Biliary Atresia Screening in India-Strategies and Challenges in Implementation

© 2021. Dr. K C Chaudhuri Foundation..

OBJECTIVE: To assess the utilization of SCC implemented in southern India and the effect on SCC utilization of face-to-face verbal education versus video-based content delivery.

METHODS: The study included newborns with postnatal age of less than 2 wk at discharge. Mothers were administered SCCs and provided standardized verbal or video health education based on the time-period of enrollment. Home based monitoring of stool color and return of SCC on postnatal day 21 was advised. Telephone surveys were conducted to identify SCC use among families that did not return the SCC by post.

RESULTS: Of the 2254 newborns enrolled, 1130 were in the verbal-counseling group and 1124 in the video-counseling group. No newborns with pale stools and biliary atresia were identified. SCC return rates were 3.8% and 2.8%. Comparing the verbal and video-counseling groups, there were no differences in the conservative (81.8% vs. 81.5%) and optimistic estimates (97.1% vs. 97.3%) of SCC utilization rates. Mothers with better educational status had higher optimistic estimates of SCC utilization.

CONCLUSIONS: The use of a validated SCC in Tamil with standardized information delivery leads to good utilization rates in southern India, with video content delivery being as effective as face-to-face verbal content delivery. SCC return by post is not a feasible mode of identification of card use.

TRIAL REGISTRATION: The study is registered under Clinical Trials Registry - India (CTRI/2018/01/011285).
