Do community level interventions work in the same way on incidence and longitudinal prevalence of diarrhoea among under five children in rural and urban slum settings? Insights fro... by Farhad Ali, Om Prakash Singh, Abhik Dutta, Mahendra Bhushan Upadhyay, Debashmita Bhaumik

“…However, we noticed that comparative change in incidence is more in rural area than that in urban slums but change in longitudinal prevalence is more in urban slums than that in rural areas. # Conclusions In the rural areas reducing diarrohea incidence seems apparently simpler than in urban slums but treatment of childhood diarrohea in rural areas seems more challenging. …”

Local clinical informatics investments are required for in silico biomarker generation across the globe: lessons learned from a secondary analysis of the PROP trial by Juliet Torres, Satya D. Malla, Valentina Silveira, Luis Mainero, Catherine Czeisler, José L. Díaz-Rossello, Alejandro Maccarrone, Alexandria Medoro, Pablo Sanchez, Fernanda Blasina, Jose J. Otero

“…However, over long-term predictions, models trained on PROP clinical trial patients showed significantly more error in the Uruguayan patients. # Conclusions Although these prediction models built upon PROP data were not generalizable to Uruguayan patients, our data suggest that prediction models using simple anthropomorphic measurements, if trained on local patients, may be able to provide value as a low-cost in silico biomarker. …”
