PURPOSE: Gastroschisis is associated with over 90% mortality in many sub-Saharan African countries. The introduction of the Gastroschisis Care Bundle at Muhimbili National Hospital (MNH) increased survival up to 60%. We aim to explain the impact of using implementation science methods to decentralize the care of babies with gastroschisis to other parts of Tanzania.
METHODS: We used a Step-Wedge Implementation Science design to scale up gastroschisis care through training of providers, dissemination and current revision of evidence-based care protocols, advocacy, and engagement with stakeholders. We used mixed methods for data collection. Anonymous patient and provider evaluation data were collected using a nationwide Gastroschisis Database via REDCap. We evaluated the implementation and effectiveness of the care bundle in different hospitals in Tanzania.
RESULTS: Decentralizing care nationally was feasible, acceptable, and adaptable. A total of nine trainings have been conducted training 420 providers (14 Master Trainers) reaching seven regions of Tanzania. The three advocacy national campaigns have ensured community reach and patient engagement. A countrywide gastroschisis database was developed to collect data on patients with gastroschisis, hosted locally at MNH with 332 patients' data entered in 1 year. The majority (90.2%) were treated using preformed silo bags with an overall survival of 28.5% in all centers. Late presentation and infection remain to be the main challenge.
CONCLUSION: To achieve quality and sustainable surgical care, there is a need to design, implement, evaluate, and continuously improve context-relevant strategies to achieve and sustain the survival of neonates with congenital anomalies. Decentralization enables clear connectedness of hospitals, bringing care closer to patients.
