Declarations
:
: Prospective surveillance (both inpatient and outpatient) focused on describing common childhood illness was instituted at the Kilifi site by Kenya Medical Research Institute (KEMRI) Center for Geographic Medicine Research Coast (CGMRC) from 1989. All Guardians are requested for consent to use the data of admitted children prospectively at the point of admission. This study utilized secondary anonymized data from the site and further individual consent to analyze the data was deemed not necessary. Importantly, all studies conducted via KEMRI adhere to internationally accepted norms including the Declaration of Helsinki. Given the retrospective nature of the study, waiver for specific consent to use the data was sought and granted by the ethical approval and review committee. The study was approved by Kenyatta National Hospital-University of Nairobi Ethical Review Committee (KNH-UON ERC), approval number P298/04/2022 .
