The literature focuses on mortality among children younger than 5 years. Comparable information nonfatal health outcomes these and the fatal burden of diseases injuries older adolescents is scarce.
Since 2000, the scale-up of malaria control interventions has substantially reduced morbidity and mortality caused by disease globally, fuelling bold aims for elimination. In tandem with increased availability geospatially resolved data, programmes increasingly use high-resolution maps to characterise spatially heterogeneous patterns risk thus efficiently target areas high burden.
<h3>Introduction</h3> Cancer is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the United States results high economic burden. <h3>Objective</h3> To estimate age-standardized rates by US county from 29 cancers. <h3>Design Setting</h3> Deidentified death records National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) population counts Census Bureau, NCHS, Human Mortality Database 1980 to 2014 were used. Validated small area estimation models used county-level cancers: lip oral cavity; nasopharynx; other...
<h3>Importance</h3> Examining life expectancy by county allows for tracking geographic disparities over time and assessing factors related to these disparities. This information is potentially useful policy makers, clinicians, researchers seeking reduce increase longevity. <h3>Objective</h3> To estimate annual tables from 1980 2014; describe trends in inequalities age-specific risk of death; assess the proportion variation explained socioeconomic race/ethnicity factors, behavioral metabolic...
<h3>Importance</h3> County-level patterns in mortality rates by cause have not been systematically described but are potentially useful for public health officials, clinicians, and researchers seeking to improve reduce geographic disparities. <h3>Objectives</h3> To demonstrate the use of a novel method county-level estimation estimate annual US county 21 mutually exclusive causes death from 1980 through 2014. <h3>Design, Setting, Participants</h3> Redistribution methods garbage codes...
In the United States, regional variation in cardiovascular mortality is well-known but county-level estimates for all major conditions have not been produced.To estimate age-standardized rates from diseases by county.Deidentified death records National Center Health Statistics and population counts US Census Bureau, Statistics, Human Mortality Database 1980 through 2014 were used. Validated small area estimation models used to diseases, including ischemic heart disease, cerebrovascular...
SummaryBackgroundSubstantial progress has been made in reducing the burden of malaria Africa since 2000, but those gains could be jeopardised if COVID-19 pandemic affects availability key control interventions. The aim this study was to evaluate plausible effects on incidence and mortality under different levels disruption control.MethodsUsing an established set spatiotemporal Bayesian geostatistical models, we generated geospatial estimates across malaria-endemic African countries clinical...
Abstract Insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) are one of the most widespread and impactful malaria interventions in Africa, yet a spatially-resolved time series ITN coverage has never been published. Using data from multiple sources, we generate high-resolution maps access, use, nets-per-capita annually 2000 to 2020 across 40 highest-burden African countries. Our findings support several existing hypotheses: that use is high among those with discarded more quickly than official policy presumes,...
Malaria remains a leading cause of illness and death globally, with countries in sub-Saharan Africa bearing disproportionate burden. Global high-resolution maps malaria prevalence, incidence, mortality are crucial for tracking spatially heterogeneous progress against the disease to inform strategic control efforts. We present latest such maps, first since 2019, which cover years 2000-22. The accompanied by administrative-level summaries include estimated COVID-19 pandemic-related impacts on...

<h3>Importance</h3> Substance use disorders, including alcohol disorders and drug intentional injuries, self-harm interpersonal violence, are important causes of early death disability in the United States. <h3>Objective</h3> To estimate age-standardized mortality rates by county from self-harm, violence <h3>Design Setting</h3> Validated small-area estimation models were applied to deidentified records National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) population counts US Census Bureau, NCHS,...
Chronic respiratory diseases are an important cause of death and disability in the United States.To estimate age-standardized mortality rates by county from chronic diseases.Validated small area estimation models were applied to deidentified records National Center for Health Statistics population counts US Census Bureau, Statistics, Human Mortality Database county-level 1980 2014 diseases.County residence.Age-standardized county, year, sex, cause.A total 4 616 711 deaths due recorded States...
<h3>Importance</h3> Infectious diseases are mostly preventable but still pose a public health threat in the United States, where estimates of infectious mortality not available at county level. <h3>Objective</h3> To estimate age-standardized rates and trends by from 1980 to 2014 lower respiratory infections, diarrheal diseases, HIV/AIDS, meningitis, hepatitis, tuberculosis. <h3>Design Setting</h3> This study used deidentified death records National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS)...
Urban population growth in Nigeria may exceed the availability of affordable housing and basic services, resulting living conditions conducive to vector breeding heterogeneous malaria transmission. Understanding link between community-level factors urban transmission informs targeted interventions. We analyzed Demographic Health Survey Program cluster-level data, alongside geospatial covariates, describe variations prevalence children under 5 years age. Univariate multivariable models...
Mortality for children with congenital heart disease (CHD) has declined improved surgical techniques and neonatal screening; however, as these patients live longer, accurate estimates of the prevalence adults CHD are lacking.To determine mortality trends CHD, we combined National Vital Statistics System data Health Interview Survey using an integrative systems model to recalled a function age, sex, year (by mean positive response question "has doctor told you that (name) disease?", which is...
Background: This paper investigates trends in suicide rate, the reasons for and means of occupation deceased, to prioritize prevention activities India highlight limitations data quality surveillance. Methods: Data available public domain from National Crimes Record Bureau (NCRB) were analysed 2001 2010 at national sub-national levels, split by age groups sex ages 15 years above. Results: The reported rate was 14.9 15.4 suicides per 100 000 population 2010, respectively. More developed...
Repeated outbreaks of emerging pathogens underscore the need for preparedness plans to prevent, detect, and respond. As countries develop improve National Action Plans Health Security, addressing subnational variation in is increasingly important. One facet mitigating disease transmission health facility accessibility, linking infected persons with systems vice versa. Where potential patients can access care, local facilities must ensure they appropriately diagnose, treat, contain spread...
BackgroundHealth outcomes are known to vary at both the country and local levels, but trends in mortality across a detailed comprehensive set of causes have not been previously described very level. Life expectancy King County, WA, USA, is 95th percentile among all counties USA. However, little about how life from different death local, neighbourhood level within this county. In analysis, we estimated cause-specific County describe spatial trends, quantify disparities mortality, assess...
Abstract Background Anti-malarial drugs play a critical role in reducing malaria morbidity and mortality, but their is mediated by effectiveness. Effectiveness defined as the probability that an anti-malarial drug will successfully treat individual infected with parasites under routine health care delivery system. effectiveness (AmE) influenced resistance, quality, system patient adherence to use; its influence on burden varies through space time. Methods This study uses data from 232...
