Saving young lives: Triage and management of sepsis in children using the point-of care Paediatric Rapid Sepsis Trigger (PRST) tool
REFNo: HS528ES
The purpose of this study is to develop and implement a digital trigger tool and electronic dashboard to guide frontline health workers in triaging children at facilities in LMICs with severe infection/suspected sepsis. This is with the goal of reducing time to diagnosis and treatment of critically ill children and ultimately reducing preventable child deaths from sepsis secondary to infectious disease.
Specifically, the research seeks to develop a prediction model and to perform clinical validation of a digital trigger tool to guide triage and treatment of children at health facilities in LMICs with severe infections/suspected sepsis.
