Background Dengue fever (DF) represents a significant health burden in Vietnam, which is forecast to worsen under climate change. The development of an early-warning system for DF has been selected as prioritised adaptation measure change Vietnam. Objective This study aimed develop accurate prediction model Vietnam using wide range meteorological factors inputs inform public responses outbreak prevention the context future Methods Convolutional neural network (CNN), Transformer, long...
Healthcare workers (HCWs) are at the frontline of COVID-19 control and prevention but also high-risk groups for infection. The low level knowledge negative attitudes toward among HCWs can lead to inappropriate responding, wrong diagnoses, poor practices prevention. This research aims examine knowledge, attitudes, regarding factors influencing in Daklak province, Vietnam.A cross-sectional study was conducted 963 working district health centers commune stations through an online...
The Global Climate Risk Index 2020 ranked Vietnam as the sixth country in world most affected by climate variability and extreme weather events over period 1999-2018. Sea level rise are projected to be more severe coming decades, which, without additional action, will increase number of people at risk climate-sensitive diseases, challenging health system. This article summaries results a vulnerability adaptation (V&A) assessment conducted evidences for development National Change Health...
Dengue fever/dengue hemorrhagic fever (DF/DHF) has been an important public health challenge in Viet Nam and worldwide. This study was implemented 2016-2017 using retrospective secondary data to explore associations between monthly DF/DHF cases climate variables during 2008 2015. There were 48 175 reported, the highest number of occurred November. significant correlations with mean evaporation ( r = 0.236, P < .05), relative humidity −0.358, total hours sunshine 0.389, .05). The results...
Purpose This paper aims to analyze the current responses applied in Vietnam Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic and link these measures priority actions highlighted Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction (SFDRR). From there, strengths, limitations recommendations on applying SFDRR build resilience future are discussed. Design/methodology/approach The authors synthesize literature response COVID-19 from January June 2020 compare four of including understanding risk, strengthening...
Objective The aim of the study is to assess effect high temperatures on hospitalization for all causes and heat-sensitive diseases among Vietnamese farmers. Methods Poisson generalized linear model distributed lag nonlinear were used investigate temperature-hospitalization association seven cause-specific disease groups. Results Every 1°C increase in daily mean temperature above threshold increased estimated relative risk (95% CI) all-cause by 1.022 (0.998–1.047) at country level, 1.047...
Objective: The aim of this study was to examine the prevalence heat-related illnesses (HRI) and their associated factors among rice farmers in Central Vietnam. Methods: A cross-sectional conducted using a sample 379 from August September 2021 Ha Tinh province on north-central coast structured questionnaire used collect demographic information, farming activities, heat exposure, health issues. Multivariable logistic regression identify with HRI. Results: At least one HRI symptom experienced...
Introduction. The Law on Tobacco Control and the Advertisement prohibit advertising of any tobacco product in Vietnam. promotion marketing are alsostrictly prohibited. However, violation adverting is still common Objectives. This article aims at describing exposure to among population aged 15+ years Vietnam based data from Global Adult Survey 2015 view community, identifying possible associations between other individual factors, discussing its public health implications. Method. A...
Abstract Viet Nam is among the countries most threatened by and vulnerable to climate change extreme weather events. However, research on temperature-morbidity relationship at national scale has been scarce. This study aimed assess impact of high temperatures risk hospital admissions for all causes heat-sensitive diseases across eight ecological regions in Vietnam. The utilized a longitudinal dataset that included hospitalization meteorological data from provinces representing A time series...
The Mekong Delta Region of Vietnam faces increasing dengue risks driven by urbanization, globalization, and climate change. This study introduces a probabilistic forecasting model for predicting incidence outbreaks with one to three month lead times, integrating meteorological, sociodemographic, preventive, epidemiological data. Seventy-two models were evaluated, an ensemble combining top-performing spatiotemporal, supervised PCA, semi-mechanistic hhh4 frameworks was developed. Using data...
