Childhood mortality during and after acute illness: The CHAIN cohort study in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia
Despite reductions in child mortality globally, the risk of dying during and after acute illnesses is high in low- and middle-income countries. The Childhood Acute Illness & Nutrition (CHAIN) Network is a collaboration of nine research sites in six sub-Saharan African and South Asian countries. The CHAIN cohort study followed acutely ill children during and after hospitalization to identify modifiable pathways to improve survival among high-risk children in low- and middle-income country settings.

In this webinar, the CHAIN Network will:

Share clinician experiences treating children with acute illness and malnutrition
Present quantitative and qualitative findings from the CHAIN cohort study
Provide an overview of where CHAIN is now and next steps
Conclude with a panel discussion
