User perspectives, challenges and opportunities in the implementation of protein-to-creatinine dipstick test for proteinuria detection in Ghana: a mixed methods study
Objective
To assess the appropriateness, acceptability and feasibility of implementing the Test-it PrCr Urinalysis Dipstick Test (LifeAssay Diagnostics, South Africa) in referral hospitals in Ghana.
Participants
96 healthcare professionals were trained on the protein-to-creatinine (PrCr) test, which was integrated into protocols alongside standard-of-care tests between November 2021 and April 2022. Test users completed questionnaires post training. Three focus group discussions (FGDs) and seven key informant interviews were conducted to evaluate test procedure comprehension, insights into training effectiveness, usability/user confidence, perceptions, attitudes towards the test and barriers and facilitators of use.
Results
High product usability, user confidence and satisfaction were reported. Staff perceived the test as easy to use and similar to current products. Misinterpretations of test results were less likely for strong results. Facilitators of use included effective trainings, sensitisation of the product and key stakeholder endorsement. Challenges impacting implementation feasibility included the short shelf life of test strips (3 months) after opening cannisters, the added complexity of the ratiometric result interpretation and the test’s lack of other parameters that are included in current products (eg, glucose, nitrate), limiting its broader clinical utility for antenatal care screening. All FGD participants agreed that the use of the PrCr test would not change current practices/protocols for dipstick use.
Conclusion
Although the Test-It PrCr test is easy to use and well accepted, key product attributes limit its implementation feasibility in this setting. It may be more appropriate for monitoring high-risk women in this context.

Comparing the efficacy of exertional oxygen delivery by continuous versus demand-based flow systems during 6-minute walk test in patients with fibrotic interstitial lung disease and COPD in a hospital setting (OXYCODE): a protocol for a randomised trial
Introduction
Fibrotic interstitial lung diseases (F-ILD) are severe and often progressive lung disorders that frequently lead to respiratory failure, with patients experiencing high symptom burdens, including severe dyspnoea. This is also evident in patients with severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Many patients will eventually require ambulatory oxygen therapy (AOT) due to exertional desaturation. Although AOT has shown benefits like increased walking distance and improved quality of life, adherence remains a challenge due to practical issues. AOT can be given by oxygen bottles that provide continuous oxygen flow or as portable concentrators; however, there is a lack of studies comparing the different methods and assessing patient preferences. Data from the present study help guide the selection of patients for different AOTs and provide information on patient preferences.
Methods and analysis
The study design is a single-centre, randomised, open-label cross-over exploratory comparative study to investigate the efficacy of two different oxygen delivery systems. Patients with COPD or F-ILD who, during a 6-minute walk test (6MWT), can walk at least 50 m and desaturate below 88% are eligible for inclusion in the study. The participants are randomised to perform the 6MWT with either oxygen bottles or portable concentrators first. The primary endpoint is the difference in the lowest oxygen saturation (SpO2) between the two systems. Secondary endpoints include, among others, the difference in percentage of time and number of minutes when SpO2 falls below 88%, mean and maximum pulse rate, and distance and time taken to recover during the 6MWT. Quality of life and patient preferences will be evaluated by scores from the COPD assessment test and the King’s Brief Interstitial Lung Disease health status questionnaire to help gain a better understanding of symptom impact during activity and limitations in daily life.
Ethics and dissemination
The study has been approved by the Central Denmark Region Committees on Health Research Ethics (1-10-72-115-24). The results of this trial will be submitted for publication in an international peer-reviewed journal.
