BackgroundAntimicrobial misuse is common in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs), this practice a driver of antibiotic resistance. We compared community-based access use practices across communities LMICs to identify contextually specific targets for interventions improve practices.MethodsWe did quantitative qualitative assessments six Africa (Mozambique, Ghana, South Africa) Asia (Bangladesh, Vietnam, Thailand) over 2·5-year study period (July 1, 2016–Dec 31, 2018). community...
Sepsis is a major contributor to neonatal mortality, particularly in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs). WHO advocates ampicillin-gentamicin as first-line therapy for the management of sepsis. In BARNARDS observational cohort study sepsis antimicrobial resistance LMICs, common pathogens were characterised via whole genome sequencing (WGS) profiles. this substudy BARNARDS, we aimed assess use efficacy empirical antibiotic therapies commonly used LMICs
Antibiotic resistance poses a great threat to global health, especially in low- and middle-income countries with high infectious disease burden limited resources. In spite of regulations, antibiotics are sold many settings as non-prescription medicines, resulting inappropriate use resistance.This study aimed investigate the current status access rural Bangladesh, by exploring perspectives sales practices antibiotic drug dispensers.We used mixed methods approach (qualitative quantitative). We...
The use of large quantities antimicrobial drugs for human health and agriculture is advancing the predominance drug resistant pathogens in environment. Antimicrobial resistance now a major public threat posing significant challenges achieving Sustainable Development Goals. In Bangladesh, where over one third population below poverty line, achievement safe effective antibiotic medication challenging.To explore factors practices around access antibiotics understanding rural communities...
This study investigates the association between intimate partner violence (IPV) against women and its impact on child morbidity in south Asian region.The analysis uses logistic regression models with cross sectional nationally representative data from three countries - Bangladesh, India Nepal. The have been pooled 'Demographic Health Surveys' (DHS) of Nepal 'National Family Survey' (NFHS) India.The revealed that after controlling for potential confounders, children mothers experiencing...
Abstract Background The radical cure of Plasmodium vivax requires treatment with an 8-aminoquinoline drug, such as primaquine and tafenoquine, to eradicate liver hypnozoite stages, which can reactivate cause relapsing infections. Safe regimens require prior screening patients for glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency avoid potential life-threatening drug induced haemolysis. Testing is rarely available in malaria endemic countries, but will be needed support routine use cure....
Ensuring adherence to antimalarial treatment is crucial for achieving a radical cure and elimination of malaria, especially in hard-to-reach areas. We conducted this study assess the current scenario drug four endemic sub-districts Bangladesh. Among 110 enrolled participants, 70% were mono-infected with Plasmodium falciparum remaining 30% P. vivax. The overall frequency was 92.7% (95% CI: 83.0–96.3%). A total eight participants found be nonadherent all them from Bandarban. Level nonadherence...
Bangladesh has achieved significant progress towards malaria elimination, although health service delivery for remains challenging in remote forested areas such as the Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT). The aim of this study was to investigate perceptions and its treatment among local population inform contextualized strategies rolling out radical cure P. vivax Bangladesh. comprised two sequential strands whereby preliminary results a qualitative strand informed development structured survey...
Within a method of cross-sectional survey that adopts following as key variables i.e., demographic, socio-economic and health-care factors, thisstudy aimed to understand early childhood mortality rate probable reasons in Bangladesh. In order have rationality logistic regression multivariate statistical technique is used figure out the factors are responsible for mortality. The women who were married range ageing 10-49 asked provide complete history about their giving birth reference period 5...
Since the irrational administration of drugs in diarrhea cases is a serious problem, prescribing survey was made among 10 government health facilities (GHF) and private dispensaries (PD) Dhaka, Tangail, Serajgong districts Bangladesh. Using standard indicators on prescribing, patient care, drug supply developed by International Network for Rational Use Drugs, 12 prescriptions written children under 5 years old with acute were studied from each center (total = 120). It found that average...
Background: Body temperature is a measure of the body's ability to generate and get rid heat. For recording body several different types thermometers are available, such as mercury thermometers, digital thermometer, liquid crystal forehead infrared tympanic thermometer used. The accuracy device record grade uncertain. Objective: study was carried out recordings normal using compare with gold standard oral thermometer. Methodology: Simultaneous were made two devise in randomly enrolled 150...
