TL;DR: The data suggest that although 62% of children with severe ALRI are treated in hospitals, 81% of deaths happen outside hospitals, which suggests community-based management of severe disease could be an important complementary strategy to reduce pneumonia mortality and health inequities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Epidemiology and etiology of childhood pneumonia in 2010: estimates of incidence, severe morbidity, mortality, underlying risk factors and causative pathogens for 192 countries.
Igor Rudan,Katherine L. O'Brien,Harish Nair,Li Liu,Evropi Theodoratou,Shamim Qazi,Ivana Lukšić,Christa L Fischer Walker,Robert E. Black,Harry Campbell +9 more
TL;DR: Pneumonia continues to be the leading cause of both morbidity and mortality for young children beyond the neonatal period and requires ongoing strategies and progress to reduce the burden further, with evidence of a decreasing trend for all measures of the burden over the period 2000–2010.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quality of hospital care for seriously ill children in less-developed countries
Terry Nolan,Patria Angos,Antonio José Ledo Alves da Cunha,Lulu Muhe,Shamim Qazi,Eric A. F. Simões,Giorgio Tamburlini,Martin Weber,Nathaniel F. Pierce +8 more
TL;DR: Strengthening care for sick children referred to hospital should focus on achievable objectives with the greatest potential benefit for health outcome, and possible targets for improvement include initial triage, emergency care, assessment, inpatient treatment, and monitoring.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: A major measurement gap exists to monitor care of small and sick babies, yet signal functions could be tracked similarly to emergency obstetric care, and tools to be developed and actions to test, validate and institutionalise proposed coverage indicators are outlined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Estimates of possible severe bacterial infection in neonates in sub-Saharan Africa, south Asia, and Latin America for 2012: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Anna C. Seale,Anna C. Seale,Hannah Blencowe,Alexander Manu,Harish Nair,Harish Nair,Rajiv Bahl,Shamim Qazi,Anita K. M. Zaidi,James A. Berkley,James A. Berkley,Simon Cousens,Joy E Lawn,Joy E Lawn +13 more
TL;DR: The first estimates of neonatal pSBI, by sex and by region, for sub-Saharan Africa, south Asia, and Latin America are undertaken, finding the need-to-treat population for pSbi in these three regions is high.
