| Description of data capture | The study was a prospective hospital-based observational cohort of consecutive patients presenting to the Kassala Teaching Hospital medical and paediatrics outpatient departments between 10th and 16th October 2018. Recruitment criteria were individuals of any age or sex with symptoms consistent with the KTH case definition for Chikungunya, namely history of fever or a measured fever of >37.5oC (tympanic), and at least three of the following clinical features: headache, anorexia, lethargy, aching muscles or joints, breathing difficulties, vomiting, diarrhoea, stomach pain, difficulty swallowing, and hiccups, or bleeding of any kind. Patients with a positive malaria RDT were enrolled if they fit the study syndrome in case of co-infection. Participants were enrolled at presentation and blood samples taken immediately. Epidemiological information, clinical symptoms at presentation and subsequent laboratory results were recorded on standardised pro-formas (Supporting Information 1). The follow-up component took place 70-120 days after enrolment (Jan-Feb 2019) depending on the availability of participants. Adults who responded to phone follow-up provided convalescent samples and completed the WHO-validated Routine Assessment of Patient Index Data 3 (RAPID3) disability and pain survey.30 Children were not asked to return due to common reluctance to allow blood-draw from healthy children, but outcome and duration of hospital stay were confirmed with parents by phone. All contactable participants were given their PCR test results. |
