<h2>Summary</h2><h3>Background</h3> Regularly updated data on stroke and its pathological types, including their incidence, prevalence, mortality, disability, risk factors, epidemiological trends, are important for evidence-based care planning resource allocation. The Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, Risk Factors Study (GBD) aims to provide a standardised comprehensive measurement these metrics at global, regional, national levels. <h3>Methods</h3> We applied GBD 2019 analytical tools...
Around the world, more than three million newborns die in their first months of life every year. In Ethiopia during last five years period; neonatal mortality is 37 deaths per 1000 live births. Even though there an improvement compared to past years, still high home delivery 90 %, and about Millennium Development Goal, which aims be less 32/1000 births Ethiopia. The purpose this study assess maternal knowledge, practice associated factors essential newborn care at Gulomekada District Eastern...
Background COVID-19 has caused a global public health crisis affecting most countries, including Ethiopia, in various ways. This study maps the vulnerability to infection, case severity and likelihood of death from Ethiopia. Methods Thirty-eight potential indicators death, identified based on literature review availability nationally representative data at low geographic scale, were assembled multiple sources for geospatial analysis. Geospatial analysis techniques applied produce showing...
BACKGROUND: Evidence of the cost implications and health outcomes associated with use mobile stroke units (MSU) is required to support their utilization. We aimed evaluate causal effect an MSU compared a standard ambulance on hospitalization costs 90- 180-day outcomes. METHODS: Causal estimation was performed using patient-level data from cohort patients in 2018 identified Australian Stroke Clinical Registry (Victoria) Melbourne MSU. These were linked Ambulance Victoria government-held...
The objective of this study was to assess magnitude metabolic syndrome and its associated factors among type 2 diabetes mellitus patients in Ayder Comprehensive Specialized Hospital. A hospital based cross sectional design used. Binary logistic regression model used.A total 419 respondents (208 males 211 females) were enrolled; the mean age 56.39 (SD 10.18), 51.1% had according international federation.

Childhood growth faltering remains a major public health problem in developing countries. We aimed to identify the distal, underlying, and proximal dietary non-dietary factors associated with length-for-age (LFA) of infants young children Ethiopia.We used nationally representative sample 2,932 aged 6-23 months from Ethiopian demographic survey (EDHS) conducted 2016. Hierarchical regression analysis was done LFA.Pastoral residence (adjusted β (aβ) = -0.56, 95%CI -0.82, -0.31, P<0.001) poorest...
Background Globally, the burden of stroke is increasing at an alarming rate. Factors associated with among hypertensive patients are not consistent across different studies and there limited particularly to in particular setting. This study aimed assess factors hypertension Ayder Comprehensive Specialized Hospital, Mekelle, Tigray, Ethiopia, 2018. Methods Hospital-based case-control was conducted from February April Cases were adult controls without a stroke. identified patient's card...
Introduction Infant and young child feeding (IYCF) is the cornerstone of infant survival, healthy growth development, future generations national development. In spite importance optimal nutrition in low- middle-income countries, there has been no review conducted Ethiopia. Thus, aim this systematic meta-analysis to estimate coverage identify associated factors IYCF practices Methods PubMed, Scopus, EMBASE, CINHAL, EBSCO, Web Science WHO Global Health Library databases will be searched for...
Objectives We compared the performance of laboratory-based cardiovascular risk prediction tools in a low-income and middle-income country setting, estimated use antihypertensive lipid-lowering medications those deemed at high event. Design A cross-sectional study. Setting The study population comprised adult residents (aged ≥18 years) Rishi Valley region located Chittoor District, south-western Andhra Pradesh, India.

Background: Globally, 165 million children are stunted. Currently in Ethiopia, 14 %, 9%, and 25% of stunted, wasted underweight respectively. This paper is intended to provide compressive up date evidence on the prevalence investigate associated factors Malnutrition Ethiopia from January, 2000 May, 2015. Methods: A quantitative epidemiological systematic literature review was conducted by searching different published articles data bases which written English including MEDLINE, PubMed,...
We compared the performance of cardiovascular risk prediction tools in rural India. applied World Health Organization Risk Score (WHO-RS) tools, Australian (ARS), and Global (Globorisk) to participants aged 40-74 years, without prior disease, Rishi Valley Prospective Cohort Study, Andhra Pradesh, Cardiovascular events during 5-year follow-up period were identified by verbal autopsy (fatal events) or self-report (non-fatal events). The predictive each tool was assessed discrimination...
Abstract Objective We prospectively determined incident cardiovascular events and their association with risk factors in rural India. Methods followed up 7935 adults from the Rishi Valley Prospective Cohort Study to identify events. Using Cox proportional hazards regression, we estimated hazard ratios (HRs) 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) for associations between potential Population attributable fractions (PAFs) were using R (‘averisk’ package). Results Of 4809 participants without prior...
Non-laboratory-based cardiovascular risk prediction tools are feasible alternatives to laboratory-based in low- and middle-income countries. However, their effectiveness compared counterparts has not been adequately tested.
Background: With the exponential growth of published systematic reviews (SR) and meta-analyses (MA), there is a high potential for duplication work compromising quality. The national institute health research (NIHR) recommend registration SR MA, which can reduce waste increase transparency This study aimed to investigate rate protocol its association with methodological reporting quality.Methods: We searched MA indexed in PubMed, EMABSE, Scopus CINAHL databases until March 16, 2021.
