Dexamethasone can reduce mortality in hospitalised COVID-19 patients needing oxygen and ventilation by 18% 36%, respectively. Here, we estimate the potential number of lives saved life years gained if this treatment were to be rolled out UK globally, as well cost-effectiveness implementing intervention. Assuming SARS-CoV-2 exposure levels 5% 15%, that, for UK, approximately 12,000 (4,250 - 27,000) could between July December 2020. that dexamethasone has a similar effect size settings where...
Abstract Childhood pneumonia affects an estimated 18% of under-five children in Bangladesh. Urban slum-dwellers face challenges healthcare-seeking. This study examined the factors influencing healthcare-seeking for childhood among under-two urban slums The influence children’s characteristics (age, sex, number ARI/pneumonia symptoms, and duration symptoms), maternal education, working status), household (number members, wealth quintile, sex heads, age heads). outcome variable was receiving...
Abstract Background Overweight and obesity of women is a growing concern all over the world. However, an understanding on socio-economic inequalities in overweight received little attention, especially context Bangladesh. Therefore, objective this study was to measure inequality among reproductive age Bangladesh as well explore effect various factors inequality. Methods This used data from Demographic Health Survey 2014 which nationally representative data. The concentration index applied...
In this study we compared two predictions of COVID-19 cases in the Kingdom Saudi Arabia (KSA) using pre-and post-relaxation lockdown period data to provide an insight regarding rational exit strategies. We also applied these projections understand economic costs versus health benefit measures.We analyzed open access on from March 6 January 16, 2021 KSA. To epidemic projection during pre- and post-lockdown period, used types modeling: SIR model, time series model. estimated benefits lockdown-...
Childhood undernutrition is a crucial public health problem globally. The objective of this study to measure the prevalence childhood and assess distinct role various factors on in Bangladesh.This utilized latest cross-sectional data from Bangladesh Demographic Health Survey 2014. A total 7256 children younger than 5 years old were analyzed. status was assessed by stunting (height-for-age), wasting (weight-for-height), underweight (weight-for-age), while bivariate multivariate analyses...
The extent of tobacco cultivation remains substantially high in Bangladesh, which is the 12th largest producer world. Using data from a household survey current, former, and never farmers, based on multi-stage stratified sampling design with mix purposive random households, this study estimated financial economic profitability per acre land used for cultivation. environmental effects water resources were using laboratory tests sample soil collected tobacco-cultivating non-tobacco cultivating...
We estimate the responsiveness of state and local property, income, sales tax revenues to gross domestic product (GDP) changes using U.S. Census data over period 1967–2012. Long-run short-run elasticities are estimated panel time series methods designed for dynamic heterogeneous panels (Mean Group (MG), Pooled Mean (PMG), Dynamic Fixed Effects (DFE) estimators). These enable us substantial heterogeneity in each major revenue source across states. For property systems, particular, we analyze...
The COVID-19 pandemic has been a major health concern in Bangladesh until very recently. Although the government employed various infection control strategies, more targeted Non-Pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs), including school closure, mask-wearing, hand washing, and social distancing have gained special attention. Despite significant long-term adverse effects of closures, authorities opted to keep schools closed curb spread infection. However, there is limited knowledge about impact...
ABSTRACT The impact of income on health expenditure has been studied extensively using national‐level data; however, studies estimating the household‐level elasticity expenditure, particularly by provider types, remain limited. Analysing nationally representative household survey data, we examine outpatient and inpatient out‐of‐pocket (OOP) expenses across healthcare providers various levels. We employed Heckman two‐step model OLS regression to estimate separately for services. Our findings...
The overall price elasticity of cigarette consumption in Bangladesh has been studied extensively. estimates by tiers are not available the existing literature.
Remittance is one of the popular issues in development economics especially for developing countries.This paper attempted at finding relationship between remittance flow and economic using time series data 1976-2007.The two modern econometric approaches -bound testing Autoregressive Distributed Lag Models or Unrestricted Error Correction Model Engle-Granger step procedures co-integration test -were executed this study finds that not significant contributing factor GDP per capita both short...
Using the World Bank data over period of 1960–2019, this study aims at estimating resiliency health expenditures against gross domestic product (GDP). Long-run and short-run elasticities are calculated using type panel time series methods that exclusively designed for dynamic heterogeneous panels: Mean Group, Pooled Dynamic Fixed Effects estimators. These permit better estimations elasticity with considerable heterogeneity across 177 countries included in study. Along a standard estimation,...
Background: The objective of the study is to evaluate effectiveness low-cost and scalable strategies in increasing COVID-19 vaccine take-up rates among unvaccinated adult population Bangladesh.Methods: A cluster randomized controlled trial was conducted four districts Bangladesh. 12,609 individuals from 685 rural villages aged 18 years above were screened. 7,299 (548) 2,445 (137) (villages) enrolled randomly allocated treatment control groups, respectively. Three interventions at village...
In this paper we examine stated preferences for income redistribution by survey respondents across many countries. We provide a theoretical basis explaining how citizens may desire incomeredistribution mechanisms. Those insights are then used to motivate estimates of six different empirical models respondent’s using the latest World Values Survey-Wave 7. test prospect upward mobility (POUM) hypothesis which holds that people below median, expecting their future be higher than current income,...
SUMMARY Analyses of carcinogenicity experiments involving occult (hidden) tumours are usually based on cause-of-death information or the results many interim sacrifices. A simple compartmental model is described that does not involve cause death. The method analysis requires only one sacrifice, in addition to usual terminal kill, ensure tumour incidence rates can be estimated. One advantage approach demonstrated glomerulosclerosis following exposure ionizing radiation. Although...

We analyze the spread of use-value assessment (UVA) programs applied to agricultural and rural land for property tax purposes across 50 states. Taxing such on basis its current use in agriculture rather than full market value can confer significant reductions owners land. Effects are often substantial near large urban areas. Using a time-to-event model, we find, as others have posited, that driving force behind UVA has been secular trend toward urbanization all also find models collective...
