18. Assessment of health system resilience Protocol for a scoping review

Abstract

Many health systems have been severely strained by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic that has affected hudreds of millions of people and caused millions of deaths across the world. Only resilient health systems are at a position to ensure the well-being of beneficiaries even under stressful conditions. Good health is key to human happiness and well-being, and essential to sustainable development. Healthy populations can reach their full potential, produce and save more, generating wealth for themselves and contributing significantly to the progress and prosperity of their communities. Building health system resilience is thus crucial and should be considered in the efforts to strengthen health systems. Assessing the resilience of a health system may enable key stakeholders to identify weak points and take necessary actions. However, there is so far no common understanding of health system resilience and how it should be assessed. The general objective of this scoping review is to examine how health system resilience can be assessed. More specifically, we will (i) identify the various approaches used or proposed for assessing health system resilience, (ii) describe the conceptual basis supporting these approaches, (iii) summarise their strengths and limitations, and (iv) discuss challenges in the assessment of health system resilience.

20. Accuracy of C-reactive Protein and Procalcitonin for Diagnosing Bacterial Infections Among Subjects With Persistent Fever in the Tropics.

Abstract

Background In low-resource settings, inflammatory biomarkers can help identify patients with acute febrile illness who do not require antibiotics. Their use has not been studied in persistent fever (defined as fever lasting for ≥7 days at presentation). Methods C-reactive protein (CRP) and procalcitonin (PCT) levels were measured in stored serum samples of patients with persistent fever prospectively enrolled in Cambodia, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Nepal, and Sudan. Diagnostic accuracy was assessed for identifying all bacterial infections and the subcategory of severe infections judged to require immediate antibiotics. Results Among 1838 participants, CRP and PCT levels were determined in 1777 (96.7%) and 1711 (93.1%) samples, respectively, while white blood cell (WBC) count was available for 1762 (95.9%). Areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve for bacterial infections were higher for CRP (0.669) and WBC count (0.651) as compared with PCT (0.600; P <.001). Sensitivity for overall and severe bacterial infections was 76.3% (469/615) and 88.2% (194/220) for CRP >10 mg/L, 62.4% (380/609) and 76.8% (169/220) for PCT >0.1 µg/L, and 30.5% (184/604) and 43.7% (94/215) for WBC >11 000/µL, respectively. Initial CRP level was <10 mg/L in 45% of the participants who received antibiotics at first presentation. Conclusions In patients with persistent fever, CRP and PCT showed higher sensitivity for bacterial infections than WBC count, applying commonly used cutoffs for normal values. A normal CRP value excluded the vast majority of severe infections and could therefore assist in deciding whether to withhold empiric antibiotics after cautious clinical assessment.
