Abstract:

Background: In paediatrics, the limited documentation to guide medication, the lack of suitable dosage forms, and the continuous development in childhood present a scenario where safety of medication is a particular challenge. Aim: To explore reported adverse drug reactions (ADRs) and the challenges in prescribing and administering medicines in paediatrics, in order to identify and suggest areas needing international surveillance within medication safety and improvement in the clinical setting. Methods: Four exploratory studies were conducted. Worldwide reporting of suspected ADRs (individual

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to determine the indicators of customer satisfaction and service success of a newly established paediatric outreach nursing service. Referring agents and care recipients were both consumers of the paediatric outreach nursing service. Both groups of consumers were surveyed to determine their satisfaction with the service delivery. Two satisfaction survey tools were developed to measure customer satisfaction. The tools were piloted and refined prior to distributing them. Both tools had a series of closed-ended questions and 3 open-ended questions. Eight service indi

Abstract:

Background. There is an increasing trend in the use of long-term oral anticoagulation therapy in children. Monitoring the international normalised ratio (INR) is an integral part in management of these patients, but standard laboratory testing of the INR presents challenges in this age group. Point-of-care INR monitors such as the Mission® PT/INR monitor provide advantages in efficiency and accessibility but have not been evaluated for accuracy in the South African paediatric setting. Objectives. This is a feasibility study with the aim to evaluate the accuracy of the Mission® PT/INR Monitor i

Abstract:

Background Neonatal infection is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in babies. The causative pathogens and their antibiotic susceptibility patterns should be monitored so that treatment regimens can be adjusted to maintain efficacy and avoid selection of resistant organisms. Objectives To compare the incidence of culture positive neonatal sepsis; and to describe the pathogens and antibiotic resistance profiles for significant organsims over a 15-year period in a tertiary nursery in Cape Town. Methods Retrospective blood culture data for 12 months were collected at three time p

Abstract:

Changing body position is commonly used in the management of individuals with respiratory diseases and those receiving mechanical ventilation, in order to optimise ventilation and oxygenation. In acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), prone positioning is reported to improve oxygenation by recruiting collapsed dorsal lung regions, although this has not been confirmed in children. Ventilation distribution is well established in adults as being gravity dependent. Clinical practice in the paediatric population has been guided by the notion that all children, irrespective of the presence or a

Abstract:

Background: Lung disease is a common complication of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection in children and adolescents. As antiretroviral programmes have strengthened and HIV diagnosed earlier, survival of perinatally HIV-infected children has improved. Therefore, an increasing number of perinatally HIV-infected children are surviving into adolescence, with development of chronic multisystem disease including chronic lung disease (CLD). However, there is limited information on the determinants, spectrum and progression of lung disease. Lung function testing, an objective, non-invasive,

Abstract:

Includes bibliographical references.<br>Hypoxic ischaemic encephalopathy (HIE) after birth is an important cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality, particularly in resource-limited regions. Therapeutic hypothermia initiated within the first 6 hours of life, in settings that can offer neonatal intensive care, is a therapy that can reduce death or severe disability in newborn infants with moderate or severe HIE. Therapeutic hypothermia has not been shown to be safe or effective in low-resource settings where neonatal intensive care is not available; however, there are situations such as in som

Abstract:

The outcome of high risk infants provides an important audit of neonatal care. This audit renders valuable information to clinicians, parents and health care planners. Available outcome data from the developing world are sparse and urgently needed. This work was compiled with three aims in mind: to provide data from Cape Town on outcome of high risk infants (including both infants of very low birthweight and infants who have survived hypoxic ischaemic encephalopathy); to evaluate selected early neurodevelopmental assessments of these infants; and to propose a protocol for their effective follo

Abstract:

We hypothesised that food allergies would be low in Xhosa patients, even those at increased risk of food allergy such as children with atopic dermatitis (AD). This study aimed to determine the prevalence of, patterns and risk factors for, IgE-mediated food allergy in South African children with moderate to severe AD. It is the first food allergy prevalence study in South Africa to utilise controlled food challenge

Objective: To document the demographics, the pattern of clinical and laboratory characteristics at the time of diagnoses for all the newly diagnosed diabetics younger than 14 years reviewed at the Diabetic clinic at the Red Cross War Memorial Children's Hospital (RCWMH) during 2005-2009. Method: A retrospective folder review was done of all the newly diagnosed diabetics younger than 14 years old at the age of diagnosis. 225 patients were included for analysis. Patients were grouped according to age into a young group (1 month to < 5 years old), a middle group (5years - < 9 years) and an older
