Vaccination coverage and timeliness among children in Ethiopia
Vaccinations are crucial for preventing and controlling infectious diseases. However, in Ethiopia, a significant proportion of children remain unimmunised. This study aimed to describe vaccination coverage among children in a field site in Ethiopia, and the proportion of children who were vaccinated on time according to the National Vaccination Schedule. We analysed data from a longitudinal study of 7417 children conducted in Ethiopia, which incl…
Prioritising opportunities to strengthen the maternal, newborn, and child health research ecosystem in Ethiopia
Background: Quality research is essential to improving maternal, newborn, and child health (MNCH). Although Ethiopia has rapidly expanded academic and research institutions, duplication of studies, gaps in prioritisation and methods, and limited guidance on utilising evidence inhibit a coordinated approach to informing MNCH policy. We aim to address these challenges by characterising and prioritising the needs and opportunities of the MNCH resear…
Dietary diversity and associated factors among pregnant women in Ethiopia
Background: Dietary diversity (DD) is the consumption of a variety of different and healthy foods that promote an adequate supply of nutrients, a high-quality diet, and the maintenance of optimal health. It is critical to identify the factors that influence pregnant women's eating habits so that relevant interventions can be developed. We estimated the pooled odds ratio of appropriate dietary practices to identify factors that affect the dietary …
The pathway to child survival in the Birhan Cohort, Ethiopia, 2018–22
Background: Child mortality remains a concern in Ethiopia despite the significant achievements in the past three decades. Proper implementation of the existing low-cost interventions can prevent two-thirds of the deaths. Understanding illness recognition, care-seeking behaviours, and barriers that caregivers encounter during a child's illness along care pathways is imperative. We aimed to describe illness recognition and reactions of caregivers o…
Low birth weight risk prediction model
Background: Pregnancy-related complications remain a global challenge, with low- and middle-income countries bearing the highest burden. Predicting the absolute risk of adverse birth outcomes will facilitate the delivery of early preventative and therapeutic interventions. We aimed to developed and internally validate a risk prediction model for low birth weight (LBW) in Ethiopia. Methods: We conducted a prognostic study using a prospective mater…
Treatment-seeking practices of caregivers for children aged less than five years old with diarrhoea in low- and middle-income countries
Incidence of diarrhoeal disease among children aged less than five years in low- and middle-income countries
Birth outcomes and survival by sex among newborns and children under 2 in the Birhan Cohort
Introduction Despite the progress in reducing child mortality, the rate remains high, particularly in sub-Saharan African countries. Limited data exist on child survival and other birth outcomes by sex. This study compared survival rates and birth outcomes by sex among neonates and children under 2 in Ethiopia. Methods Women who gave birth after 28 weeks of gestation and their newborns were included in the analysis. Survival probabilities were es…
Utilisation and associated socio-demographic factors related to the maternal continuum of care in sub-Saharan Africa
Prevalence of diarrhoea and treatment-seeking practices among children <2 years of age in the Birhan cohort, Ethiopia, 2018–19
Background: Estimating the proportion of children with diarrhoea and those who are taken in as inpatients or outpatients is important for policy planning, resource allocation, and to evaluate the effectiveness of diarrhoea prevention and control interventions. We aimed to estimate the proportion of children <2 years of age with diarrhoea, explore their treatment-seeking practices, and identify factors associated with both diarrhoea and treatment …
Building capacity for maternal, newborn and child health research in low-income country settings
Background: There is a need to build research capacity to improve maternal, newborn, and child health (MNCH) in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). To address this gap, we co-designed the HaSET (meaning 'happiness' in Amharic) MNCH Research Fellowship programme for academics and policymakers in collaboration with the Ministry of Health (MOH) and academic institutions in Ethiopia. Methods: Based on interviews and focus group discussions rega…
Antenatal care coverage in a low-resource setting
Antenatal care (ANC) coverage estimates commonly rely on self-reported data, which may carry biases. Leveraging prospectively collected longitudinal data from the Birhan field site and its pregnancy and birth cohort, the Birhan Cohort, this study aimed to estimate the coverage of ANC, minimizing assumptions and biases due to self-reported information and describing retention patterns in ANC in rural Amhara, Ethiopia. The study population were wom…
Setting a research agenda to advance maternal, newborn, and child health in Ethiopia
Background: Critical to the improvement of maternal, newborn, and child health (MNCH) in Ethiopia - where 14 000 mothers die from pregnancy-, childbirth-, or postpartum-related complications each year - is high-quality research and its effective translation into policy and practice. While Ethiopia has rapidly expanded the number of institutions that train and conduct MNCH research, the absence of a shared research agenda inhibits a coordinated ap…
