People with cancer are at increased risk of hospitalisation and death following infection SARS-CoV-2. Therefore, we aimed to conduct one the first evaluations vaccine effectiveness against breakthrough SARS-CoV-2 infections in patients a population level.
PurposePeople living with cancer and haematological malignancies are at an increased risk of hospitalisation death following infection acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2. Coronavirus third dose vaccine boosters proposed to boost waning immune responses in immunocompromised individuals increase protection; however, their effectiveness has not yet been systematically evaluated.MethodsThis study is a population-scale real-world evaluation the United Kingdom's booster programme for...
Abstract Patients with cancer are at increased risk of hospitalisation and mortality following severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. However, the SARS-CoV-2 phenotype evolution in patients since 2020 has not previously been described. We therefore evaluated on a UK populationscale from 01/11/2020-31/08/2022, assessing case-outcome rates hospital assessment(s), intensive care admission mortality. observed that disease become less non-cancer population....
Child chronic undernutrition, as measured by stunting, is prevalent in low- and middle-income countries among the major threats to child development. While stunting its implications for cognitive development have been considered irreversible beyond early childhood there a lack of consensus literature on this, some evidence recovery from that this may be associated with improvements cognition. Less known however, about drivers growth aspects linked In paper we investigate factors faltering...
Importance Accurate identification of patient groups with the lowest level protection following COVID-19 vaccination is important to better target resources and interventions for most vulnerable populations. It not known whether SARS-CoV-2 antibody testing has clinical utility high-risk groups, such as people cancer. Objective To evaluate spike protein vaccine response (COV-S) associated risk breakthrough infection or hospitalization among patients Design, Setting, Participants This was a...
Children from low socio-economic status (SES) households often demonstrate worse growth and developmental outcomes than wealthier children, in part because poor children face a broader range of risk factors. It is difficult to characterize the trajectories SES disparities low- middle-income countries longitudinal data are infrequently available. We analyze measures children's linear (height) at ages 1, 5, 8 12y receptive language (Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test) Ethiopia, India, Peru...
Child chronic malnutrition is endemic in low- and middle-income countries deleterious for child development. Studies investigating the relationship between nutrition at different periods of childhood, as measured by growth these (growth trajectories), cognitive development have produced mixed evidence. Although an explanation this has been that studies use approaches to model trajectories, differences across are not well understood. Furthermore, little known about pathways linking...
Abstract We estimate the relationship between parental aspirations and child private‐school enrollment using longitudinal data on children from India aged 8–22 years instrumental variables that address a number of possible biases in estimation for causal interpretation. find whose parents aspire them to complete university are 21% more likely attend private school at age 12 this persists through 15. Our results also suggest living wealthier households communities with higher wages be...

Adolescence has been highlighted as a period when environments are critical for the human capital development of women, and thus their children, but evidence on this from low‐ middle‐income countries is scarce. We estimate effect mother’s adolescent undernutrition offspring growth infancy through adolescence using data an international cohort study in Ethiopia, India, Peru Vietnam, instrumental variables estimation that employs rainfall shocks during instruments nutritional status. find...
Abstract Objectives Limited evidence exists on the policies to increase self‐isolation compliance, with no experimental evidence. This trial aimed evaluate effect of a home visiting intervention in London Borough Havering compliance guidance, relative positive COVID‐19 cases who received visits. Design Mixed method evaluation involving two‐arm randomized controlled (RCT) an implementation and process evaluation. Methods A total 3878 tested for were randomly allocated equal probability...
