Filter by:The overall aim of the study is to provide evidence that introducing soluble triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1 (sTREM-1) evaluation at triaging (first clinical assessment), in combination with IMCI-based guidelines (SoC), is a viable strategy to enhance rapid and accurate identification of febrile children at increased risk of life-threatening infections compared to IMCI-based strategies alone (SoC), and to demonstrate whether this results in enhanced decisions of admission/referral vs discharge, and enhanced overall health outcome of children with acute fever in sub-Saharan Africa.
To date, the underlying causes of community-acquired fever, particularly non-malarial fever, are insufficiently documented in Guinea. Moreover, diagnostic capacity is limited, leading to inadequate prescription of antibiotics and antimalarials, as well as substantial delay in outbreak recognition. Thus, the investigators undertook a prospective observational multi-centric cohort study of febrile patients presenting at the emergency and outpatient department of selected health centers, districts and regional hospitals in four ecologically distinct sentinel health districts in Guinea.
The purpose of this document is to validate the clinical accuracy of the TIMMY3 thermometry module, integrated into host device CVSM, according to ISO 80601-2-56:2017 + A1 2018.
A prospective basic science study for collection of training and testing data for development of Lifelight® Junior
The purpose of this clinical validation is to evaluate the the clinical bias, the limits of agreement, and the clinical repeatability of measuring oral temperature using a new thermometer, NC° Thermometer (Gen 3), compared to a reference clinical thermometer.
The study will evaluate the clinical bias and clinical repeatability of measuring body temperature using the Norbert Device (ND).
This is a prospective observational study to include participants with a spectrum of emerging or unknown pathogens with the objective to determine etiology and clinical characteristics of those diseases.
This project will conduct pragmatic operational research in rural communities served by approximately 12 health centres and 120 village malaria workers in Battambang/Pailin, western Cambodia. This study is funded by Global Fund/Regional Artemisinin Initiative (RAI3E). The grant reference number is QSE-M-UNOPS-MORU-20864-007-42
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of an information brochure on parent / legal guardians' knowledge of what to do about their child's febrile episode after a pediatric emergency department visit. Single-center randomized controlled trial.
This is a bi-centric prospective observational cohort study of adults and children presenting to the emergency room or outpatient department with community febrile illness (with or without signs of focalization) in 2 clinical sites (hospitals) in the DRC. The study will describe the epidemiology, clinical aspects, severity, management and outcome of febrile illnesses using data collected during routine diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. Each patient will be followed for 21 days. The follow-up will include - Daily visits for hospitalized patients, - Telephone calls (or study center visit or home visit) on days 7, 14 and 21 for outpatients and discharged patients. The study has been amended (EC UZA approval in June 2021) to perform a set of laboratory analyses in the partners institutions and at the ITM. We aim as a new primary objective at describing the profile of different biomarkers (C-reactive protein and white blood cell count with differentiation) in participants enrolled with febrile illness, and as secondary objectives to correlate them with outcome (assessed at day 21) and with several etiological diagnoses, especially malaria (as assessed by rapid diagnostic test and blood smear). The purpose is to investigate the potential diagnostic and prognostic value of these biomarkers which are increasingly available at the point-of-care.
