We aimed to estimate excess Brazil its macroregions as well their trajectories the first 15 months epidemic. Methods This study evaluated from Mortality Information System Ministry Health, with being assessed between March 2020 May 2021 by quasi-Poisson generalized additive models adjusted for overdispersion....
This study provides estimates of hypertension prevalence, awareness, treatment, and control in Brazil assesses how well different modes primary care delivery achieve each these outcomes. Over one-third the Brazilian adult population had measured or prior diagnosis. Nearly 90% recent contact with health system, but only 65% were aware their condition. Only 62% regularly sought for hypertension, 92% received treatment. Hypertension was 33% overall, increased to 57% among those who all levels care.
BackgroundGlobal reports have described inequalities in coverage of reproductive, maternal, newborn, and child health (RMNCH) interventions, but little is known about how socioeconomic inequality intervention varies across multiple low-income middle-income countries (LMICs). We aimed to assess the association between wealth-related RMNCH interventions.MethodsIn this cross-sectional study, we identified publicly available Demographic Health Surveys Multiple Indicator Cluster from LMICs...
