While the COVID-19 pandemic will increase mortality due to virus, it is also likely indirectly. In this study, we estimate additional maternal and under-5 child deaths resulting from potential disruption of health systems decreased access food.
Childhood diarrhea deaths have declined more than 80% from 1980 to 2015, in spite of an increase the number children low- and middle-income countries (LMIC). Possible drivers this remarkable accomplishment can guide further reduction half million annual child that still occur.We used Lives Saved Tool, which models effects on mortality due changes coverage preventive or therapeutic interventions risk factors, for 50 LMIC determine proximal reduction.Diarrhea treatment (oral rehydration...
Bangladesh had a large reduction in childhood deaths due to diarrhoeal disease recent decades. This paper explores the preventive, promotive, curative and contextual drivers that helped achieve this exemplary success.Primary secondary data collection approaches were used document trends of Diarrhoea Specific Mortality Rate (DSMR) between 1980 2015, understand what policies programmes played key roles, estimate contribution specific interventions implemented during period. Data acquisition...
Background: While the coronavirus pandemic will increase mortality due to COVID-19, indirect effects of likely from other diseases. In this study, we estimate additional maternal and under-five child deaths resulting weakened health systems reduced utilization routine services during pandemic.Methods: We modeled three scenarios in which coverage basic life-saving interventions is different extents (10% 50%) for durations (3, 6, 12 months), using assumptions based on emerging reports...
Tanzania has made great progress in reducing diarrhea mortality under- five children. We examined factors associated with the decline and projected impact of scaling up interventions or risk on deaths.We reviewed economic, health, diarrhea-related policies, reports programs implemented during 1980 to 2015. used Lives Saved Tool determine percentage reduction diarrhea-specific attributable changes coverage factors, including direct interventions, nutrition, water, sanitation hygiene (WASH)....
Child stunting is a critical global health issue. Guatemala has one of the world's highest levels despite sustained commitment to international nutrition policy best practices endorsed by Scaling Up Nutrition (SUN) movement. Our objective was use as case study project impact recently published national policy, Great Crusade, that consistent with SUN principles.We used Lives Saved Tool (LiST) scaling-up interventions proposed in Crusade and recommended SUN. outcomes were changes prevalence,...
OBJECTIVES American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) infants historically experienced a disproportionate burden of invasive Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) disease, especially early in life. PedvaxHIB vaccine is preferentially recommended for AI/AN because it elicits protective antibody levels postdose 1. Vaxelis, hexavalent that contains the same Hib conjugate as but at lower concentration, US children, 1 immunogenicity data are needed to inform whether preferential recommendation...
