Perceived usefulness of trauma audit filters in urban India: a mixed-methods multicentre Delphi study comparing filters from the WHO and low and middle-income countries by Max Petzold, Lovenish Bains, Ulf Ekelund, Kapil Dev Soni, Nobhojit Roy, Martin Gerdin Wärnberg, Swati Gupta, Monty Khajanchi, Anurag Mishra, Jyoti Kamble, Helle Mølsted Alvesson, Johanna Berg, Shamita Chatterjee, Siddarth David, Rajdeep Singh, Prosanta Kumar Bhattacharjee, Pawanindra Lal, Vikas Malhotra, Ravi Meher, Lakshmeswar Nagaraj Mohan, Ritu Saxena, Prabhat Shrivastava, Sumit Sural

“…Three themes were identified in the content analysis relating to medical relevance, feasibility and specificity.Conclusions Audit filters from other LMICs were deemed highly useful in the urban India context. This may indicate that the transferability of defined trauma audit filters between similar contexts is high and that these can provide a starting point when implemented as part of trauma quality improvement programmes in low-resource settings.…”

A paradoxical population structure of var DBLα types in Africa. by Mun Hua Tan, Kathryn E Tiedje, Qian Feng, Qi Zhan, Mercedes Pascual, Heejung Shim, Yao-Ban Chan, Karen P Day

“…By applying a novel ups classification algorithm (cUps) to publicly-available DBLα sequence datasets, we categorised DBLα according to association with the three ups groups, thereby avoiding the need to sequence complete genes. Data from deep sequencing of DBLα types in a local population in northern Ghana surveyed seven times from 2012 to 2017 found variants with rare-to-moderate-to-extreme frequencies, and the common variants were temporally stable in this local endemic area. …”
