Abstract It is important to understand and account for seasonal variation in food nutrient intakes when planning interventions combat micronutrient deficiencies resource-poor settings. The objective of the present study was quantify assess adequacy among young children their mothers during lean post-harvest (PH) seasons rural Burkina Faso. We quantified by 24-h recall a representative sample 480 aged 36–59 months two provinces Western calculated probability (PA) usual ten micronutrients an...
The period from conception to 24 months of age is a crucial window for nutrition interventions. Personalized maternal counseling may improve childbirth outcomes, growth, and health. We assessed the effectiveness facility-based personalized (from pregnancy 18 after birth) in improving child growth health rural Burkina Faso. conducted paired cluster randomized controlled trial district Faso with 12 primary centers (clusters). Healthcare providers intervention received patient-centered...
Abstract In this study, we investigated the causes of death and factors associated with mortality in a cohort patients receiving highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) Burkina Faso, an African country limited resources. This retrospective study included aged 15 years older who started HAART for first time between January 2003 December 2008 14 health districts. We used survival analyses, including Kaplan–Meier method, to examine potential predictors two Cox proportional hazard models...
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Prenatal lipid-based nutrient supplements (LNS) have been shown to improve birth anthropometry. However, little is known about the effects of such on infant health. We hypothesized that prenatal LNS compared with multiple micronutrient supplement for pregnant and lactating women would survival, growth, morbidity during infancy. METHODS: Infants’ weight, length, head, chest, mid-upper arm circumferences were measured monthly home visits from 12 months age in...
Background Food-based approaches such as biofortification are meant to sustainably address micronutrient deficiencies in poor settings. Knowing more about intakes and is a prerequisite designing evaluating interventions. Objective The objectives of the study were assess biological status dietary iron, zinc vitamin A among women children aged 36–59 months rural Burkina Faso relationships between intake better inform future food-based Design cross-sectional survey was carried out two provinces...
The incidence of cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) has increased in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso since 1996. A study was carried out from September to November 2000 determine the impact HIV on this outbreak. Of 74 CL patients, 10 were co-infected with HIV. percentage patients positive for slightly higher than Ouagadougou. However, showed that infection did not increase risk infection.
There is a variety of specialized nutritious foods available for use in programs targeting undernutrition, but evidence supporting the choice product limited. We compared cost-effectiveness 4 to prevent stunting and wasting children aged 6–23 mo Burkina Faso. Four geographic regions were randomly assigned 1 intervention arms: Corn-Soy Blend Plus (CSB+) programmed with separate fortified vegetable oil (the reference food), Corn-Soy-Whey (CSWB; new formulation) oil, SuperCereal (SC+),...
'Health Systems Recovery in the Context of COVID-19 and Protracted Conflict.'Many countries lacked rapid nimble data systems to track health service capacities respond COVID-19. They struggled assess monitor rapidly evolving disruptions, workforce capacities, products availability, community needs perspectives, mitigation responses maintain essential services.Building on established methodologies, World Health Organization developed a suite methods tools support fill gaps guide...
Repositioning nutrition is central to development. Childcare practices, which include feeding appear in the conceptual framework of malnutrition. The objective this study was analyze nutritional status young children relation practices. This cross-sectional, community-based conducted rural district Kongoussi (Burkina Faso). Three hundred ninety nine (95% expected 420 children: 30 clusters 14 children), 6-23 months age, were recruited by “probability proportionate-tosize” cluster sampling....
A trial in Burkina Faso compared the cost-effectiveness of 4 specialized nutritious foods (SNFs) used to prevent stunting and wasting children aged 6-23 mo.
A cross-sectional study was initiated in Burkina Faso's National Tuberculosis Programme to confirm successful treatment results within 3 months of completing and characterise longer-term outcomes 12-24 after completion. The sample (n = 278) included 91 patients who had completed 0-3 earlier ('short-term' sample) 187 ('long-term' sample). All sputum specimens from the short-term were confirmed as negative. In long-term sample, among 154 with available information, 13 (8%) died, 24 not traced,...
