Detection of Ureaplasma, Mycoplasma and Candida spp. in the vagina during pregnancy has previously been associated with preterm birth (PTB). However, prevalence these microorganisms obstetric risks (likely to be population-specific) have not determined Australian women; furthermore, case Ureaplasma spp., very few studies attempted characterisation at species level none examined genotype/serovar status further refine risk assessment. In order address issues we sampled vaginal fluid 191...
ABSTRACT Intrauterine infection with Ureaplasma spp. is strongly associated preterm birth and adverse neonatal outcomes. We assessed whether combined intraamniotic (IA) maternal intravenous (IV) treatment one of two candidate antibiotics, azithromycin (AZ) or solithromycin (SOLI), would eradicate intrauterine parvum in a sheep model pregnancy. Sheep singleton pregnancies received an IA injection U. serovar 3 at 85 days gestational age (GA). At 120 GA, animals ( n = 5 to 8/group) the...
Estimating health care costs, either in the context of understanding resource utilization implementation a plan, or economic evaluation, has become common activity planners, technology assessment agencies and academic groups. However, data sources for costs outside direct service delivery are often scarce. WHO-CHOICE produces global price databases guidance on quantity assumptions to support country level costing exercises. This paper presents updates methodology programme costs.We collated...
Summary Our study investigated whether pre‐operative screening and treatment for anaemia suboptimal iron stores in a patient blood management clinic is cost effective. We used outcome data from retrospective cohort comparing colorectal surgery patients admitted pre‐ post‐implementation of programme. applied propensity score weighting techniques with multivariable regression models to adjust differences baseline characteristics between groups. Episode‐level hospitalisation costs were sourced...
BACKGROUND: In 2016, a preoperative clinic was implemented to screen, evaluate, and manage anemia suboptimal iron stores at major tertiary care medical center in Western Australia. Few studies compare the costs reimbursements associated with management. The objective of our study conduct net cost analysis implementation this clinic. METHODS: We designed retrospective cohort involving elective colorectal surgical admissions over 3-year period. baseline year selected 2015–2016 financial year,...
Background To determine the health system costs and health-related benefits of interventions for prevention control non-communicable diseases (NCDs), including mental disorders, purpose identifying most cost-effective intervention options in support global normative guidance on best-buy NCDs. In addition, tools are developed to allow country contextualisation analyses local priority setting exercises. Methods This analysis follows standard WHO-CHOICE (World Health Organization-Choosing...
Information on cost-effectiveness allows policy-makers to evaluate if they are using currently available resources effectively and efficiently. Our objective is examine the of health interventions improve maternal, newborn child (MNCH) outcomes, provide global evidence relative context two geographic regions.We consider across life course from adolescence pregnancy for children up 5 years old. Interventions included those that fall within areas immunization, healthcare, nutrition,...

Common roles project officers, researchers managers. Nearly 40% asked 'tertiary' degree, an additional 20% requiring PhD degree. A qualification was...
Objectives: To describe the numbers of degree completions, variety available courses and demographics students who study public health in Australia. Methods: We utilised national completions data from universities between 2001 2018 analysed for had completed degrees labelled as at bachelor's master's by coursework level. Results: There have been 21,000 graduates since 2001, 15,770 degrees. Nearly two-thirds all a 'broad' degree, such Bachelor Health Science or Master Public Health. has an...
Background: It is not well understood what occupations public health graduates have after graduation, nor it known whether their education provides them with the relevant knowledge and skills to feel matched occupations. Furthermore, commonly presumed that work in government, investments would bolster this workforce. Methods: We aimed describe common of Australian graduates, heterogeneity graduate destinations, level mismatch report, compare these results other fields study. used eight years...
Familial hypercholesterolaemia (FH) can be effectively detected and managed in primary care, but the health economic evidence for this is scarce. The aim of study was to examine management pathways cost implications FH screening Australian general practice.Cost-effectiveness outcomes were projected using a life table model. Data used from 133 patients 15 practice clinics an earlier study. Costing mortality data sourced governmental sources published literature.Most had regular consultation...
