BackgroundOver 1 year since the first reported case, true COVID-19 burden in Ethiopia remains unknown due to insufficient surveillance. We aimed investigate seroepidemiology of SARS-CoV-2 among front-line hospital workers and communities Ethiopia.MethodsWe did a population-based, longitudinal cohort study at two tertiary teaching hospitals involving workers, rural residents, urban Jimma Addis Ababa. Hospital were recruited both hospitals, community participants by convenience sampling...
Under-reporting of COVID-19 and the limited information about circulating SARS-CoV-2 variants remain major challenges for many African countries. We analyzed infection dynamics in Addis Ababa Jimma, Ethiopia, focusing on reinfection, immunity, vaccination effects. conducted an antibody serology study spanning August 2020 to July 2022 with five rounds data collection across a population 4723, sequenced PCR-test positive samples, used available test positivity rates, constructed two...
Background: Mobile health (mHealth) is a promising tool for improving outcomes. However, the benefits of using mHealth in palliative care are under studied. Objective: As first step to designing meaningful care-specific mobile applications, this research explored provider perspectives regarding utility care. Design: A qualitative phenomenological study with semistructured interviews. Setting/Subjects: Providers from multiple disciplines working settings at an academic medical center....
Mobile health (mHealth) provides a unique modality for improving access to and awareness of palliative care among patients, families, caregivers from diverse backgrounds. Some mHealth apps exist, both commercially available established by academic researchers. However, the elements family support caregiving tools offered these early is unknown.The objective this scoping review was use social convoy theory describe inclusion functionality family, relationships, in mobile apps.Using Preferred...
This study aimed to retrospectively assess the cost-effectiveness of various COVID-19 vaccination strategies in Ethiopia. It involved healthcare workers (HCWs) and community participants; was conducted through interviews serological tests. Local SARS-CoV-2 variants seroprevalence rates, as well national reports status were also analyzed. A analysis performed determine most economical settings with limited vaccine access high seroprevalence. Before arrival vaccines, 65% HCWs had antibodies...
Abstract Background We assessed the impact of point-of-care (PoC) test-and-treat at birth on clinical outcomes and viral suppression among human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)–positive infants in Mozambique Tanzania. Methods This cluster-randomized trial allocated health facilities to intervention, providing PoC testing antiretroviral treatment (ART) week 4–8, or control, starting these 4–8. The primary outcome was proportions events (mortality, morbidity, retention, virological failure,...
Many mobile health (mHealth) technologies exist for patients with heart failure (HF). However, HF mhealth lacks evidence of efficacy, caregiver involvement, and clinically useful real-time data.We aim to capture care providers' perceived value mHealth, particularly pairing patient-caregiver-generated data clinical intervention inform the design future mHealth.This study is a subanalysis larger qualitative based on interviewing HF, their caregivers, providers. This analysis included...
Background In the United States, millions of adolescents report poor mental health, where 1 in 5 teenagers considers suicide. Reducing stigma and fostering peer support remains critical for positive health interventions programs. Increasingly, digital tools have emerged with great promise, leveraging social networks. Despite potential, limited understanding such comprehensive programs their implementation exist. Objective The objective this study investigates a piloted training program (Be...
Abstract Under-reporting of COVID-19 cases and the lack information about circulating SARS-CoV-2 variants remain major challenges for many African countries to date. To address this, we present a comprehensive analysis dynamics infections in Ethiopia, focusing on reinfection dynamics, (variant-specific) immunity, impact vaccination rates. We conducted an antibody serology study, sequenced positive polymerase chain reaction tests, used available test positivity rates, constructed two...
Background: We assessed the impact of point-of-care (PoC) test-and-treat at birth on clinical outcomes and viral suppression among HIV-positive infants in Mozambique Tanzania. Methods: This cluster-randomized trial allocated public health facilities to intervention, providing PoC-early infant diagnosis antiretroviral treatment from birth, or control, starting these 4-8 weeks. The primary outcome was proportions events (mortality, morbidity, retention) 18 months. also estimated hazard ratios...
<h3>Background</h3> Roughly 1.3 million infants are exposed and 150,000 newly diagnosed with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) annually. Estimates of Vertical HIV transmission (VHT) rates vary by setting. In this study, we assessed the risk factors for VHT among born to women living in Tanzania Mozambique. <h3>Methods</h3> Between October 2019 August 2021, data was collected from pregnant who participated LIFE study [RIA2016MC] at 28 obstetric health facilities up month 3 age all infants....
