Abstract Increase of socio-environmental conflicts during the planning or execution of projects makes social impact assessment is increasingly necessary and objective in order to prevent potential social conflicts. In this paper, we present a study to select the best alternative methodology available and applicable to social impact assessment (SIA) on projects and programs. The selection was conducted using the methodology of analytic hierarchy process (AHP). In this study four alternative methods for social impact assessment were proposed: Delphi, AHP, FAHP and Grey clustering, which were ranked according to criteria: Quantification, robustness and standardization. To make the selection using AHP, we provided of a panel of four experts selected for this study. The results showed that the best method for social impact assessment is the Grey clustering complemented with Delphi method and ...

Background: Paediatric early warning systems (PEWS) aid in the early identification of clinical deterioration events in children admitted to hospital. We aimed to investigate the effect of PEWS implementation on mortality due to clinical deterioration in children with cancer in 32 resource-limited hospitals across Latin America. Methods: Proyecto Escala de Valoración de Alerta Temprana (Proyecto EVAT) is a quality improvement collaborative to implement PEWS in hospitals providing childhood cancer care. In this prospective, multicentre cohort study, centres joining Proyecto EVAT and completing PEWS implementation between April 1, 2017, and May 31, 2021, prospectively tracked clinical deterioration events and monthly inpatient-days in children admitted to hospital with cancer. De-identified registry data reported between April 17, 2017, and Nov 30, 2021, from all hospitals were included i...
