- The study aimed to assess the success rate of trial of labor after two cesarean sections (TOLA2C) in a teaching hospital in the Democratic Republic of Congo from 2015 to 2020.
- Out of 532 patients, the TOLA2C success rate was 76.1%, with key factors for success including adequate birth spacing, previous vaginal deliveries, and cervical dilation upon arrival.
- The findings suggest that TOLA2C can be successful in low-resource settings with careful patient selection and skilled medical teams, showing low complication rates.
Background: Acute pneumonia remains a leading cause of death among children below 5 years of age in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DR Congo), despite introduction of the 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) in 2013.

Here we compare clinical characteristics, risk factors and nasopharyngeal occurrence of bacteria and viruses between children with severe and non-severe pneumonia.
