30 day in-hospital patient mortality after ICU discharge and associated factors : a retrospective cohort study in selected tertiary hospitals in Kampala
Nantongo, Betty
Background: Intensive care medicine is rapidly growing because critical illness is a major component of the global burden of disease especially in LMICs. We retrospectively evaluated the 30 day In-hospital patient mortality after ICU discharge and associated factors. Methods: We conducted a retrospective multicentre Cohort study on all patients that were discharged alive from the ICU at three tertiary hospitals in Kampala- Uganda, patient records discharged between January 2018 to December 2019 were reviewed during their hospital stay to fill the data extraction tool and followed up. In-hospital mortality after ICU discharge as primary outcome. Results: In total 711 patients were included with mean age of 42 years and 56.4% were male. A total of 106/711 patients died after ICU discharge giving a mortality of 14.9% (95% CI: 12.4-17.7). Most (86/711) patients died within the first 20 days with a 0.802 survival probability and were mostly above 40 years. The median number of hospital stay after ICU discharge 7 days (IQR: 5-11). Multivariate analysis identified presence of comorbidities, Respiratory disorder at ICU admission and GIT disorder at ICU admission and inotropic/vasopressor support to be associated with patient mortality after ICU discharge while Tracheostomy placement was found to be protective. Conclusion: The 30-day in hospital patient mortality rate after ICU discharge was high compared to that in high income countries. Most in-hospital patient deaths after ICU discharge occurred during the first 20 days. A prospective study is needed to further explore In-hospital patient mortality after ICU discharge and associated factors.

A 3d basin modelling approach to the assessment of hydrocarbon potential of Lake Edward basin, western Uganda
Atwebembeire, Conscent
Lake Edward basin is a rift basin located in the extreme south of the Ugandan portion of the western arm of the East African Rift System (EARS), popularly known as the Albertine Graben. 3D basin modelling approach was applied to Lake Edward basin with the objective of gaining an understanding of its hydrocarbon potential. The approach utilized 2D Seismic data, well data,
geochemical data and well completion reports from Lake Edward basin. 2D seismic data were integrated with well log data to define stratigraphic framework of the basin, onto which heat flow and geochemical characterization was undertaken to establish the possible potential source rocks of the basin.
The integrated 3D basin modelling revealed the burial history, including the development of potential entrapment and source rock maturation. The major structures responsible for the hydrocarbon migration and entrapment in the field as interpreted are fault structures especially tilted faults blocks and normal faults. PetroMod software (version 2018.2) produced hydrocarbon
maturation and generation model of the Lake Edward basin.
The model shows that the source rock, Lower Ngaji Formation is currently at temperatures between 50oC-80oC. According to the model, the source rock, Lower Ngaji with typical characteristics of a mixture of Type II and III kerogen is immature with respect to petroleum generation.
The research has provided a better understanding of key controls on hydrocarbon potential of Lake Edward basin and has enhanced the understanding of the timing and extent of hydrocarbon generation in Lake Edward basin and so the petroleum exploration risk can be potentially reduced This is useful for the oil and gas industry in the country as the findings are helpful in setting the
next drilling phase of future exploration activities.
