Summary

This study looks at whether a new practice guideline can help doctors in Zambia better manage patients with sudden, severe belly pain (acute abdomen). Researchers will adapt a guideline from high-income countries for use in Zambia and train healthcare workers. They will compare hospital stay lengths between a site using the guideline and one that does not. The goal is to improve care and reduce deaths from this condition.
