Maternal & Child Survival Program: Intermittent Screening and Treatment in Pregnancy (ISTp) in Rwanda (2017)
Description
This was a prospective, cluster randomized, two-arm, , parallel group study, conducted between September 2016 and June 2018 to investigate whether screening for malaria with RDT and treating all pregnant women with a positive result using AL was protective against malaria compared to pregnant women receiving only symptomatic malaria case management as part of routine care. The facilities in each study arm were randomized to participate using a pair-matched design whereby matched pairs were created based on ANC client load and geography, and within each matched pair, one facility was randomized to the intervention and another to the routine care arm.
