Epidemiology of pediatric severe malaria in the Kasese District of western Uganda
REFNo: HS5367ES
Study Objectives
The overarching goal of this proposed project is to describe the epidemiology of severe malaria among children in the Kasese District of western Uganda. Our scientific objective is to determine if the demographic, clinical, and laboratory characteristics of children admitted to a more urban level IV health center are different from our previous findings at a rural level III health center. To test this hypothesis, we propose to:
AIM 1: Describe the demographic characteristics of children admitted to SPHC with a diagnosis of malaria. We will conduct a prospective, observational study, enrolling children admitted to the IPD. Participating caregivers will complete a questionnaire documenting basic demographic factors as well as information about the household (e.g., location, LLIN access and use). We hypothesize that most children will be (i) <12 years of age, (ii) from areas within 20km of SPHC, and (iii) have previously sought care at lower-level facilities.
AIM 2: Document the clinical and laboratory characteristics of children admitted to SPHC with a diagnosis of malaria: We will elicit a history of illness from the caregiver and record relevant information including vital signs, results of laboratory testing (e.g., malaria RDT, hemoglobin, etc.), along with treatments administered during the hospitalization. We hypothesize that nearly all children will receive ≥24 hours of intravenous artesunate, but there may be substantial variation in dosing.
AIM 3: Estimate measures of severe malaria incidence and associated morbidity and mortality among children presenting to SPHC with malaria. We will record the results of laboratory testing for malaria in the OPD to determine the malaria positivity rate and incidence of SM (i.e., proportion with a positive RDT who are admitted). Among those who are admitted, we will document disposition (e.g., discharge, transfer, death) and complete follow up at 14, 30, 45, and 60 days post-discharge. We hypothesize that mortality will be greatest among children referred from lower-level facilities and those with delayed presentations
