snakebite
As with much research based on chart reviews, the list of basic demographic details and some clinical data, especially in mild cases, is probably not complete. However, it is unlikely to influence the treatment decision linked to the study's findings.Anecdotally, we also became aware that some educational materials had filtered to control group hospitals due to possible transfers of the medical staff within the study district that might have taken place during the period of the study and that SLMA hotline services on advocacy for snakebite management might be utilized by the treating physicians at control group hospitals. Given the high rate of satisfactory care in both groups, it is unlikely that a clinically significant improvement in care could be demonstrated.
