Acute chikungunya virus infection often leads to chronic post-infection arthritis, but investigation and evaluation of treatment is hampered by the subjectivity symptoms. This study was designed evaluate ultrasound scores serum inflammatory markers as objective measures for severity post-chikungunya arthritis. Patients with acute were enrolled in a prospective followed up at 3, 6 12 months. Assessments included both physical exam standardised examination 40 joints. Symptom patient reported...
<title>Abstract</title> Child maltreatment is a critical global concern with significant implications for child development and well-being. This study examines the relationship between household overcrowding violence against children, focusing on distinct effects of adult overcrowding. Using longitudinal data from Early Childhood Longitudinal Survey (ELPI) in Chile 2010 2012, analysis includes 11,462 child-caregiver pairs, children aged 6–60 months. Violence was measured through observed...
We examine effects of protein and energy intakes on height weight growth for children between 6 24 months old in Guatemala the Philippines. Using instrumental variables to control endogeneity estimating multiple specifications, we find that intake plays an important positive role 6-24 month period. Energy from other macronutrients, however, does not have a robust relation with these two anthropometric measures. Our estimates indicate contexts substantial child undernutrition, increases...
We investigate the impact of a program providing asset transfers and business training to low income individuals in Chile, asked whether larger transfer would magnify program's impact. randomly assigned participation large scale, publicly run micro-entrepreneurship evaluated its effects over 45 months. The improved practices, employment, labor income. In short run, self-employment increased by 14.8/25.2 percentage points for small/large transfer. long smaller were 9 more likely become wage...
Chile's labour force participation is low in comparison with Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Latin American countries on average, especially among females youths. This article estimates the main determinants of supply employment prime-age individuals youths using data from National Household Survey (CASEN) 1990, 1996 2003. Educational attainment found to be a powerful predictor employability both males females. The number young children household strong...
By using a synthetic cohort methodology, this paper contributes to the analysis of evolution female labour force participation in Chile over last forty years. We decompose rate terms age, year and effects. The results estimations show that age effect significantly explains rate. Cohort variables are also important, enabling us identify effects associated with both, number children level schooling group. In turn, contemporary relevant, particular cyclical component. All indicates changes may...
Background The risk of hospitalization or death after influenza infection is higher at the extremes age and in individuals with comorbidities. We estimated number hospitalizations characterized cumulative comorbidities on severe outcomes Mexico Brazil. Methods used national hospital discharge data from Brazil (SIH/SUS) 2010–2018 (SAEH) 2010–2017 to estimate admissions using ICD-10 codes, stratified by (0–4, 5–17, 18–49, 50–64, ≥65 years). Duration stay, admission intensive care unit (ICU),...
Abstract In countries where informal, insecure jobs are widespread, traditional labour market indicators – such as the unemployment rate, force participation rate and wages not necessarily most meaningful. The authors use a multidimensional employment quality index to analyse Brazilian over period 2002–11, across three dimensions: earnings, formality (measured by existence of an contract social security contributions) job tenure. results show significant increase in overall, especially years...
Abstract Self‐employment can be considered as either the result of a self‐selection process or reflection rigidities and skill mismatch in labour market both. We estimate double selection model where individuals queue for wage work instead being self‐employed first stage, followed by employers selecting from second. find statistical support model, implying that some are because they cannot work, while other self‐select to self‐employed. Individuals with higher education more often chosen...
Abstract We estimate the union effect on wages in C hile to be between 18 and 24 per cent. follow a two‐stage procedure that allows us correct endogeneity of status separate true from spurious dependence, by exploiting history individuals using panel data. find evidence comparative‐advantage sorting status, strong state dependence re‐distributional membership (i.e. wage gains unionization are larger for lower‐wage earners).
A retrospective evaluation of waiting times for elective procedures was conducted in a sample Mexican public hospitals from the following institutions: Institute Social Security (IMSS), and Services Civil Servants (ISSSTE) Ministry Health (MoH). Our aim to describe current identify opportunities redistribute service demand among institutions.We examined productivity seven surgical four diagnostic imaging procedures, selected on basis their relative frequency comparability with other national...
This paper examines inequality of opportunity for Chilean children starting from an early age. It uses a psychometric test designed to assess children's receptive vocabulary (PPVT), height, and weight as measures. We consider traditional circumstances such parental income educational level, but improve on the previous literature including mother's cognitive skills in our assessment. Our results indicate that do not exhibit significant differences height or either newborns at two four years...
The relationship between exogenous circumstances faced in early childhood (opportunities) and earnings has been increasingly studied the past decade. In this article we assess sensitivity of to different income measures. Typically empirical evidence is based on short‐term measures that suffer from variability measurement error. Using longitudinal data Chile, find when four‐ seven‐year are used, inequality opportunity significantly higher than obtained with yearly Monte Carlo simulations...
