• W4322008081 abstract "Malaria is one of the most common causes of hospital admission and death in children under the age of five. The World Health Organization (WHO) has issued guidelines for the identification and treatment of severe malaria. Evidence has shown that adherence to standardized malaria treatment protocols improves outcomes. As a baseline assessment in preparation for a malaria treatment quality improvement project, this study aimed to determine adherence to the WHO severe malaria treatment guidelines in children at a Ugandan Regional Referral Hospital.A retrospective review was performed on a convenience sample of children discharged between June 2021 and March 2022 from the Mbale Regional Referral Hospital Paediatrics Ward with a diagnosis of severe malaria. Data were collected using a standardized case report form. Demographics, presenting symptoms, laboratory results, treatments, length of stay, and mortality were extracted. Comparison of treatments received to items recommended in the WHO guidelines was undertaken to determine adherence.147 patients were included. The median age was 5 years (IQR 2-7 years), and 55% were male. The most common features of severe malaria were haemoglobinuria (49%), haemoglobin < 5 mg/dL (34%), and altered mentation (24%). Median hospital length of stay was 3 days (IQR 2-4 days), and the mortality rate was 27% (n = 40). Overall adherence to all aspects of the WHO severe malaria guidelines was achieved in 3% (n = 4) of patients. The most common areas of deficiency were not testing to confirm malaria diagnosis (34%) and inadequate administration of artesunate (82%). Fewer than the three recommended doses of artesunate occurred in 22% of patients. Additionally, a delay in the administration of the second dose occurred in 67% (n = 78) and in the third dose in 77% (n = 71) of patients. While the recommended time between doses is 12 h, the median interval between dose one and dose two was 15 h (12-20) and the median interval from dose two to dose three was 17 h (14-25).Current adherence to severe malaria treatment guidelines in children at this Ugandan regional referral hospital is poor, but this study has identified target areas for improvement." @default.
