Abstract Introduction Wilms tumor therapy in low‐ and middle‐income countries (LMICs) relies on treatment protocols adapted to resource limitations, but these have rarely been evaluated real‐world settings. Such evaluations are necessary identify high‐impact research priorities for clinical implementation trials LMICs. The purpose of this study was highest priority targets future sub‐Saharan Africa by assessing outcomes a resource‐adapted protocol Malawi. Methods We conducted retrospective...
Gastroschisis is associated with less than 4% mortality in high-income countries and over 90% many tertiary paediatric surgery centres across sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). The aim of this trial to develop, implement prospectively evaluate an interventional bundle reduce from gastroschisis seven SSA.
COVID-19 transmission and disease dynamics in sub-Saharan Africa are not well understood. Our study aims to provide insight into epidemiology Malawi by estimating SARS-CoV-2 prevalence immunity after infection a hospital-based setting.We conducted hospital-based, convenience sampling, cross-sectional survey for Lilongwe, Malawi. Participants answered questionnaire were tested enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay real-time reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). A surrogate...
BackgroundUntreated surgical conditions may lead to lifelong disability in children. Treating children with reduce long-term effects of morbidity and disability. Unfortunately, low- middle-income countries have limited resources for paediatric care. Malawi, example, has very few surgeons. There are also significantly inadequate infrastructures personnel treat these In order strengthen that could provide such services, we need begin by quantifying the need.AimTo estimate approximate...
Abstract Purpose: COVID-19 led to significant reduction in surgery worldwide. Studies, however, of the effect on surgical volume for pediatric patients low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) are limited. Methods: A survey was developed estimate waitlists LMICs priority conditions children. The piloted revised before it deployed over email 19 surgeons. Pediatric surgeons at 15 different sites 8 Sub-Saharan Africa Ecuador completed from February 2021 June 2021. included total number children...
Abstract Purpose Wilms tumor is a common renal cancer of childhood with long-term survival rates exceeding 80% in high-resource countries, yet remains below 50% the low-resource settings Africa. We assessed outcomes resource-adapted treatment protocol at Malawian hospital to identify actionable factors affecting survival. Methods clinical single-center retrospective cohort study children diagnosed between 2016 and 2021 Lilongwe, Malawi. Findings identified 136 patients tumor, most commonly...
