Uncontrolled asthma negatively impacts patients, families, and the community. The level of symptom control among asthmatics in Ethiopia has not been well studied. We investigated risk factors for poor clinic patients seen largest public hospital Ethiopia. In this cross-sectional study, we studied all 182 consecutive subjects with a physician diagnosis who were chest at Tikur Anbessa Specialized Hospital between July December 2015. Of subjects, 68.1% female. mean age was 52 ± 12 years median...
Abstract Guillain–Barré syndrome (GBS) is an acute autoimmune polyneuropathy with substantial geographic variations in demography, antecedent events, clinical manifestations, electrophysiological sub-types, diagnostic findings, treatment modalities, and prognostic indicators. However, there limited contemporary data on GBS patient profiles factors from low-resource settings like Ethiopia. The objective of this study to investigate the profile, associated mortality, hospital outcomes among...
Data from much of Africa are still scarce on the clinical characteristics, outcomes treatment, and factors associated with disease severity mortality COVID-19.

Abstract Background Studies have indicated that hospitalized COVID-19 patients benefit from anticoagulation therapy in terms of survival; however, there is an ongoing controversy over the optimum anticoagulant dosage. This study aimed to compare clinical outcomes between who received prophylactic and those therapeutic anticoagulation. Methods A multi-center retrospective cohort was conducted determine impact dosage Ethiopia. The primary outcome measure in-hospital mortality, it assessed...
The COVID-19 pandemic has been linked to chronic pulmonary complications all over the world. Respiratory such as cough, dyspnea, increased respiratory rate, and oxygen support demand are prevalent in recovered patients. These problems long-term have a negative impact on one's quality of life. Patients must be evaluated for potential complications, risk factors found. Some reports around world explain that contribute development these complications. However, best our understanding, no...
Globally, non‐communicable diseases are increasing in people living with HIV. Pulmonary hypertension is a rare disease HIV reported prevalence of <1%.

Lung cancer is the most common cause of deaths worldwide, accounting for 1.8 million each year. Only 20% lung cases are reported to occur in low- and middle-income countries. An estimated 1.5% all Ethiopian cancers involved lung; however, no nationwide registry exists Ethiopia. Thus, accurate data on clinical history, histopathology, molecular characteristics, risk factors not available. The aim this study was describe clinical, radiologic, pathologic including available profiles, at Tikur...
