worldwide, deaths among children younger than 5 years of age remain high and disproportionately circumscribed to sub-Saharan Africa Southern Asia. Tailored innovative approaches are needed increase access, coverage, quality health care services reduce mortality, but an understanding system deficiencies that may the greatest impact on is lacking. Objective To investigate which public improvements could prevented most stillbirths in...
Neural tube defects are common birth resulting in severe morbidity and mortality; they can largely be prevented with periconceptional maternal intake of folic acid. Understanding the occurrence neural their contribution to mortality settings where burden is highest could inform prevention health-care policy. We aimed estimate attributed seven countries sub-Saharan Africa southeast Asia.
Invasive Group B Streptococcus (GBS) is a common cause of early-onset neonatal sepsis and also associated with stillbirth. This study aimed to determine the proportion stillborn infants who died between 0 90 days attributable GBS using postmortem minimally invasive tissue sampling (MITS) in 7 low- middle-income countries (LMICs) participating Child Health Mortality Prevention Surveillance (CHAMPS). Deaths that occurred December 2016 2021 were investigated MITS, including culture for bacteria...
Understanding community members' knowledge of SARS-CoV-2 transmission and prevention is essential for directing public health interventions to reduce disease spread improve vaccination coverage. Here, we describe COVID-19 transmission, prevention, symptoms among residents in Mozambique. We conducted a cross-sectional survey 33,087 households Health Demographic Surveillance System Manhiça, Participants were recruited April 2021 before the Delta variant wave peak Omicron cases February 2022....
The COVID-19 pandemic has prompted countries to swiftly implement rigorous preventive measures on a population-wide scale worldwide. However, in low-income like Mozambique this was difficult, coupled with generalised lack of knowledge how the population understood and complied these measures. This study assessed community perceptions implementation anti-COVID-19 recommended by Mozambican authorities Manhiça Quelimane districts, including confinement, social distancing, frequent handwashing,...
Importance The emergence of acute neurological symptoms in children necessitates immediate intervention. Although low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) bear the highest burden diseases, there is a scarcity diagnostic therapeutic resources. Therefore, current understanding etiology emergencies LMICs relies mainly on clinical diagnoses verbal autopsies. Objective To characterize association premortem their management with postmortem-confirmed cause death among aged younger than 5 years to...
Abstract Over 230,000 COVID-19 cases and over 2,200 deaths have been reported in Mozambique though May 2023. Understanding community members’ knowledge of SARS-CoV-2 transmission prevention is essential for directing public health interventions to reduce disease spread improve vaccination coverage. Here, we describe transmission, prevention, symptoms among residents Mozambique. We conducted a cross-sectional survey 33,087 households Health Demographic Surveillance System Manhiça,...
The Manhiça Health Research Centre (Manhiça HDSS) was established in 1996 Manhiça, a rural district at Maputo Province the southern part of Mozambique with approximately 49,000 inhabited households, total population 209.000 individuals, and an annual estimated birth cohort about 5000 babies. Since 2016, HDSS is implementing Child Mortality Prevention Surveillance (CHAMPS) program aiming to investigate causes death (CoD) stillbirths children under age 5 years using innovative post-mortem...
Data collection was implemented through an initiative by the Child Health and Mortality Prevention Surveillance (CHAMPS) Network to assess whether lockdowns other social distancing policies during COVID-19 had implications for household economic status, maternal child health, healthcare accessibility pregnant women children. The data were collected from April 2021 until February 2022 a population living in rural community of Mozambique. This is located within Demographic System (HDSS) that...
In resource-limited settings where vital registration and medical death certificates are unavailable or incomplete, verbal autopsy (VA) is often used to attribute causes of (CoD) prioritize resource allocation interventions. We aimed determine the CoD concordance between InterVA CHAMPS’s method. The (CoDs) children <5 were determined by two methods using data from seven low- middle-income countries (LMICs) enrolled in Child Health Mortality Prevention Surveillance (CHAMPS) network. first...

Introduction Malnutrition contributes to 45% of all childhood deaths globally, but these modelled estimates lack direct measurements in countries with high malnutrition and under-5 mortality rates. We investigated malnutrition’s role infant child the Child Health Mortality Prevention Surveillance (CHAMPS) network. Methods analysed CHAMPS data from seven sites (Bangladesh, Ethiopia, Kenya, Mali, Mozambique, Sierra Leone South Africa) collected between 2016 2023. An expert panel assessed each...
Abstract Background In resource-limited settings where vital registration and medical death certificates are unavailable or incomplete, verbal autopsy (VA) is often used to attribute causes of (CoD), identify the distribution trends diseases, prioritize resource allocation interventions. However, VA findings can be non-specific, as this tool based on family members’ recall symptoms rather than objective diagnostic testing. We aimed compare CoD diagnoses obtained in stillbirths children below...

ABSTRACT Background The COVID-19 pandemic has led countries into urgent implementation of stringent preventive measures at the population level. However, implementing these in low-income like Mozambique was incredibly difficult, coupled with lack scientific evidence on community understanding and compliance measures. This study assessed perceptions recommended by Mozambican authorities Manhiça Quelimane districts, taking confinement, social distancing, frequent handwashing, mask wearing,...
Background: Pneumonia etiology in resource-limited settings is challenging to determine due the paucity of direct lung tissue sampling. This study used post-mortem minimally invasive sampling (MITS) assess fatal pneumonia etiologies children aged 1-59 months across six sub-Saharan and one South Asian low- middle-income settings, participating Child Health Mortality Prevention Surveillance (CHAMPS) network.Methods: Deaths occurring between December 2016 2022 were investigated using MITS...
