Health Systems and Policy Contexts of Medical Oxygen
This is a mixed-methods program evaluation from a health systems and policy perspective, involving (i) stakeholder analysis, (ii) policy-implementation gap analysis, and (iii) comparative country case studies. This study aims to understand how national oxygen strategies achieve impact at national, and subnational level, across country contexts, at what cost. The …
Monitoring of Antimicrobial Resistance Based on Metagenomics Analyses in Pneumonia Patients
Monitoring of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) based on metagenomics analyses in pneumonia patients is critical for optimizing clinical diagnosis and treatment and improving clinical prognosis. This study is designed to ask the following key questions: What is the microbiome maps of patients with severe pneumonia and mild pneumonia ? How many …
Lung Ultrasound for Guiding Antibiotic Use in Pediatric Pneumonia
Pneumonia is a major cause of illness and death in children, with an annual incidence of about 3.3 per 1,000 in those under five years old, many requiring hospitalization. The diagnosis is challenging due to the absence of a universally accepted gold standard, leading to variability in emergency settings. Current …
Hospital at Home for Elderly Acute Ill Patients
Many elderly patients with uncomplicated treatment courses are admitted unnecessarily, which is a burden for the patient and society. Studies show that Hospital at Home (HaH) treatment is an alternative to hospitalization. The patient's risk of delirium, infection and loss of function is reduced when the patient avoids the hospital …
PromotIng Optimal Treatment for Community-acquired PNeumonia in EmErgency Rooms
In North America, up to 5% of preschoolers develop community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) every year. Pneumonia is the second-leading reason for paediatric hospitalization in both Canada and the US; approximately 20% of children hospitalized with CAP may need intensive care, which can result in significant morbidity. Given this burden of disease, …
Study of Lung Proteins in Patients With Pneumonia
This study will examine the different types of proteins present in the lungs of patients with pneumonia to explore the causes of different types of the disease. Pneumonia is a condition that causes lung inflammation AND is often caused by an infection. It is usually diagnosed by lung x-rays and …
Randomised Evaluation of COVID-19 Therapy
RECOVERY is a randomised trial of treatments to prevent death in patients hospitalised with pneumonia. The treatments being investigated are: COVID-19: Lopinavir-Ritonavir, Hydroxychloroquine, Corticosteroids, Azithromycin, Colchicine, IV Immunoglobulin (children only), Convalescent plasma, Casirivimab+Imdevimab, Tocilizumab, Aspirin, Baricitinib, Empagliflozin, Sotrovimab, Molnupiravir, Paxlovid or Anakinra (children only) Influenza: Baloxavir marboxil, Oseltamivir, Corticosteroids (dexamethasone) …
Novel Tools to Improve Management of Paediatric Community-Acquired Pneumonia - ToolCAP
The ToolCAP study aims to see if using ultrasound to look at the lungs when children have symptoms of a lung infection will safely allow doctors to improve how they treat those infections. The study will also look at if it's possible to improve how doctors decide which children need …
Evaluation of a Multi-country Medical Oxygen Program
REAL-MOXY is a set of 5 mixed methods studies designed to understand how oxygen and pulse oximetry are used (or not used) at a facility level, to identify opportunities and barriers for strengthening oxygen systems for beneficiaries, users and managers.
Reducing Overuse of Antibiotics With Decision Support
Eliminating inappropriate antibiotic use in pediatric lower respiratory tract infections (LRTI) is the central focus of this research. LRTIs (pneumonia, bronchiolitis, and infection-related exacerbations of asthma) account for nearly one-third of all emergency department (ED) visits and 40% of all infection-related hospitalizations in US children. LRTIs also account for more …
