Study design and enrollment
snakebite
MAY
We conducted a cluster randomized control trial in the predominantly rural Kurunegala district of the North Western Province of Sri Lanka. The district has 44 primary hospitals with inpatient facilities that were eligible and randomized to the study. The primary hospitals included four larger base hospitals with subspecialty care and 40 smaller divisional hospitals with lower resources and no specialist care. Control hospitals had free access to guidelines, while intervention hospitals received a brief educational intervention. Following the completion of the educational intervention, snakebite admissions from all enrolled hospitals were collected for one year between May 25
