Journal ArticleDOI
Prevention of malaria in pregnancy
Meghna Desai,Jenny Hill,Silke Fernandes,Patrick G T Walker,Christopher Pell,Julie Gutman,Kassoum Kayentao,Raquel González,Jayne Webster,Brian Greenwood,Michel Cot,Feiko O. ter Kuile +11 more
TL;DR: Modelling analysis suggests the importance of the prevention of malaria early in pregnancy and the need to protect pregnant women declines more slowly than the rate at which transmission declines, as coverage of IPTp and insecticide-treated nets continues to lag behind targets.
Journal ArticleDOI
Supporting surveillance capacity for antimicrobial resistance: Laboratory capacity strengthening for drug resistant infections in low and middle income countries.
Anna C. Seale,Anna C. Seale,C Hutchison,Silke Fernandes,Nicole Stoesser,Helen Kelly,Brett Lowe,Brett Lowe,Paul Turner,Kara Hanson,Clare I R Chandler,Catherine Goodman,Richard A. Stabler,J. Anthony G. Scott,J. Anthony G. Scott,J. Anthony G. Scott +15 more
TL;DR: This work aimed to map and compare existing models and surveillance systems for AMR, to examine what worked and what did not work, and to improve technical capacity specifically relating to AMR surveillance.
Journal ArticleDOI
The association of depression, anxiety, and stress with caring for a child with Congenital Zika Syndrome in Brazil; Results of a cross-sectional study.
Hannah Kuper,Maria Elisabeth Lopes Moreira,Thália Velho Barreto de Araújo,Sandra Valongueiro,Silke Fernandes,Márcia Pinto,Tereza Maciel Lyra,Tereza Maciel Lyra +7 more
TL;DR: Depression, anxiety and stress were very common among mothers of young children in Brazil, regardless of whether they were parenting a child with disabilities, and this association may be buffered through better social support.
Journal ArticleDOI
Patients' costs, socio-economic and health system aspects associated with malaria in pregnancy in an endemic area of Colombia.
Elisa Sicuri,Elisa Sicuri,Azucena Bardají,Sergi Sanz,Sergi Alonso,Sergi Alonso,Silke Fernandes,Kara Hanson,Myriam Arévalo-Herrera,Clara Menéndez,Clara Menéndez +10 more
TL;DR: Estimated costs are likely to represent only one of the constraints that women face when seeking treatment in an area characterized by armed conflict, displacement, and high vulnerability of indigenous women, the group at highest risk of malaria.
Journal ArticleDOI
Economic evaluation of an alternative drug to sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine as intermittent preventive treatment of malaria in pregnancy.
Elisa Sicuri,Silke Fernandes,Eusebio Macete,Raquel González,Ghyslain Mombo-Ngoma,Achille Massougbodgi,Salim Abdulla,August Kuwawenaruwa,Abraham Katana,Meghna Desai,Michel Cot,Michael Ramharter,Peter G. Kremsner,Laurence Slustker,John J. Aponte,Kara Hanson,Clara Menéndez +16 more
TL;DR: IPTp with an efficacious antimalarial was more cost-effective than IPTp-SP in HIV-negative women and the intervention remained cost- effective for a substantial (up to 21 times) increase in cost per tablet.
