The Childhood Acute Illness and Nutrition (CHAIN) network nested case-cohort study: Plasma Proteomics analysis using SomaScan assay

This data was generated by the CHAIN cohort was primary aim was to identify the biological mechanisms underlying mortality among young children in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. Acutely ill children (n=3101) were admitted into the study at hospital admission. Children were then followed up for 6 months after hospital admission at days 45, 90 and 180. Blood was collected at hospital admission, discharge from hospital and follow-up time points. Plasma proteins were quantified from the blood collected at admission and discharge points.
