Smart Triage: Pulse Oximetry Data - QI
Listed in Borealis
This data is a subset of the Smart Triage + QI: A digital triaging platform to improve quality of care for critically ill children study and contains pulse oximetry data in complement to the Smart Triage QI clinical dataset.
Description
Objective(s): This is a pre-post intervention study involving pediatric patients presenting to the study hospitals in seek of medical care for an acute illness. The purpose of this project was to implement Smart Triage + QI to improve the quality of care at four health care facilities in Uganda.
The primary objective of the program is to enable healthcare workers to recognize the most urgent children more rapidly and allocate existing resources more efficiently. The second objective is to use the proactive processes of QI to identify and examine opportunities for ongoing improvement to strengthen the health system. The study involved two phases: (I) Baseline Period, and (II) Intervention Period.

Phase II also involved a community sub-study at 1 site to identify key messaging for an appropriate methods for disseminating educational materials for VHTs and caregivers on Smart Triage. Data Description: Pulse oximetry values were collected using Masimo Inc. iSpO2 devices. The PLETH files are 32-bit raw infrared plethysmographic signal at 62.5Hz.
Ethics Declaration: This study was approved by the Makerere University Higher Degrees research and Ethics Committee (SPH-2021-41), the Uganda National Institute of Science and Technology (HS 1745ES).
