Innovations in Data-Driven Approaches to Improve Sepsis Care for Children in Low-Resource Settings (presentations) ~ QI

Trawin, Jessica

In November 2022, the Centre for International Child Health (CICH) at BC Children's Hospital brought together leading young researchers at the <a href = "https://www.astmh.org/annual-meeting/2022e-reg">2022 American Society for Tropical Medicine and Hygiene Annual Meeting</a> to share their work developing leveraging frugal digital technology and data-driven vulnerability prediction to improve care across different points of a critically-ill child’s journey. Panelists described development and validation of risk prediction models, highlighting how such models can guide targeted, affordable interventions. Attendees had a chance to learn how practical and affordable digital technology equipped with clinical algorithms can support health workers with identifying, treating, and following-up high-risk children, improving outcomes within health facilities and at home, and the role of promising new host and pathogen biomarkers in enhancing the predictive capability of prognostic models.<br /> <br /><strong>Speakers: </strong><br /> <br />Arjun Chandna: Risk stratification of pediatric febrile illness to inform effective community management and earlier referral to higher-level care.<br /> <br />Samuel Akech: Smart Triage, a prediction-based facility quality improvement program for critically ill children.<br /> <br />Teresa Kortz: Point-of-care biomarkers for mortality risk stratification in pediatric severe febrile illness; using next-generation sequencing for etiology of severe febrile illness<br /> <br />Matthew Wiens: Smart Discharges, post-discharge interventions based on the risk of post-discharge mortality.<br />; <br /><strong>NOTE for restricted files:</strong> If you are not yet a CoLab member, please complete our <a href = "https://rc.bcchr.ca/redcap/surveys/?s=EDCYL7AC79">membership application survey</a> to gain access to restricted files within 2 business days. <br />Some files may remain restricted to CoLab members.
