Evaluating the impact on 90-day survival of post-discharge follow-up strategies delivered to adult patients hospitalized with sepsis across a research network in sub-Saharan Africa [Call for Life – Sepsis (C4L-Sepsis)]
REFNo: HS6882ES
To compare baseline demographic and clinical characteristics between participants who were randomized and those who did not meet randomization criteria (screen failures),To evaluate participant quality of life at 28- and 90-days post discharge period within two study arms.,To evaluate the proportion of participants within the two study arms who require re-admission to hospital during the post-discharge period of 90 days,To evaluate proportion of participants within the two study arms who return for scheduled post discharge follow-up visits ,To evaluate the efficacy on 28-day mortality among participants hospitalized with sepsis randomized to receive one of two post discharge follow-up strategies – EDI versus EDI plus IVR tool,To evaluate the efficacy on 90-day post-discharge mortality among adult participants hospitalized with sepsis randomized to receive one of two post discharge follow-up strategies – EDI versus EDI plus IVR tool,III. To train clinical officers about vitamin D and its application in managing the co-morbidity illnesses under study. This involves training and mentoring of clinical officers so as to acquire knowledge about vitamin D especially in relation to its clinical effects and treatment of malaria, diabetes, HTN, UTIs, and post covid-19 syndrome. This will enable build enough human capacity and willingness to carry out more research about vitamin D.,To develop prototypes of the efficacy doses of vitamin D for each co- morbidity group. From objective II, the efficacy doses (values) of vitamin D will be recorded. Vitamin D prototypes containing different formulations for each co-morbidity illness will be developed. These will be in form of; solutions, powder and inhalers,To establish the efficacy of vitamin D to the co-morbidity illnesses. This involves giving different doses of vitamin D to study participants in each co- morbidity group in addition to the illness’ conventional drugs while monitoring for change using the monitors of change tests/investigations to ascertain these therapeutic effects of Vitamin D.,To develop prototypes of the efficacy doses of vitamin D for each co-morbidity group. ,To explore vitamin D’s therapeutic efficacy to the co-morbidity diseases (malaria, HTN, diabetes, UTIs and post covid-19 syndrome) under study,III. To train clinical officers about vitamin D and its application in managing the co-morbidity illnesses under study. ,II. To develop prototypes of the efficacy doses of vitamin D for each co-morbidity group,I. To establish the efficacy of vitamin D to the co-morbidity illnesses,To explore vitamin D’s therapeutic efficacy to the co-morbidity diseases (malaria, HTN, diabetes, UTIs and post covid-19 syndrome) under study. ,III.

This will be achieved by clinical application of vitamin D, assessing and monitoring its effect in the treatment of the respective comorbidity illness as well as developing of different formulations of vitamin D that had effect in each co-morbidity group. ,
