Background Ethiopia is one of the countries with highest burden neglected tropical diseases (NTDs), 16 20 recognised NTDs considered a public health problem, twelve which have been identified as priorities by Ethiopian Federal Ministry Health. However, until recently not received adequate attention at national and subnational levels in country. This study assessed feasibility, acceptability, cost-effectiveness an NTD intervention when integrated into primary care system Ethiopia. Methods was...
Abstract Background Although maintenance and prolonged use of oral corticosteroids (OCS) in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is not recommended, it remains a common practice.1–3 This study evaluated the concomitant overuse OCS among IBD patients Germany from 2017 to 2022. Methods We retrospectively analysed German claims data (January 2017–December 2022). Patients over 18 years age with continuous insurance at least two quarterly diagnoses Crohn’s (CD) and/or ulcerative colitis (UC) within...
Background: While evidence highlights the effectiveness of initiating disease-modifying therapy with a high-efficacy medication for multiple sclerosis (MS) patients poor prognostic factors, it remains unclear whether this approach has been adopted by broad range MS providers in Germany yet. Objective: To assess adoption early highly effective treatment (EHT) compared to treat-to-target option escalating efficacy over time based on real-world data. Design: Patient-level pharmacy dispensing...
Abstract Background Malaria remains a major global health problem often worsened by political instability and armed conflict. The purpose of the study was to explore community knowledge, attitudes practices on malaria prevention, understand burden health-seeking behaviours caregivers children under-five in conflict-affected communities South West Littoral Regions Cameroon. Methods A cross-sectional survey involving internally displaced persons (IDPS), host population, their conducted across...
Abstract Background Remaining Plasmodium falciparum cases in Cambodia are concentrated forested border areas and remote populations who hard to reach through passive case detection. A key approach these is active detection by mobile malaria workers (MMWs). However, this operationally challenging because of changing movement patterns the target population moving into less accessible areas. From January 2018 December 2020, a tailored package approaches was implemented three provinces...
Illusory face detection tasks can be used to study the neural correlates of top-down influences on perception. In a typical functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) design, subjects are presented with pure noise images, but told that half stimuli contain face. The illusory perception network is assessed by comparing blood oxygenation level dependent (BOLD) responses images in which has been detected against BOLD activity related no detected. present study, we highlight existence strong...
Mozambique addressed critical malaria surveillance system challenges by rolling out an integrated information storage (iMISS) at the district level in February 2021. The iMISS integrates data from existing systems across thematic program areas to improve availability and use. In seven districts, platform was extended health facilities (HFs), allowing HFs access use tablets submit monthly reports a central database, eliminating need for paper-based reporting districts. A structured evaluation...
Manual assessment of respiratory rate (RR) in children is unreliable, but remains the main method to diagnose pneumonia low-resource settings. While automated RR counters offer a potential solution, there currently no gold standard validate these diagnostic aids. A video-based reference tool proposed that allows users annotate breaths and distortions including movement periods, allowing exclusion from computation measures similar how new aids account for automatically. This study evaluated...
Cameroon is one of the countries with highest burden malaria. Since 2018, there has been an ongoing conflict in country, which reduced access to healthcare for populations affected regions, and little known about impact on malaria services. The objective this study was understand current situation regarding services inform design interventions remove barriers encourage use available
Improving the visibility and global coordination of malaria surveillance data quality improvement initiatives is required to optimize sharing best practices, tools, approaches promote efficient, effective, equitable distribution resources. With these aims in mind, Rollback Malaria’s Surveillance, Monitoring Evaluation Working Group established Surveillance Practice Data Quality Committee May 2021. As a priority initiative, committee conducted landscape analysis implementing partners’ (IPs’)...
Mozambique has implemented routine data quality assessments (DQAs) to improve accuracy of health facility (HF) malaria reporting since 2019. However, despite this being a resource-intensive exercise, the impact operational factors on DQAs not yet been systematically investigated. This analysis aimed provide insights into optimizing delivery DQAs. A two-level logistic regression model based 1,354 conducted across 195 HFs (16 districts, November 2019–December 2022) was used estimate relevant...

In urban settings in malaria-endemic countries, malaria incidence is not well characterized and assumed to be typically very low consisting largely of imported infections. such contexts, surveillance systems should adapt ensure that data are sufficient spatial temporal resolution inform appropriate programmatic interventions. The aim this research was 1) assess trends reported cases Maputo City, Mozambique, using an expanded case notification form 2) determine how can optimized characterize...
