Replication Data for: The impact of rickets on growth and morbidity during recovery among children with complicated severe acute malnutrition in Kenya: A cohort study
No full textThis was seconday analysis of data from Daily co-trimoxazole prophylaxis to prevent mortality in children with complicated severe acute malnutrition: a multicentre, double-blind, randomized placebo-controlled trial ((ClinicalTrials.gov ID NCT00934492).
The aim of this secondary analysis was to investigate the associations of clinically diagnosed rickets at study enrolment with anthropometric recovery and life‐threatening events during 1 year following inpatient treatment for complicated SAM. The main outcomes were episodes of life‐threatening events and anthropometry (MUAC, weight, length/height, and head circumference) during the course of the primary trial of 12 months. Life‐threatening events were defined as all‐cause mortality or all hospital readmissions. Study participants data were collected at baseline and during one year follow-up.</p

Replication Data for: Inpatient and post-discharge mortality among children 5-12 years old in rural Kenya.
No full textThis is a replication dataset for the submitted manuscript "Inpatient and post-discharge mortality among children 5-12 years old in rural Kenya."
The data was used in a secondary analysis of children aged 5 to 12 years admitted at Kilifi County hospital from January 2007 to December 2016 and linked with Kilifi Health and Demographic Surveillance System (KHDSS) to obtain their vital status one year after hospital discharge. The objective of the study was to describe types of illness leading to admission to hospital and mortality during inpatient and one-year post-discharge periods among children admitted at Kilifi County Hospital, Kenya.
The data package contains the following files:
Data files
a) Over5years_multipleadmissions.dta
This file contains clinical, athropometric, CBC, blood & CSF culture at the time of hospital admission (at KCH) for children aged 5 to 12 years from 2007 to 2016.
b) over5years_khdss.dta
This file contains Vital status in the community following hospital dsicharge. To compute the one-year post-discharge mortality, this file has to be merged with KCH admissions
(Over5years_multipleadmissions.dta).
c) over5yearschemistry.dta
This file has the biochemistry variables that were not systematically collected at admission. This file is used to run a sub-analysis of the chemistry factors assicoated with both inpatient and post-dsicharge mortality.
Statistical analysis scripts included;
All the three files were generated using STATA/IC (version 15.1; StataCorp, College Station, TX, USA).
a) 5older years analysis_v1.do
This analysis script is used to generate the summary participants characteristics at admission, reasons for admission to hospital and inpatient mortality including factors associated with inpatient deaths.
b) post-discharge analysis_over5years.do
This analysis script runs the post-discharge analysis. It merges the
Over5years_multipleadmissions.dta with the over5years_khdss.dta, computes time under follow-up, post-discharge deaths, mortality rates and factors associated with post-discharge deaths.
Data dictionary
a) Dataset_codebook.csv
This data dictionary contain a list of the variables of data collected at admission and discharge and their description.
b) Discharge_diagnosis codes.csv
This file contain the list of codes for discharge diagnosis. </p

Phenotype is sustained during hospital readmissions following treatment for complicated severe malnutrition among Kenyan children: A retrospective cohort study. Maternal & child nutrition, 16(2), p.e12913.
The objective of the study was to test the association between complicated severe acute malnutrition (cSAM) phenotype at index admission and readmission following recovery.</p
Replication Data for: Inpatient and post-discharge mortality among children with anaemia and malaria parasitaemia in coastal Kenya: a cohort study
No full textThis is a replication dataset for the manuscript: "Inpatient and post-discharge mortality among children with anaemia and malaria parasitaemia in coastal Kenya: a cohort study."
This was a secondary analysis of Pediatric admissions at Kilifi County Hospital (KCH) from 2010 to 2019 linked to the Kilifi Health Demographic Surveillance System (KHDSS). The objective of the study was to describe anemia and malaria parasitaemia in under-fives at the time of hospital admission, and estimate their inpatient and one-year post-discharge mortality.</p
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
