Neonatal mortality and video assessment of resuscitation in four district hospitals in Pemba, Tanzania.

Background: We aimed to assess risk factors for neonatal mortality, quality of neonatal resuscitation (NR) on videos and identify potential areas for improvement.

Methods: This prospective cohort study included women in childbirth and their newborns at four district hospitals in Pemba, Tanzania. Videos were analysed for quality-of-care.

Risk factors of stillbirths in four district hospitals on Pemba Island, Tanzania: a prospective cohort study.

Long-Term Survival, Health, Social Functioning, and Education in Patients With an Enterovirus Central Nervous System Infection, Denmark, 1997-2016.

Background: The long-term clinical course of patients with an enterovirus central nervous system infection (ECI) is poorly understood.

Methods: We performed a nationwide population-based cohort study of all Danish patients with ECI diagnosed 1997-2016 (n = 1745) and a comparison cohort from the general population individually matched on date of birth and sex (n = 17 450). Outcomes were categorized into mortality and risk of cancer and likely measures of neurological sequelae: neuropsychiatric morbidities, educational landmarks, use of hospital services, employment, receipt of disability pension, income, number of sick leave days, and nursing home residency.

Global emergence of enterovirus D68: a systematic review.

Since its discovery in California in 1962, reports of enterovirus D68 have been infrequent. Before 2014, infections were confirmed in only 699 people worldwide. In August, 2014, two paediatric hospitals in the USA reported increases in the number of patients with severe respiratory illness, with an over-representation in children with asthma.
