To test the inverse equity hypothesis, which postulates that new health interventions are initially adopted by wealthy and thus increase inequalities-as population coverage increases, only poorest will lag behind all other groups.
Having a health worker with midwifery skills present at delivery is one of the key interventions to reduce maternal and newborn mortality. We sought estimate frequencies (a) skilled birth attendant coverage, (b) institutional delivery, (c) combination place type attendant, in LMICs. National surveys (DHS MICS) performed 80 LMICs since 2005 were analyzed these four categories care. Results stratified by wealth quintile based on asset indices, urban/rural residence. The also calculated for...
Resumo O objetivo deste artigo é apresentar os principais métodos de mensuração e monitoramento das desigualdades sociais em saúde ilustrar suas aplicações. Foram revisadas as medidas mais frequentemente empregadas na literatura. Dados cobertura qualidade do cuidado pré-natal no Brasil, provenientes da Pesquisa Nacional Demografia Saúde Criança Mulher (PNDS-2006) (PNS-2013), foram utilizados para exemplificar Medidas desigualdade absoluta relativa apresentadas, destacando-se sua...
Calcium phosphate fibers designed for reinforcement of bioabsorbable fracture fixation devices were evaluated their properties upon annealing. The composition these 54% PO4, 27% Ca, 12% ZnO, 2.5% NaPO3, and 4.5% Fe2O3, they either not annealed, annealed at 250 degrees C, or 420 C. Chemical degradation, mass loss, morphology degradation studied. was performed in Tris-buffered HCl, while loss morphologic studies both physiologic nonphysiologic solutions. results showed that rates inversely...
Rapid urbanisation is one of the greatest challenges for Sustainable Development Goals. We compared socioeconomic inequalities in urban and rural women's access to skilled birth attendance (SBA) assess whether poorest women have an advantage over women.
Having high-quality data available by 2020, disaggregated income, is one of the Sustainable Development Goals (SGD). We explored how well coverage with skilled birth attendance (SBA) predicted asset-based wealth quintiles and absolute income. used from 293 national surveys conducted in 100 low middle-income countries (LMICs) 1991 to 2014. Data on household income were computed using levels inequality World Bank Standardized Income Inequality Database. Multivariate regression was explore...

Temporal trends RMNCH indicators at national level, by place residence, wealth index. The slope index concentration inequality calculated assess inequalities over time. average absolute annual (AAAC) was...
The International Healthcare Community recommends that countries do not exceed a 15% rate for cesarean section (CS). Our objective was to determine the prevalence and factors associated with CS at GPHC from July September 2022. Methods: A cross-sectional study carried out data were collected 1296 mothers, who met inclusion criteria, through face-to-face interviews after obtaining prior informed consent. We performed descriptive analyses both outcome independent variables. Bivariate multiple...

Low birth weight (LBW) is a global health issue. We conducted cross-sectional study to assess factors associated with LBW at Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC). used data from all women who delivered single live baby as of 28 weeks gestational age July September 2022. 1,304 mothers and their respective live-born babies were included. Logistic regression was identify LBW-associated p < .05. The prevalence 13.3 percent (95 IC: [11.6–15.3]). Women primigravida (AOR: 2.18, 95 CI =...
