Children directly admitted after birth, previously enrolled, outside the hospital area, with language barriers, or whose parents refuse cannot join.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests 'Smart Discharges,' which involves predicting a child's risk of illness after leaving the hospital and providing extra care post-discharge to reduce mortality and improve health-seeking behavior among at-risk children.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this intervention focuses on discharge planning and follow-up rather than medication or medical procedures, traditional side effects are not applicable. However, there may be impacts on family routines or stress levels due to increased monitoring.
