This study is a controlled evaluation of the efficacy home visits designed to promote better child health and development for infants working class families. Each 115 mother-infant pairs meeting criteria was assigned one three comparable groups: group A received starting prenatally; B from six weeks post partum; C no visits. Home observations were completed by an independent evaluator at 6 weeks, 6, 12, 18 months age. Significant differences favoring over groups found each period. These...
It is estimated that nearly 100,000 children are born into poverty each year in Canada. During pregnancy, their mothers likely to face multiple stressful life events, including lone-mother and teenage pregnancies, unemployment, more crowded or polluted physical environments, far fewer resources deal with these exposures. The early child health consequences of pregnancy multiple, often set a newborn on life-long course disparities outcomes. Included greatly increased risks for preterm birth,...
Objective. To determine predictive factors for the presence of focal infiltrates in children with clinically suspected pneumonia a pediatric emergency department. Methods. Children (1–16 years) were studied prospectively. The presenting features compared between and without using χ2 analysis, t test, odds ratio 95% confidence intervals. A multivariate prediction rule was developed logistic regression. Results. total 570 studied. Risk (odds ratio; interval) included history fever (3.1;...
Sepsis represents the progressive underlying inflammatory pathway secondary to any infectious illness, and ultimately is responsible for most disease-related deaths. Addressing issues related sepsis has been recognized as an important step towards reducing morbidity mortality in developing countries, where majority of 7.5 million annual deaths children under 5 years age are considered be sepsis. However, despite its prevalence, largely neglected. Application definitions created use...
To derive a model of paediatric postdischarge mortality following acute infectious illness.
Sepsis is dysregulated systemic inflammatory response which can lead to tissue damage, organ failure, and death. With an estimated 30 million cases per year, it a global public health concern. Severe infections leading sepsis account for more than half of all under five deaths around one quarter neonatal annually. Most these occur in low middle income countries could be averted by rapid assessment appropriate treatment. Evidence suggests that service provision quality care pertaining...
To describe the extent of faecal pollution and point use water treatment strategy during after 2004 flood in Dhaka.A total 300 samples were collected from 20 different drinking sources Kamalapur, Dhaka city August to January 2005. The level contamination was estimated using measurements indicator bacteria (total coliforms, coliforms streptococci) isolation Vibrio cholerae carried out following standard procedures. Total dissolved solids, oxygen, hardness, chloride pH also monitored. efficacy...
Zinc treatment of childhood diarrhea has the potential to save 400,000 under-five lives per year in lesser developed countries. In 2004 World Health Organization (WHO)/UNICEF revised their clinical management guidelines include zinc. The aim this study was monitor impact first national campaign scale up zinc Bangladesh.
Oral zinc is a proven effective treatment for diarrheal illness, and long-term monitoring key to evaluating the success of efforts scale up treatment. We examine coverage illness in Bangladesh since conclusion Scaling Up Zinc Young Children (SUZY) project 2008 provide an overview other countries' scale-up programs compare effectiveness SUZY. used data from Demographic Health Surveys 2005-2022 proportion children under five receiving evaluate disparities by urbanicity wealth quintile....
Background Monitoring for disparities in health and services received based upon gender, income, geography should continue as renewed efforts to reduce under-five mortality are made response millennium development goal #4. The purpose of this survey was provide a nationally representative description current childhood diarrhoea management practices Bangladesh.
Cholera is considered as a model for climate-related infectious diseases. In Bangladesh, cholera epidemics occur during summer and winter seasons, but it not known how climate variability influences the seasonality of cholera. Therefore, pattern events was studied in relation to variation local variables Matlab, Bangladesh. Classification regression tree (CART) principal component analysis (PCA) were used study dependency monthly total cases. An average temperature <23.25 degrees C...

OBJECTIVE: The authors studied the clinical outcomes of suicidal adolescents who were treated within a rapid-response outpatient model in setting which ten-day wait was usually required before treatment could be started, leaving hospitalization as only immediately available alternative. METHODS: A total 286 aged 12 to 17 years came emergency department pediatric hospital assigned receive follow-up (the experimental group) or control group. Demographic and data obtained at baseline, two six...
In 2003, the International Centre for Diarrhoeal Disease Research, Bangladesh (ICDDR,B), in partnership with Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MOHFW) private sector embarked on a national exercise to scale up zinc treatment childhood diarrhoea as an adjunct oral rehydration solution (ORS). Private participation included associations representing licensed unlicensed health care providers, local pharmaceutical laboratory, marketing agency technology transfer from European patent holder...
Objectives: Acute infectious diseases are the most common cause of under-5 mortality. However, hospital burden nonneonatal pediatric sepsis has not previously been described in resource poor setting. The objective this study was to determine prevalence among children 6 months 5 years old admitted with proven or suspected infection and evaluate presence as a predictive tool for mortality during admission. Design: In prospective cohort study, we used International Consensus Conference...
