Filter by:Despite the availability of standard pneumonia management guidelines and multiple global efforts, pneumonia continues to be the leading killer of children under five, accounting to around 17% of the total under five deaths globally. In Pakistan, pneumonia contributes to 16% of under five mortality in the country having a well-defined yet poorly functional healthcare system. Although, there are standard set of guidelines for management of pneumonia patients however, the management practices of this illness are variable across the country. This could be attributed to non-availability of work ready graduates which in turn is due to variations of teaching methods across various institutions. Although the medical students across these institutions do get exposed to clinical cases in the final year however, this exposure is also variable. If this clinical experience is coupled with an adjunct capacity building mode using an online platform. there is a possibility that students could be trained in a better way.
This study evaluates the effects of a novel integrated clinical prediction tool on antibiotic prescription patterns of nurses for acute respiratory infections (ARIs). The intervention is an EHR-integrated risk calculator and order set to help guide appropriate, evidence-based antibiotic prescriptions for patients presenting with ARI symptoms.
The purpose of the study is to assess the number of severe, laboratory-confirmed influenza in children hospitalized to paediatric intensive care units. Furthermore, the proportion of these children from all children hospitalized to paediatric intensive care units with acute respiratory infections will be established.
