While the COVID-19 pandemic will increase mortality due to virus, it is also likely indirectly. In this study, we estimate additional maternal and under-5 child deaths resulting from potential disruption of health systems decreased access food.
This paper provides an overview of the historical development and current status Lives Saved Tool (LiST). The a general explanation modeling approach used in model with links to web sites other articles more details. It also details process developing both structure as well assumptions model. information about how LiST has been is currently being by various organizations within national health programs. We provide review work that done try validate outputs
To estimate the economic impact likely to be achieved by efforts vaccinate against 10 vaccine-preventable diseases between 2001 and 2020 in 73 low- middle-income countries largely supported Gavi, Vaccine Alliance.We used health models of achieving forecasted coverages for vaccination Haemophilus influenzae type b, hepatitis B, human papillomavirus, Japanese encephalitis, measles, Neisseria meningitidis serogroup A, rotavirus, rubella, Streptococcus pneumoniae yellow fever. In comparison with...
Peru is an upper-middle-income country with wide social and regional disparities. In recent years, sustained multisectoral antipoverty programmes involving governments, political parties, civil society have included explicit health nutrition goals spending increased sharply. We did a case study the aim of documenting Peru's progress in reproductive, maternal, neonatal, child from 2000-13, explored potential determinants. examined outcomes interventions coverage, under-5 mortality, neonatal...
Vaccination is one of the most effective public health interventions. We investigate impact vaccination activities for
In 2010 the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation announced a $10 billion commitment over next ten years to increase access childhood vaccines in world's poorest countries. The effort was labeled "Decade of Vaccines." This study estimates both short- and long-term economic benefits from introduction increased use six seventy-two countries 2011 2020. Increased rates vaccination against pneumococcal Haemophilus influenzae type b pneumonia meningitis, rotavirus, pertussis, measles, malaria would save...
BackgroundThere have been declines in global immunisation coverage due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Recovery has begun but is geographically variable. This disruption led under-immunised cohorts and interrupted progress reducing vaccine-preventable disease burden. There have, so far, few studies of effects on vaccine effects. We aimed quantify vaccine-coverage routine campaign services, identify regions that could particularly benefit from catch-up activities, establish if losses effect be...
We conducted a prospective evaluation of the "Rapid Scale-Up" (RSU) program in Burkina Faso, focusing on integrated community case management (iCCM) component program. used quasi-experimental design which nine RSU districts were compared with seven without The included documentation implementation, assessments implementation and quality care, baseline endline coverage surveys, estimation mortality changes using Lives Saved Tool. Although trained large numbers health workers, there...
Background: While the coronavirus pandemic will increase mortality due to COVID-19, indirect effects of likely from other diseases. In this study, we estimate additional maternal and under-five child deaths resulting weakened health systems reduced utilization routine services during pandemic.Methods: We modeled three scenarios in which coverage basic life-saving interventions is different extents (10% 50%) for durations (3, 6, 12 months), using assumptions based on emerging reports...
Globally, less than half of Countdown Countries will achieve the Millennium Development Goal reducing under-5 mortality rate (U5MR) by two-thirds 2015. There is growing interest in community-based delivery mechanisms to help accelerate progress. One promising approach use a form participatory mothers' groups, called Care Groups, for expanding coverage key child survival interventions, an essential feature achieving impact.In this study we evaluate effectiveness Group projects conducted 5...
Background Bangladesh experienced impressive reductions in maternal and neonatal mortality over the past several decades with annual rates of decline surpassing 4% since 2000. We comprehensively assessed health system non-health factors that drove Bangladesh’s success reduction. Methods operationalised a comprehensive conceptual framework analysed available household surveys for trends inequalities mortality, intervention coverage quality care. These include 12 totalling 1.3 million births...
Abstract Background The last two decades have seen substantial expansion of childhood vaccination programmes in low and middle income countries (LMICs). Here we quantify the health impact these by estimating deaths disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) averted with ten antigens 98 LMICs between 2000 2030. Methods Independent research groups provided model-based disease burden estimates under a range coverage scenarios for pathogens: hepatitis B (HepB), Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib),...
Delay in vaccination from schedule has been frequently documented and varies by vaccine, dose, setting. Vaccination delay may result the failure to prevent deaths that would have averted on-schedule vaccination. We constructed a model assess impact of with pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) on under-five mortality. The accounted for week age-specific risk mortality, direct effect vaccination, herd protection. For each run, cohort children were exposed mortality protective PCV age birth...
Introduction Recent modelled estimates suggest that Niger made progress in maternal mortality since 2000. However, neonatal has not declined 2012 and were based on limited data.

Childhood diarrhoea mortality has declined substantially in Peru recent decades. We documented trends childhood from 1980 to 2015, along with coverage of diarrhoea-related interventions and risk factors, identify the main drivers reduction.We conducted desk reviews on social determinants, policies programmes, implemented during study period. reviewed different datasets child mortality, interventions. received input individuals familiar implementation programmes. used Lives Saved Tool (LiST)...
The Missed Opportunity tool was developed as an application in the Lives Saved Tool (LiST) to allow users quickly compare relative impact of interventions.

Peru has made great improvements in reducing stunting and child mortality the past decade, reached Millennium Development Goals 1 4. The remaining challenges or missed opportunities for survival needs to be identified quantified, order guide next steps further improve Peru. We used Lives Saved Tool (LiST) project impact of proven interventions reaching every women need, eliminating inequalities coverage distribution between wealth quintiles urban–rural residence. Our analyses quantified...
Factors associated with the decline in under-five diarrhea mortality India: a LiST analysis Background India has achieved 86% reduction number of diarrheal deaths from 1980 to 2015.Nonetheless is still among leading causes deaths.The aim this was study contribution factors that led country and effect scaling up intervention packages address remaining deaths.

A double blind retrospective study was carried out on a sample of children who were affected in mysterious gas poisoning epidemic together with controls drawn from the same school. The dependent measures employed Junior Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (JEPQ), Hypnotic Susceptibility Scale (HSC), Heart Rate (HR) and Skin Potential Response (SPR). vigilance task administered during assessment latter two variables. had significantly higher HR marginal increase SPR. It is proposed that...
This paper explains how The Lives Saved Tool (LiST), a computer-based model that estimates the impact of scaling up interventions on stillbirths, maternal, neonatal and child health, can contribute to evaluations programs being delivered at scale improve maternal health. LiST be used estimate program in advance, allowing planners refine, streamline set appropriate targets. also program, which is particularly useful given high costs measuring changes population Finally, relative contributions...
