A standard hospital glove, inflated as a balloon with a face drawn on it, is a useful distraction for children with an acute injury. The face drawn should be drawn 'Jedward' style.
Conclusions High admissions rates from OPD reflect the challenges of serving a geographically large and rural population. In the rainy season, dengue fever flourishes and fear of missing this diagnosis in febrile children may influence clinician behaviour during this period. Admission rates were highest in July with a second peak in September. OPD attendances peaked later (October). We suggest that road flooding in August and September restricts travel, limiting total attendances. With the state hospital's increasing role as a receiving centre from smaller hospitals, further study is needed to characterise the burden of disease in children presenting to hospital and guide service development in Myanmar.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
