Background Despite significant advancements in HIV treatment, virological outcomes remain a critical issue. Ethiopia did not meet the 90:90:90 targets set for 2020, which aimed 90% of people on antiretroviral therapy to achieve viral suppression. As country shifts its focus toward 95:95:95 2030—seeking 95% suppression among those ART—it is crucial deepen our understanding and factors that influence it. Methods Virological was examined 410 HIV-positive individuals ART using EPHIA survey. The...
Abstract Despite significant progress made previously and the recognized health benefits of optimal feeding practices, ensuring a minimum acceptable diet in developing countries like Ethiopia remains formidable challenge. Additionally, there is scarcity data this area. Therefore, our study aims to identify predictors using powerful tool called complementary log‐log regression analysis. Thus, it contributes accelerating pathway ending child undernutrition thereby promoting health. A...
<title>Abstract</title> <bold>Introduction: -</bold> Colorectal cancer is a significant cause of mortality globally. Timely initiation treatment colorectal crucial, as delays have consistently shown to worsen outcomes and decrease overall survival rates. Despite this, the specific factors affecting late time among patients in Amhara region not been thoroughly investigated. <bold>Objective</bold>: - To assess its determinants with oncology centers multicentered cohort study, Ethiopia, 2024....
Background Being a mother for the first time is most significant event in woman's life. “Age at birth” refers to mother's age years when she gives birth her child. The of childbirth has physical, economic, and social implications. However, little known about this issue Ethiopia. Thus, study sought determine its predictors national level. Methods Data were extracted from 2019 Ethiopia Demographic Health Survey using STATA version 17 software. A total 8,885 weighted reproductive-age women...
Colorectal cancer is a significant cause of mortality globally, with several factors impacting patient outcomes, including access to healthcare, early detection, and treatment. Despite this, the specific affecting incidence death among colorectal patients in Amhara region have not been thoroughly investigated. Thus, this study seeks assess determinants Region oncology centers. The mean age participants was 48.6 years (SD ± 15). Median survival time 23.8 months. overall rate or density 2.9...
Surgical site infection (SSI) is one of the most common postoperative complications after appendectomy leading to recurrent surgery, prolonged hospital stay, and use antibiotics. The burden surgical varies from 1.2 20% across previously conducted studies. However, there are limited studies available on this problem in Ethiopia. Therefore, study aimed assess prevalence post-appendectomy among children Amhara region, A cross-sectional was employed. data extraction tool used collect 423 sampled...
Despite significant efforts, undernutrition remains a critical public health issue, particularly in developing countries like Ethiopia. Anthropometric failure, which indicates inadequate child growth and development, has severe consequences. Analyzing the spatial distribution determinants of anthropometric failure is crucial for evaluating improving nutritional programs. Understanding these patterns can enhance targeted resource allocation, thereby accelerating progress toward optimal...
Background Over the past three decades, Ethiopia has witnessed a dynamic shift in burden of HIV/AIDS, public health crisis that profoundly impacted communities nationwide. While significant strides have been made combating disease, evolving trends incidence, mortality, and disability reveal complexity progress. The insights drawn from Global Burden Disease Study (1990–2021) offer comprehensive perspective on successes ongoing challenges. Understanding these is critical for refining...
Abstract Background Despite the World Health Organization’s firm recommendation to start breastfeeding during first hour after delivery, nearly 54% of children in low- and middle-income countries are unable initiate within recommended time frame. Understanding initiation is essential for optimal child health maternal well-being. Methods This study was conducted using recent Ethiopian Demographic Survey (EDHS) data (2019) on a weighted sample 1982 mothers aged under 24 months. The extraction...
Severe community-acquired pneumonia presents a looming threat to older adults globally, often resulting in alarming mortality rates. Despite advancements treatment, challenges persist, exacerbated by factors like increasing comorbidity. As age rises, so does the risk of and prolonged recovery periods. Particularly low-income countries such as Ethiopia, burden severe is staggering. Yet, research on estimated time its determinants among this region remains insufficient, demanding urgent...
Abstract Background Antenatal care is one of the components maternal and child continuum care. Timely booking ANC during pregnancy utmost importance to guarantee best possible health outcomes for women children. Inappropriate timing first associated with poor outcomes, including perinatal death, stillbirth, early neonatal death. According WHO focused recommendation, every mother should start within 12 weeks gestational age. However, in developing countries, Ethiopia, many pregnant mothers...
Objectives To identify the predictors of late initiation breastfeeding practice in Ethiopia. Design Cross-sectional study design. Setting Participants A total 1982 weighted samples mothers with children aged under 24 months were included. Outcome measure Late practice. Results The prevalence is 26.4% (95 CI 24.4 to 28.3). Being a young mother (15–24 years) (adjusted odds ratio (AOR) =1.66; 95 1.06 2.62), no antenatal care (ANC) visit (AOR=1.45; 1.04 2.02), caesarean section (AOR=4.79; 3.19...
Background Despite prior progress and the proven benefits of optimal feeding practices, improving child dietary intake in developing countries like Ethiopia remains challenging. In Ethiopia, over 89% children fail to meet minimum acceptable diet. Understanding geographical disparity determinants diet can enhance promoting growth. Methods Spatial multiscale geographically weighted regression analysis was conducted among 1,427 sample aged 6–23 months. ArcGIS Pro SatScan version 9.6 were used...
Abstract Background Despite remarkable progress, HIV’s influence on global health remains firm, demanding continued attention. Understanding the effectiveness of third-line antiretroviral therapy in individuals who do not respond to second-line drugs is crucial for improving treatment strategies. The virological outcomes vary from study study, highlighting need robust estimates. Methods A comprehensive search databases including PubMed, MEDLINE, International Scientific Indexing, Web...
Background Although promising efforts have been made so far, HIV remains a public health concern. Women in Ethiopia are disproportionately affected by HIV, accounting for majority of new infections and AIDS-related deaths. However, the geospatial distribution among women is not well understood, making it challenging to develop geographically targeted measures. Besides, accelerate pathway decreasing prevalence plan specific interventions, understanding seropositivity its predictors plays...
Fertility rates are key indicators of population health and demographic change, influencing economic development, healthcare planning, social policies. Understanding subnational variation in fertility rate is important for effective geographical targeting policy prioritization.
