Abstract Objectives Globally, China has the third highest number of tuberculosis (TB) cases despite high rates (85.6%) effective treatment coverage. Identifying risk factors associated with unsuccessful outcomes is an important component maximising efficacy TB control programmes. Methods Retrospective cohort study to evaluate 306,860 drug‐susceptible patients who underwent in Hunan Province, between 2013 and 2018. Univariable multivariable logistic regression models were used identify...
Abstract Background Tuberculosis (TB) continues to be a major public health challenge in China. Understanding TB management delays within the context of China’s unique ethnic diversity may value tackling disease. This study sought evaluate impact minority status on diagnosis and treatment delays. Methods retrospective cohort was conducted patients diagnosed with Hunan Province, China between 2013 2018. Diagnosis delay defined as time interval onset symptoms date diagnosis. Treatment...
Abstract Background Soil transmitted helminth (STH) infections are estimated to impact 24% of the world’s population and responsible for chronic debilitating morbidity. Disadvantaged communities among worst affected further marginalized as infection prevalence fuels poverty cycle. Ambitious targets have been set eliminate STH infections, but accurate epidemiological data will be required inform appropriate interventions. This paper details protocol an analysis that aims produce spatial...
Tuberculosis (TB) is the leading infectious cause of death globally. Several preventive measures are employed to prevent TB, yet there a paucity evidence on effectiveness these interventions. Therefore, this study aimed identify most effective interventions for reducing TB incidence.A systematic search was undertaken across five relevant databases including PubMed, SCOPUS, Web Science, Cochrane Central Register Controlled Trials, and ClinicalTrials.gov from inception February 22, 2023....
While bacille-calmette-guerin (BCG) vaccination is one of the recommended strategies for preventing tuberculosis (TB), its coverage low in several countries, including Ethiopia. This study investigated spatial co-distribution and drivers TB prevalence BCG ecological was conducted using data from a national survey Ethiopian demographic health (EDHS) to map prevalence. A Bayesian geostatistical model built identify distribution coverage. defined as number children who received vaccine divided...
Despite impacting mankind since ancient times, tuberculosis (TB) persists as the leading cause of death from an infectious disease. TB can remain latent and further research is required to understand activation risk risks vs. benefits treating infection. Drug resistance poses escalating threat active disease achieving cure. Recent advances in molecular epidemiological techniques facilitate early diagnosis, drug susceptibility testing opportunity better transmission dynamics. Research ongoing...
