BACKGROUND: Globally, sepsis remains one of the major causes morbidity and mortality in neonates, spite recent advances health care units. The burden problem occurs developing world while most evidence is derived from developed countries. objective this study was to evaluate epidemiology neonatal associated factors among neonates admitted Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU).METHODS: Hospital based prospective cross-sectional conducted April 2016 May 2017. Neonates with clinical were included...
Antimicrobial resistance is one of the major public health emergencies worldwide, and this trend didn't spare developing countries like Ethiopia. The objective study was to evaluate patterns bacterial isolates local antimicrobial susceptibility in neonatal sepsis. A hospital based observational conducted from April 2016 May 2017 Asella teaching referral (ATRH). total 303 neonates with clinical sepsis were included. Collected data entered into EPI-INFO version 3.5.1 for cleanup; then exported...
Abstract Background COVID-19 pandemic has a devastating impact on the economies and health care system of sub-Saharan Africa. Healthcare workers (HWs), main actors system, are at higher risk because their occupation. Serology-based estimates SARS-CoV-2 infection among HWs represent measure HWs’ exposure to virus could be used as guide prevalence in community valuable combating COVID-19. This information is currently lacking Ethiopia other African countries. study aimed develop an in-house...
Vaccination coverage worldwide fell from 86% in 2019 to 83% 2020. The purpose of this research was determine the level full immunization among children aged 12 23 months both urban and rural Southwest Ethiopia. A comparative cross-sectional study sampled 644 conducted community (296 areas 348 areas). Chi-square testing used whether there a significant difference between children, binary logistic regression identify predictors immunization. This included 635 caregivers 12–23 (292 343 areas),...
Despite the necessity of early recognition for an optimal outcome, sepsis often remains unrecognized. Available tools are rarely evaluated in low- and middle-income countries. In this study, we analyzed spectrum, treatment outcome at Ethiopian tertiary hospital recommended scores.Patients with infection ≥2 SIRS criteria were screened by SOFA scoring. From septic patients, socioeconomic clinical data as well blood cultures collected they followed until discharge or death; 28-day mortality was...
Introduction: Nowadays various biochemical markers, such as C-Reactive Protein (CRP), Procalcitonin and tumor necrosis factor alpha, have been proposed a potential marker for screening neonatal sepsis. In the current study, we tried to see diagnostic significance of White Blood Cell (WBC) count CRP in Methods: A prospective cross-sectional study was conducted from May 2016 April 2017 Asella Teaching Referral Hospital. Data were entered into EPI-INFO version 3.5.1 cleanup then exported SPSS...
Abstract Background Post-spinal shivering is a common complication after spinal anesthesia with high incidence among orthopedic patients. Untreated may predispose to exacerbation of wound pain, increased metabolic demand, oxygen consumption, and hemostatic dysfunction. Various studies have been done on the effectiveness preventing post-spinal using ketamine other drugs. However, little information better prophylactic agents in terms availability. Therefore, this study was intended compare...
Background In the year 2019, around 5 million children under age five died and most of deaths happened in developing countries. Though large numbers are reported such countries, limited availability data poses a substantial challenge on generating reliable estimates. Hence, this study aims to assess prevalence factors associated with under-five mortality southeastern Ethiopia. Methods A register based cross sectional was conducted from 1 st September 2014 July 2019 Asella teaching referral...

For many years, chest-X-ray (CXR) has been used as a diagnostic tool to complement clinical diagnosis of bacteriologically negative tuberculosis (TB) cases. Increased erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) was also laboratory surrogates augment the bacteriological test TB The objective this study evaluate performance CXR and ESR in comparison with geneXpert® for case notification among PLHIV resource-limited setting.An institution-based cross-sectional carried out from February 1, 2018-January...
Background: Childhood tuberculosis (TB) was under-prioritized, and only 15% of childhood TB cases are microbiologically confirmed. Hence, most diagnoses made on a clinical basis prone to over- or under-treatment. Xpert is rapid method for the diagnosis with high sensitivity. Objective: To assess use accurate diagnosis, timely initiation, rational anti-TB treatment among TB. Methods: In 2016, hospital facilitated installation machine. We reviewed data trends over four consecutive years; two...
Globally, anemia is a public health problem affecting children living in both developed and developing countries with bad consequences on children's cognitive, social, economic development.To assess the prevalence predictors of among aged 6-23 months residing at Dodota district, Southeast Ethiopia.A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted from January-July 2019, Ethiopia. Multistage, random, systematic sampling techniques were employed to recruit households participants. Trained...
Background: Highly active anti-retroviral therapy (HAART) has brought significant change in reducing morbidity and mortality among children living with HIV/AIDS. Decisions concerning initiation and/or shifting of antiretroviral (ART) are guided by monitoring the laboratory parameters plasma HIV RNA (viral load) CD4+ T cell count addition to patient’s over all clinical response. The demonstrations prognostic value CD4 was major importance development therapeutic strategies. Therefore,...
The World Health Organization recommends active case finding for tuberculosis (TB). Our study evaluated the targeted screening of household contacts (HHCs) patients with contagious pulmonary (PTB) in Central Ethiopia.The HHCs microbiologically confirmed PTB were screened TB symptoms and risk factors transmission. Symptomatic subjected to secondary investigation. Antimicrobial resistance was investigated among participants.Overall, 112 index included, 289 from 89 households screened....
