Infant mortality is an indicator of child health, and explanatory variable to reflect the socioeconomic development a country. We aimed examine changes trends infant in European Union (EU) its 28 member states 1994–2015 period. extracted data deaths children aged less than one year between 1994 2015 from Eurostat database. analysed secular variation EU overall, by country geographical region using joinpoint regression analysis. conducted additional analyses neonatal early trends. has...

La mortalidad infantil es un indicador de la salud y una variable explicativa del desarrollo socioeconómico. Nuestro objetivo fue examinar los cambios tendencias en Unión Europea (UE) sus 28 países miembros el período 1994-2015. Se recopilaron datos muertes niños menores año entre 1994 2015 base Eurostat. Estudiamos las UE, por regiones, utilizando análisis regresión joinpoint. condujeron adicionales para estudiar neonatal precoz. UE ha disminuido significativamente 8,3 a 3,6 1.000...

Background: We analyzed the relationship between prevalence of schizophrenia and season birth gestation during a period an influenza pandemic. Methods: Cross-sectional analysis prospective population-based cohort 470,942 adults. fitted multivariant logistic regression models to determine whether in influenza-pandemic year (1957, 1968, 1977) was associated with schizophrenia. Results: 2077 subjects had been diagnosed Logistic identified significantly greater men than women (OR = 1.516, CI 95%...

Summary: Hypertension is a public health problem with serious social, economic, and consequences. The World Health Organisation (WHO) estimates that 1 in 3 adults worldwide suffers from hypertension. In Cameroon, the prevalence of hypertension estimated at 35%, nearly 17,000 deaths recorded each year. This study aimed to determine factors associated occurrence complications Sangmélima Referral Hospital (HRS). A total 528 patients treated cardiology department HRS were identified between...

The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted routine child immunization efforts, threatening to reverse progress in controlling vaccine-preventable diseases. We analyzed the impact of on DTP3 vaccination Europe by comparing trends before and after using time series data from 2000 2023. Employing Joinpoint regression, chi-square tests, segmented regression analysis, we assessed coverage changes. findings revealed significant regional disparities across Europe. Statistical models indicated reductions...

Abstract Background Schizophrenia is a neurodevelopmental disorder of complex etiopathogenesis involving genetic and environmental factors. Mother’s exposure to infectious agents during pregnancy has been, implicated in the pathogenesis schizophrenia. Studies experimental models support that flu virus can cause embryonic neurodevelopment damage such as described for embryos later develop schizophrenia, but epidemiological studies association between schizophrenia gestation times documented...
