Although books and articles guiding the methods of sample size calculation for prevalence studies are available, we aim to guide, assist report using present calculators.We discuss four parameters (namely level confidence, precision, variability data, anticipated loss) required studies. Choosing correct with proper understanding, reporting issues mainly discussed. We demonstrate use a purposely-designed calculators that users make informed-decision prepare appropriate report.Two can be used...
Abstract Background In keeping with nation-wide efforts to contain the spread of COVID-19, Universiti Brunei Darussalam (UBD) transformed fully its pedagogical delivery online mode, where we investigated teaching and learning experiences, physical mental health undergraduate students lecturers during COVID-19 pandemic.

Numerous methods of age estimation have been proposed. The Demirjian method is the most frequently used, which was first applied in a French Canadian population 1973. Willems modification above and Belgian 2002.The objectives this study were to test applicability two methods, namely Willems, for Malay population, find correlation between body mass index difference dental chronological age.A cross-sectional involving 214 boys girls, selected by simple stratified random sampling carried out....
Epidemic modelling studies predict that physical distancing is critical in containing COVID-19. However, few empirical have validated this finding. Our study evaluates the effectiveness of different measures controlling viral transmission.
Global investment in biomedical research has grown significantly over the last decades, reaching approximately a quarter of trillion US dollars 2010. However, not all this is distributed evenly by gender. It follows, arguably, that scarce resources may be optimally invested (by either supporting best science or failing to investigate topics benefit women and men equitably). Women across world tend underrepresented both as researchers participants, receive less funding, appear frequently than...
Abstract We report the transmission dynamics of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) across different settings in Brunei. An initial cluster SARS-CoV-2 cases arose from 19 persons who had attended Tablighi Jama'at gathering Malaysia, resulting 52 locally transmitted cases. The highest nonprimary attack rates (14.8%) were observed a subsequent religious Brunei and households attendees (10.6%). Household symptomatic case-patients higher (14.4%) than asymptomatic (4.4%)...
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of morbidity and mortality globally. This review aimed to summarise evidence on key features, usability benefits CVD risk calculators using digital platforms for CVDs prevention management in populations.
Little evidence estimated the exposure of psychosocial work stressors, work-related fatigue, and musculoskeletal disorders for nurses working in South-East Asian region, research on this subject is almost nonexistent Brunei. The main aim our study was to provide a comprehensive exploration estimate variables amongst emergency (ER) critical care (CC) also aims compare whether experiences ER differ from those CC nurses.This cross-sectional implemented departments across Brunei public hospitals...
Abstract Case reports of patients with coronavirus disease‐2019 (COVID‐19) who have been discharged and subsequently report positive reverse transcription‐polymerase chain reaction again (hereafter referred as “re‐positive”) do not fully describe the magnitude significance this issue. To determine re‐positive rate (proportion) review probable causes outcomes, we conduct a retrospective study all 119 in Brunei Darussalam up till April 23. Patients were are required to self‐isolate at home for...
We report early findings from COVID-19 cases in Brunei suggesting a remarkably high proportion of asymptomatic (12%) and presymptomatic (30%) cases. This was even higher imported These have implications for measures to prevent onward local transmission should prompt reconsideration current testing protocols safe de-escalation social distancing measures.
Depression, anxiety and stress have been recognized as important mental outcome measures in stressful working settings. The present study explores the prevalence of self-perceived depression, stress; their relationships with psychosocial job factors.

To predict the mortality of patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). We collected clinical data COVID-19 between January 18 and March 29 2020 in Wuhan, China . Gradient boosting decision tree (GBDT), logistic regression (LR) model, simplified LR were built to COVID-19. also evaluated different models by computing area under curve (AUC), accuracy, positive predictive value (PPV), negative (NPV) fivefold cross-validation. A total 2924 included our evaluation, 257 (8.8%) died 2667...

Abstract Background Epidemic modelling studies predict that physical distancing is critical in containing COVID-19. However, few empirical have validated this finding. Our study evaluates the effectiveness of different measures controlling viral transmission. Methods We identified three distinct with varying intensity and implemented at times—international travel controls, restrictions on mass gatherings, lockdown-type measures—based Oxford COVID-19 Government Response Tracker. also...
