Digital Auscultation Study: Opportunity to Improve IMCI Guideline
The “Community use of digital auscultation to improve
diagnosis of childhood pneumonia in Sylhet, Bangladesh”
(DA Study) is a mixed method study involving children of
under 5 years who were identified as a case of possible
pneumonia. Projahnmo Research Foundation implemented
this study with technical support from the Johns Hopkins
University, USA and the University of Edinburgh, UK,
funded by the National Institute of Health Research using
Official Development Assistance (ODA) funding. Aim of
this study is to validate automated lung sounds
classification by digital auscultation compared to a trained
standardised paediatric panel’s classification to improve
the diagnostic accuracy of childhood pneumonia and
increase the specificity of IMCI guideline.
A national level stakeholder engagement meeting was held
on 20th January 2021 to discuss the importance of improving
the diagnosis of pneumonia by healthcare providers at the
first-level facility using a low-cost pediatric digital stethoscope,
and its future implication in LMICs including Bangladesh.
On the consequence of national level stakeholder
engagement workshop another meeting was held on 17th
February 2021 at Civil Surgeon Office, Sylhet, Bangladesh,
titled “Improving Childhood Pneumonia Diagnosis Using
Digital Auscultation: Stakeholder Meeting at District Level”
to disseminate methods and preliminary findings. Dr.
Muhammad Shariful Islam, Program Manager and other
team members of NNHP & IMCI of DGHS attended the
workshop.
