Background The Indonesian national Sample Registration System (SRS) is a source of vital statistical information. This article describes the design SRS along with an analysis its performance during inception period from 2014 to 2017. Methods was assessed according following criteria: sample size utilisation, population coverage, and mortality recording procedures/data management.International standard indicators by age, sex, cause, assessment data quality, were estimated for 2016. Results...
Objective: Studies of overall cancer incidence and mortality in psychiatric patients have had mixed results. Some reported lower than expected or mortality, while others found no association an increased risk depending on sample, diagnosis, site methodology. Few studies compared using the same population Method: A population-based record-linkage analysis to compare with that for general Queensland population, historical cohort calculate age- sex-standardised rate ratios hazard ratios. Mental...
The following immature stage indices for Aedes (Stegomyia) aegypti surveillance were evaluated in four north Queensland, Australia towns with respect to their relationship and adult female densities: Breteau, House, Container, Larval Density, Stegomyia (and modifications thereof), a newly created Adult Productivity Index. Spearman's correlations of that considered larval or (larvae pupae) numbers had better abundance but this was not necessarily the case against abundance. To examine...
Background Zoonotic schistosomiasis japonica is a major public health problem in China. Bovines, particularly water buffaloes, are thought to play role the transmission of humans Preliminary results (1998–2003) praziquantel (PZQ)-based pilot intervention study we undertook provided proof principle that buffaloes reservoir hosts for S. japonicum Poyang Lake region, Jiangxi Province. Methods and Findings Here present cluster-randomised trial (2004–2007) undertaken Hunan Provinces, with...
Background Previous research has demonstrated elevated mortality following release from prison. We contrasted the risk of opioid overdose death with suicide in a cohort adults released prison Queensland, Australia over 14-year-period. examine factors for cohort, and make comparisons general population. Method constructed retrospective all between 1994 2007 linked this to National Death Index deaths up 31 December 2007. Results identified 41 970 individuals Of 2158 community, 371 were...
To estimate the incidence and identify risk factors for mortality in adults released from prisons state of Queensland, Australia.Prospective cohort study, linking baseline survey data with a national death register.Selected within Australia.Adults (n = 1320) recruited Queensland 6 weeks expected release, between August 2008 July 2010, followed up to 4.7 years community.Participants completed comprehensive covering psychosocial circumstances, physical mental health, substance use health...
Abstract Background Heterogeneous respiratory system static compliance ( C RS ) values and levels of hypoxemia in patients with novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) requiring mechanical ventilation have been reported previous small-case series or studies conducted at a national level. Methods We designed retrospective observational cohort study rapid data gathering from the international COVID-19 Critical Care Consortium to comprehensively describe —calculated as: tidal volume/[airway...
We describe the design and report baseline results of a cluster-randomized intervention to determine importance bovines for Schistosoma japonicum transmission in southern China. The study involves four matched village pairs Hunan Jiangxi Provinces, with within each pair randomly selected as (human bovine praziquantel treatment) or control treatment only). Total population prevalences at were 12.4% (n = 5,390) 15.2% 1,573) humans bovines, respectively; similar pairs. Bovine contamination...
A 40-year-old man who has sex with men (MSM) urethral gonorrhoea failed to respond treatment 400 mg cefixime orally. Laboratory isolation of the post-treatment strain showed a minimum inhibitory concentration ≥0.25 mg/L, which is level tolerance that not been previously documented in UK. This case illustrates importance assessing all patients after for so failure and antibiotic resistance can be identified. It vital culture continues attempted from infected individuals enable accurate...
People released from prison are at higher risk of mortality potentially preventable causes than their peers in the general population. Because most studies this phenomenon reliant on registry data, there is little health and behavioural information available those risk, hampering development targeted, evidence-based preventive responses. Our aim was to identify modifiable protective factors for external cause cause-specific after release prison.We undertook a nested case-control study using...
Abstract Background Bluetongue virus serotype 3 emerged in northern Europe and the UK for first time 2023, causing significant losses of domestic ruminants. Vector-proof accommodation is considered a potential control measure to reduce host-vector contact, but this has not been investigated Europe. This study investigates efficacy vector-proof protect livestock from Culicoides biting midges UK. Methods Four identical stables were fitted with various levels vector-proofing, using readily...
Background. Aboriginal children in central Australia have attack rates for acute lower respiratory tract infection (ALRI) that are similar to those developing countries. Although mortality much than countries, morbidity is high and ALRI still the leading cause of hospitalization. However, there no data on etiology this population. Methods. We prospectively studied 322 cases 280 admitted hospital. Blood, urine nasopharyngeal aspirate samples were examined evidence bacterial, viral chlamydial...
