BackgroundThe first national severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) serosurvey in India, done May–June, 2020, among adults aged 18 years or older from 21 states, found a SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibody seroprevalence of 0·73% (95% CI 0·34–1·13). We aimed to assess the more recent nationwide general population India.MethodsWe did second household individuals 10 same 700 villages wards within 70 districts India that were included serosurvey. Individuals younger than and...
BackgroundEarlier serosurveys in India revealed seroprevalence of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) 0.73% May–June 2020 and 7.1% August–September 2020. A third serosurvey was conducted between December January 2021 to estimate the SARS-CoV-2 infection among general population healthcare workers (HCWs) India.MethodsThe same 70 districts as first second serosurveys. For each district, at least 400 individuals aged ≥10 years from 100 HCWs subdistrict-level health...
Diarrhea, exacerbated by poor hygiene and contaminated water, causes significant child mortality globally. Vibrio cholerae O1 is a primary pathogen, with outbreaks linked to specific biotypes regions like India. This study documents an acute diarrheal disease outbreak in Rourkela (urban setting), Odisha. A matched case-control was carried out followed preliminary investigations. Additionally, laboratory investigations were confirm the cholera outbreak. The current reported 1812 Acute...
Introduction: In India, the proportion of older population is projected to increase from 8% in 2015 19% 2050 and a third country's will be adults by end century. Multimorbidity common among elderly prevalence increases with age. Chronic conditions are most often present as clusters it's critical explore prevalent pattern clustering for better public health strategies. Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted 725 rural (>60 years) Tigiria block Odisha, India. status assessed using prior...
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) virus, has emerged as a global pandemic worldwide. In this study, we used ARTIC primers–based amplicon sequencing to profile 225 SARS-CoV-2 genomes from India. Phylogenetic analysis of 202 high-quality assemblies identified presence all five reported clades 19A, 19B, 20A, 20B, and 20C in population. The analyses revealed Europe Southeast Asia two major routes for introduction India...
Purpose: We investigated the persistence of vaccine-induced immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) among healthcare workers (HCWs) in Odisha who received a complete dose either Covaxin or Covishield vaccine. Methods: This 24-week longitudinal cohort study was conducted from January to July 2021 with participants 6 and research facilities understand dynamicity IgG SARS-CoV-2 after vaccines. Results: Serum samples were collected...
The study aims to estimate and compare the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) seroprevalence, fraction of asymptomatic or subclinical infections in population, determine demographic risk factors analyse antibody development at different time points among adults Bhubaneswar city, India. This was a serial three-round cross-sectional, community-based where participants were selected from residents city using multi-stage random sampling. Blood samples collected during...
In a population-based survey, Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection status, associated risk factors and vaccine coverage among the 4006 Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups (PVTG) participants of Odisha Family Health Survey (OTFHS) were assessed using various viral markers. All HBsAg-positive sera screened for load estimation, envelopment antigen (HBeAg) identification liver profile parameters. The overall prevalence HBsAg was 5.73% Kutia Khond tribes showed highest (17.85%; 95% CI:17.41–18.29)...
Abstract Cochrane's scientific strategy for 2025 to 2030 has four research priorities, including improving the lives of people living with multiple chronic conditions. The purpose this article written by Cochrane Thematic Group in Heart, Stroke and Circulation is explore considerations around conditions (also referred as ‘multiple long‐term conditions’ i.e. two or more conditions) systematic reviews. Rather than using term ‘comorbidity’, we introduce a new ‘co‐long‐term conditions’. We also...
The Global Health Sector Strategy on viral hepatitis (2016-2021) endorsed by the World Assembly in 2016, called for elimination of as a public health threat 2030. Odisha, an eastern state India, has third-highest percentage tribal population country and limited information is available regarding prevalence HBsAg among them. present study was undertaken to estimate seroprevalence B surface antigen well HBV DNA almost after 12 years first community Odisha. attempted 35 Scheduled (ST)...

Abstract There are very few studies in search of an alternate and convenient diagnostic tool which can substitute nasopharyngeal swab (NPS) specimen for detection SARS‐CoV‐2. In the study we analyzed, comparison agreement between feasibility using saliva to NPS diagnosis A total number 74 patients were enrolled this study. We analyzed compared collected within 48 h after symptom onset. carried out real‐time quantitative polymerase chain reaction, gene sequencing determination SARS‐CoV‐2...
With an increasing number of older adults in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC), the burden multimorbidity functional dependence is on rise. At same time, a higher prevalence elder abuse observed these populations. There scarce evidence interplay between with no reports from LMIC settings yet. Present study examined association risk its correlates rural elderly population Odisha, India. The data for this was collected as part our AHSETS comprising 725 residing Multimorbidity assessed by...
Abstract This was a population based cross-sectional study carried out to estimate and compare the seroprevalence, hidden prevalence determine demographic risk factors associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection among adults in three largest cities of Odisha, India, ascertain association progression epidemic. The survey August 2020 state India. Blood samples were collected from residents using random sampling methods tested for anti- SARS CoV-2 antibodies an automated CLIA platform. A total 4146...
