Declarations
:
: Permission to carry out the study was obtained from the Makerere School of Medicine Research and Ethics Committee (SOMREC), approval reference number Mak-SOMREC-2022-289. We also sought permission from Uganda National Council of Science and Technology (UNCST), approval reference number HS2143ES. Administrative clearance was obtained from the Mulago Hospital Ethics Committee, Nsambya Hospital Research Ethics Board and Nakasero Hospital Research Ethics Committee. Informed consent was obtained from each patient. If the patient could not consent at discharge, it was obtained from the next of kin. This was because some of the patients discharged were incapacitated with reduced level of Glasgow coma scale or consciousness hence impeding their participation in the consenting process. The study team observed the COVID-19 standard operating procedures while conducting this study.
