Diagnostic accuracy of point‐of‐care ultrasound compared to standard‐of‐care methods for endotracheal tube placement in neonates

Shabina Ariff, Khushboo Q. Ali, Mark O. Tessaro, Uzair Ansari, more

Pediatric Pulmonology > 57 > 7 > 1744 - 1750

Introduction Point‐of‐care ultrasound (POCUS) is a valuable tool to determine endotracheal tube (ETT) placement; however, few studies have compared it with standard confirmation methods. We evaluated the diagnostic accuracy of POCUS and time‐to‐interpretation for correct identification of tracheal versus esophageal intubations compared to a composite of standard‐of‐care methods in neonates. Methods...

RL Goldenberg, S Saleem, SS Goudar, RM Silver, more

BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics & Gynaecology > 128 > 11 > 1762 - 1773

Objective Stillbirths occur 10–20 times more frequently in low‐income settings compared with high‐income settings. We created a methodology to define the proportion of stillbirths that are potentially preventable in low‐income settings and applied it to stillbirths in sites in India and Pakistan. Design Prospective observational study. Setting Three maternity hospitals in Davangere, India and...

A novel training simulator for portable ultrasound identification of incorrect newborn endotracheal tube placement – observational diagnostic accuracy study protocol

Hasan S. Merali, Mark O. Tessaro, Khushboo Q. Ali, Shaun K. Morris, more

BMC Pediatrics > 2019 > 19 > 1 > 1-11

Background Endotracheal tube (ETT) placement is a critical procedure for newborns that are unable to breathe. Inadvertent esophageal intubation can lead to oxygen deprivation and consequent permanent neurological impairment. Current standard-of-care methods to confirm ETT placement in neonates (auscultation, colorimetric capnography, and chest x-ray) are time consuming or unreliable, especially in...

Causes and incidence of community-acquired serious infections among young children in south Asia (ANISA): an observational cohort study

Samir K Saha, Stephanie J Schrag, Shams El Arifeen, Luke C Mullany, more

The Lancet > 2018 > 392 > 10142 > 145-159

More than 500 000 neonatal deaths per year result from possible serious bacterial infections (pSBIs), but the causes are largely unknown. We investigated the incidence of community-acquired infections caused by specific organisms among neonates in south Asia. From 2011 to 2014, we identified babies through population-based pregnancy surveillance at five sites in Bangladesh, India, and Pakistan...

Determinants of infant and young child feeding practices by mothers in two rural districts of Sindh, Pakistan: a cross-sectional survey

Gul Nawaz Khan, Shabina Ariff, Ubaidullah Khan, Atif Habib, more

International Breastfeeding Journal > 2017 > 12 > 1 > 1-8

Background Infant and young child feeding (IYCF) practices during the first two years of life are important for the growth and development of a child. The aim of this study was to assess IYCF practices and its associated factors in two rural districts of Pakistan. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted in two rural districts of Sindh province, Pakistan as part of a stunting prevention project...

Effect of provision of home-based curative health services by public sector health-care providers on neonatal survival: a community-based cluster-randomised trial in rural Pakistan

Sajid Soofi, Simon Cousens, Ali Turab, Yaqub Wasan, more

The Lancet Global Health > 2017 > 5 > 8 > e796-e806

Although the effectiveness of community mobilisation and promotive care delivered by community health workers in reducing perinatal and neonatal mortality is well established, evidence in support of home-based neonatal resuscitation and infection management is mixed. We assessed the effectiveness of adding training in neonatal bag and mask resuscitation and oral antibiotic therapy for suspected neonatal...

Prevalence and associated factors of malnutrition among children under-five years in Sindh, Pakistan: a cross-sectional study

Gul Nawaz Khan, Ali Turab, Mohammad Imran Khan, Arjumand Rizvi, more

BMC Nutrition > 2016 > 2 > 1 > 1-7

Background Globally, malnutrition accounts for at least half of all childhood deaths. Managing malnutrition in the community settings involves identifying malnutrition using a universally validated screening tool and implementing appropriate interventions according to the degree of malnutrition. The aim of this study was to estimate prevalence and associated factors that result in malnutrition among...

Impact of service provision platforms on maternal and newborn health in conflict areas and their acceptability in Pakistan: a systematic review

Zohra S. Lassi, Wafa Aftab, Shabina Ariff, Rohail Kumar, more

Conflict and Health > 2015 > 9 > 1 > 1-12

Various models and strategies have been implemented over the years in different parts of the world to improve maternal and newborn health (MNH) in conflict affected areas. These strategies are based on specific needs and acceptability of local communities. This paper has undertaken a systematic review of global and local (Pakistan) information from conflict areas on platforms of health service provision...

Diagnostic accuracy of WHO verbal autopsy tool for ascertaining causes of neonatal deaths in the urban setting of Pakistan: a hospital-based prospective study

Sajid Bashir Soofi, Shabina Ariff, Ubaidullah Khan, Ali Turab, more

BMC Pediatrics > 2015 > 15 > 1 > 1-9

Background Globally, clinical certification of the cause of neonatal death is not commonly available in developing countries. Under such circumstances it is imperative to use available WHO verbal autopsy tool to ascertain causes of death for strategic health planning in countries where resources are limited and the burden of neonatal death is high. The study explores the diagnostic accuracy of WHO...

Immunogenicity and safety of the Vi-CRM197 conjugate vaccine against typhoid fever in adults, children, and infants in south and southeast Asia: results from two randomised, observer-blind, age de-escalation, phase 2 trials

Zulfiqar A Bhutta, Maria Rosario Capeding, Ashish Bavdekar, Elisa Marchetti, more

The Lancet Infectious Diseases > 2014 > 14 > 2 > 119-129

Typhoid vaccination is a public health priority in developing countries where young children are greatly affected by typhoid fever. Because present vaccines are not recommended for children younger than 2 years, the Novartis Vaccines Institute for Global Health developed a conjugate vaccine (Vi-CRM₁₉₇) for infant immunisation. We aimed to assess the immunogenicity and safety of Vi-CRM₁₉₇ in participants...
