Tools for the Integrated Management of Childhood Illness: Evaluation of Pulse Oximetry & Clinical Decision Support Algorithms in Primary Care - Pragmatic Cluster Randomised Controlled Trial, With Embedded Mixed Methods, Cost & Cost-effectiveness Studies in India and Tanzania
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Pulse oximetry and Clinical Decision Support Algorithm for Pneumonia and 6 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 167,517 participants across 27 sites.
Detailed Summary
By introducing pulse oximetry, with or without clinical decision support algorithms, to primary care facilities in India, Kenya, Senegal and Tanzania, the Tools for Integrated Management of Childhood Illness (TIMCI) project aims to contribute to reducing morbidity and mortality for sick children under-five while supporting the rational and efficient use of diagnostics and medicines by healthcare providers. The multi-country, multi-method evaluation aims to generate evidence on the health and quality of care impact, operational priorities, cost and cost-effectiveness of introducing these tools to facilitate national and international decision-making on scale-up.
