PURPOSE Cancer incidence is rising worldwide and estimated to double by 2040. A systematic method of allocating resources prioritizing cancer control efforts needed. We aimed develop test a simple metric quantify disparities in mortality. METHODS extracted country-specific mortality rates for 33 cancers from 185 countries using data Global Observatory (GLOBOCAN) 2020. Mortality-to-incidence ratios (MIRs) were calculated each every country. Delta MIRs (dMIRs) as the difference between...
Background: Perioperative data are essential to improve the safety of surgical care. However, outcome research (SOR) from low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) is disproportionately sparse. We aimed assess practices, barriers, facilitators, perceptions influencing collection use (SOD) in LMICs. Methods: An internet-based survey was developed disseminated stakeholders involved care patients The Performance Routine Information Systems Management framework used explore frequency relative...
Abstract As the COVID-19 pandemic unfolded in spring of 2020, governments around world began to implement policies mitigate and manage outbreak. Significant research efforts were deployed track analyse these real-time better inform response. While much policy analysis focused narrowly on social distancing measures designed slow spread disease, here, we present a dataset capturing breadth types implemented by jurisdictions globally across whole-of-government. COVID Analysis Mapping Policies...
Abstract Wilms tumor (WT) is the most common renal malignancy in children. Children with favorable histology WT achieve survival rates of over 90%. Twelve percent patients present metastatic disease, commonly to lungs. The presence a pleural effusion at time diagnosis may be noted on staging imaging; however, minimal data exist regarding significance and prognostic importance this finding. objectives our study are identify incidence effusions WT, determine potential impact oncologic...
Background . Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is a major cause of hepatitis in developing and industrialized countries worldwide. The modes HEV transmission countries, including the United States, remain largely unknown. This study aimed at evaluating association between seropositivity consumption self-grown foods States. Methods Cross-sectional data was extracted from 2009–2012 National Health Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). Data dietary interview serum IgG IgM enzyme immunoassay test results...
PURPOSE Cancer outcomes are disparate around the world. Low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) face higher cancer mortality rates than high-income (HICs), burden will only intensify as incidence is projected to rise 81% by 2040. Mortality-to-incidence ratios (MIR), calculated dividing rates, have been used study disparities in control. By calculating delta mortality-to-incidence (dMIR), difference between MIRs HICs LMICs, we can develop country-specific priority lists for control planning...

Background: Cancer incidence is rising worldwide and estimated to double by 2040. A systematic method of allocating resources prioritizing cancer control efforts needed. We aimed describe global disparities in care enumerate cancer- country-specific potentially avoidable mortality. Methods: extracted mortality rates for 33 types from 185 countries using GLOBOCAN 2020. Mortality-to-incidence ratios (MIRs) were calculated each every country. Delta MIRs (dMIRs) measuring the difference between...
Abstract Purpose Gastroschisis mortality is 75-100% in low-resource settings. In Rwanda, late deaths are often due to sepsis. We aimed understand the effect of antimicrobial use on survival. Methods conducted a retrospective review gastroschisis patients at tertiary hospital Kigali, Rwanda between January 2016—June 2019. Demographics, use, culture data, and outcome were abstracted. Descriptive univariate analyses assess factors associated with improved Results Among 92 patients, was...
