Methods A cross-sectional conducted a total 408 during period from March September 2017. pre-coded self-administered...
PURPOSE To analyze survival and its predictors among patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) receiving transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) in Ethiopia. MATERIALS AND METHODS We conducted a retrospective cohort study who received TACE for HCC at MCM Hospital from December 1, 2016, to 31, 2022. Data were extracted patients' medical records, vital status was ascertained the charts or by phone call next of kin. used Kaplan-Meier estimator determine functions log-rank test compare...
Urinary tract infection (UTI) is one of the most common bacterial infections encountered by clinicians in developing countries, affecting urethra, bladder, and kidneys. It a prevalent infectious disease among outpatients hospitalized patients, leading to morbidity mortality. Antibiotic resistance uropathogens varies geographically, but empirical treatment our study area. Therefore, this aimed evaluate antimicrobial susceptibility risk factors symptomatic UTI cases at Dessie Referral Hospital...

A cross sectional conducted a total 342 new consecutive outpatients with abdominal complaints at Dessie Referral Hospital from May...
Nasopharyngeal carriage of bacteria is the main source for transmission pathogens across individuals and horizontal spread organisms in community. It an important risk factor acquisition community-acquired respiratory tract infection. major public health problem among children. The asymptomatic nasopharyngeal different globally, particularly Africa, higher children decreases with increasing age, 63.2% less than 5 years, 42.6% 5-15 28.0% adults older 15 years.The aims this study was to...
The World Health Organization (WHO) has identified viral hepatitis, caused by hepatitis B virus (HBV) and C (HCV), as one of the main global public health issues.

It most common episode infection in children second important cause hearing loss affecting 1.23 billion people, thus ranked fifth global burden disease with a higher incidence sub-Saharan Africa. Thus, aim this study was to determine isolation rate bacterial pathogens from pediatric patients otitis media. Institutional based cross-sectional conducted...
Anemia is a strong predictor of mortality and poor quality life among persons with either renal impairment or HIV infection. In this study, we investigated the prevalence anemia its association insufficiency infected patients initiating ART at hospital in Northeast Ethiopia. retrospective cohort records 373 on were selected Dessie Referral hospital, South Wollo, Ethiopia from September 2010 to August 2013. Socio-demographic clinical characteristics study collected using standardized data...

This study was designed to establish RIs common hematological parameters of apparently healthy pregnant non-pregnant women from Northeast Ethiopia. Method community based cross-sectional recruited 600 in South Wollo Zone, Ethiopia June August 2019. Complete...
Background Urinary tract infections are common bacterial and fungal in humans, occurring both the community immunocompromised patients healthcare settings. have a significant health impact on HIV-infected patients. Nowadays, drug-resistant pathogens widespread poses serious clinical risk, causes urinary infection. The agents of bacteria fungi that cause infection Escherichia coli followed by Klebsiella pneumonia , Staphylococcus saprophyticus Enterococcus faecalis group B streptococcus...
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) remains the commonest preventable cause of death in postoperative patients. VTE prophylaxis significantly reduces mortality risk, yet its utilization alarmingly low and variable (6-61 %) worldwide. This study aimed to compare use among adult surgical patients major hospitals Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

Introduction: Leprosy is a chronic neglected tropical disease, classified into two groups: multibacillary (MB) and paucibacillary (PB) leprosy based on the number of skin lesions nerve involvement. A positive slit smear (SSS) result automatically puts patient in MB category. Although guidelines do not recommend routine use SSS for classification diagnosis leprosy, it performed most patients Ethiopia. However, added value performing top clinical unclear.
 Methodology: cross sectional...
Wound infection plays an important role in the development of chronicity by delaying wound healing, prolonging hospital stay, increasing treatment cost and is responsible for significant morbidity. The aim this study was to investigate bacterial epidemiology, multi-drug resistance, associated risk factors at health institutions Northeast Ethiopia. A facility-based cross-sectional conducted from February April 2021. Demographic, clinical, factor variables were collected using a structured...
