To generate estimates of the global prevalence and incidence urogenital infection with chlamydia, gonorrhoea, trichomoniasis syphilis in women men, aged 15-49 years, 2016.For gonorrhoea trichomoniasis, we systematically searched for studies conducted between 2009 2016 reporting prevalence. We also consulted regional experts. estimates, used Bayesian meta-analysis. For syphilis, aggregated national generated by using Spectrum-STI.For and/or 130 were eligible. Spectrum-STI database contained...
Background Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) commonly causes orolabial ulcers, while HSV-2 genital ulcers. However, HSV-1 is an increasing cause of infection. Previously, the World Health Organization estimated global burden for 2003 and 2012. The has not been estimated. Methods We fitted a constant-incidence model to pooled prevalence data from literature searches 6 regions used 2012 population derive numbers 0-49-year-olds with prevalent incident To estimate HSV-1, we applied values...
Background Herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) infection causes significant disease globally. Adolescent and adult may present as painful genital ulcers. Neonatal has high morbidity mortality. Additionally, HSV-2 likely contributes substantially to the spread of HIV infection. The global burden was last estimated for 2003. Here we new estimates 2012 prevalent (existing) incident (new) among females males aged 15–49 years, using updated methodology adjust test performance estimate by World...
OBJECTIVE: Most young women initiate sexual activity during adolescence; risk for sexually transmitted infections (STIs) accompanies this initiation. In study we estimated the prevalence of most common STIs among a representative sample female adolescents in United States. METHODS: Data were analyzed from 838 females who aged 14 to 19 and participating nationally National Health Nutrition Examination Survey 2003–2004. After interview examination, survey participants provided biological...
Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine uptake is low among adolescent girls in the United States. We sought to identify longitudinal predictors of HPV initiation populations at elevated risk for cervical cancer.We interviewed a population-based sample parents 10- 18-year-old areas North Carolina with cancer rates. Baseline interviews occurred summer 2007 and follow-up fall 2008. Measures included health belief model constructs.Parents reported that 27% (149/567) their daughters had initiated...
BackgroundNeonatal herpes is a rare but potentially devastating condition with an estimated 60% fatality rate without treatment. Transmission usually occurs during delivery from mothers simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) or 2 (HSV-2) genital infection. However, the global burden has never been quantified to our knowledge. We developed novel methodology for estimation and present first WHO regional estimates of annual number neonatal cases 2010–15.MethodsWe applied previous HSV-1 HSV-2 prevalence...
The objectives of this study were to assess, in a nationally representative network pediatricians and family physicians, (1) human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination practices, (2) perceived barriers vaccination, (3) factors associated with whether physicians strongly recommended HPV vaccine 11- 12-year-old female patients.In January through March 2008, survey was administered 429 419 physicians.Response rates 81% for 79% physicians. Ninety-eight percent 88% administering their offices...
Background. Listeriosis, a life-threatening foodborne illness caused by Listeria monocytogenes, affects ∼ 2500 Americans annually. Between July and October 2002, an uncommon strain of L. monocytogenes outbreak listeriosis in 9 states. Methods. We conducted case finding, case-control study, traceback microbiological investigations to determine the extent source propose control measures. Case patients were infected with between November 2002 states, different strains. Outcome measures included...
Abstract Background: Differential access to basic health information may contribute persistent cervical cancer disparities. We examined whether human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine awareness, HPV knowledge, and use of sources about the differ by sociodemographic characteristics associated with cancer. Methods: Study participants (n = 889) were caregivers adolescent girls ages 10 18 years living in southeastern North Carolina. Analyses simultaneously controlled for caregivers' gender, race,...
No standardized instruments, to our knowledge, exist assess attitudes and beliefs about human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination.We developed the Carolina HPV Immunization Attitudes Beliefs Scale (CHIAS), using data collected on 783 parents who had not yet vaccinated their daughters against HPV. We conducted a principal components analysis of 16 vaccine attitude belief items, assessed scale's psychometric properties, used linear regression examine relationship CHIAS factors parents'...
