Effects | Patient history | Physical examination | Laboratory tests | Diagnosis | Treatment | Patient/caregiver education |
Sample Size | N = 312 | N = 350 | N = 323 | N = 345 | N = 350 | N = 346 |
Arm A vs Arm B at time 1 | 1.24 (1.14-1.35) | 1.26 (1.12-1.41) | 1.02 (0.91-1.15) | 1.10 (0.95-1.28) | 1.08 (1.01-1.16) | 1.13 (1.02-1.25) |
Two additional patient history tasks were asking for presence of danger signs and measles status. Two additional physical systems examined were mouth and growth assessment
Estimates were adjusted for: sequence of clinical assessment, cadre of trainee, complexity of patient determined by number of diagnoses and age of patient less than one year, whether the health facility received support from the Health Care Improvement project or not, whether the facility received on-site intervention from Baylor International Pediatric AIDS Initiative or not, and the clinical faculty determined by cadre of faculty and whether s/he attended relevant assessment training session or not
