Impact of long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) treated with pyrethroid plus pyriproxyfen vs LLINs treated with pyrethroid plus piperonyl butoxide on malaria incidence in Uganda: a cluster-randomised trial
REFNo: HS1097ES
Primary Objective:
To evaluate the impact of LLINs treated with a pyrethroid insecticide plus pyriproxyfen (PPF LLINs), as compared to LLINs treated with a pyrethroid plus piperonyl butoxide (PBO LLINs), on malaria incidence in Uganda. We will test the hypothesis that malaria incidence will be lower in intervention clusters (randomised to receive PPF LLINs) than in control clusters (randomised to receive PBO LLINs).
Secondary Objectives:
To evaluate the impact of PPF LLINs vs PBO LLINs on parasite prevalence, anaemia, and vector density.
To estimate the cost-effectiveness of delivering PPF LLINs, as compared to PBO LLINs
To assess net durability, survivorship and use of PPF LLINs vs PBO LLINs.

The Influence of Comprehensive Follow-Up in Pediatric Sickle Cell Disease in an African Setting: a retrospective cohort Study
REFNo: HS636ES
General Objectives: To compare a set of sickle cell-related outcomes (mortality, stroke, blood transfusions, and hospitalizations) between children with SCA on a comprehensive follow up schedule under clinical trials setting and that of a cohort of children with SCA receiving routine care at a specialized sickle cell clinic.
Primary Objective: To compare sickle cell-related outcomes in the NOHARM children who were on the placebo arm to those of children of similar age group from the MHSCC who fulfilled the inclusion criteria for the NOHARM study at the time the study was recruiting patients but who were not enrolled.
Secondary Objectives: To assess the added effect of hydroxyurea therapy (in addition to comprehensive follow up schedule) on sickle cell-related outcomes. This shall be done by comparing sickle cell related outcomes in
1) NOHARM children randomized to hydroxyurea arm and that of the cohort of non-study MHSCC children with SCA over the time period of the NOHARM study (calendar years 2015-17).
2) NOHARM children on the MTD dose of hydroxyurea to that of the cohort of non-study MHSCC children with SCA over the time period of the MTD study (calendar years 2018-19).

Using new genomic approaches to investigate causes of maternal sepsis among women delivering in sub-Saharan Africa
REFNo: HS969ES
Primary objectives
1)To compare the pathogen profiles using routine microbiology (blood cultures, urinalysis, malaria tests, complete blood count) among women with fever at delivery and those without fever at KNRH
2)To compare the prevalence of Streptococcus agalactiae in placental samples using qPCR among women with fever at delivery and those without fever at KNRH
Secondary objectives
1)To compare the composition and diversity of the nasal and ano-vaginal microbiota among women with fever at delivery and those without fever at KNRH
2)To compare the composition and diversity of the nasal and ano-vaginal microbiota among newborns of women with fever at delivery and the newborns of those without fever at KNRH
3)To compare the single-cell RNA-seq transcriptome of the placentae of women with placental malaria and those without placental malaria at Kawempe National Referral Hospital (KNRH).
