 A phase II/III, open-label, randomized clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Resuscitative Endovascular Balloon Occlusion of the Aorta (REBOA) in life-threatening postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) in reducing adverse maternal outcome compared to standard of care in Uganda.
REFNo: HS3240ES

To assess the time to insert the REBOA.,To assess if the proportion of participants with either maternal death and/or emergency hysterectomy is lower in the intervention arm when excluding ‘inevitable’ hysterectomies due to either an irreparable uterine rupture, a pathological placenta growing into the uterus (placenta accreta, increta or percreta) or a pathological uterus, such as a bicorne uterus or one with very large fibroids.,To assess if post-partum haemoglobin concentration is higher in in the intervention arm compared to the comparator arm,To assess if the number of blood transfusion units is lower in the intervention arm compared to the comparator arm.,To assess if the number of participants with acute kidney injury is lower in the intervention arm compared to the comparator arm,To assess if the proportion of participants with maternal deaths is lower in the intervention arm compared to the comparator arm.,To assess if the proportion of participants with emergency hysterectomy, is lower in the intervention arm compared to the comparator arm., To assess the safety of REBOA in a national referral hospital in a low-income country like Uganda.,To assess if the proportion of participants with either maternal death and/or emergency hysterectomy, can be decreased from 50 % in the comparator arm (using standard of care alone) to 30 % or less in the intervention arm (using REBOA). ,

Global Governance’s Influence on Public-sector Digital Transformation: A case study of the digital “Identity for Development” (ID4D) Initiatives and national digital identity ecosystems in Kenya & Uganda
REFNo: SS1963ES

More research investigating the global “digital transformation for development” (DX4D) policy in a contextual manner is needed. The research seeks an understanding of the progress, challenges, and opportunities surrounding public-sector digital transformation. Hence, in order to examine the evolution, this research attempts to explore and discuss the underlying global governance factors and dynamics that influence the policy formulation and implementation of public-sector digital transformations in the area of digital identity. The project seeks to gain insights and perspectives on the influential linkages between global governance, public administration, and public-sector digital transformation processes. Objectives The overall aim of the research is to understand how global governance and government actors can foster equitable and inclusive approaches to public sector digital transformation. The research objectives are detailed in the following: Draw insights through an analysis of the dynamics that structure such engagements and investigate how powerful countries and global governance actors influence PSDT. Understand how the PSDT and DPI linked to digital identity influence public administration reform processes, particularly the digital and dynamic capabilities of public organisations. Understand how the PSDT and DPI linked to digital identity influence public value and well-being.
