The efficacy of a single dose of oral azithromycin in labour to prevent infections in infants and birthing parents in Fiji
INTRODUCTION: Our Bulabula MaPei trial of azithromycin administered during labour in Fiji found no evidence of a reduction in the primary endpoint of infant skin and soft tissue infections (SSTIs) at 3 months of age. Here, we determine the efficacy of this intervention on several secondary outcomes. METHODS: This randomised controlled trial included healthy pregnant adults presenting to hospital in labour. Prior to delivery, participants were ran…
Financial burden of severe childhood illness on households in Lao People’s Democratic Republic
Lao People’s Democratic Republic (PDR) introduced a National Health Insurance (NHI) scheme in 2016 to all provinces except Vientiane Capital City. We describe the financial impact on households related to treatment of severe childhood illness at a hospital covered by NHI, and one without NHI. We conducted a prospective cohort study (2022–2024) in Lao PDR of children aged one month to 10% annual household expenditure) rates and analysed relative r…
Keeping kids in school
Background: In 2021, the Australian Government Department of Health commissioned a consortium of modelling groups to generate evidence assisting the transition from a goal of no community COVID-19 transmission to 'living with COVID-19', with adverse health and social consequences limited by vaccination and other measures. Due to the extended school closures over 2020-21, maximizing face-to-face teaching was a major objective during this transitio…
Risk factors for Sars-CoV-2 infection during the early stages of the Covid-19 pandemic
Systematic review on the impact of the pneumococcal conjugate vaccine ten valent (PCV10) or thirteen valent (PCV13) on all-cause, radiologically confirmed and severe pneumonia hospitalisation rates an…
Factors associated with pneumococcal nasopharyngeal carriage
Pneumococcal disease is a major contributor to global childhood morbidity and mortality and is more common in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) than in high-income countries. Pneumococcal carriage is a prerequisite for pneumococcal disease. Pneumococcal conjugate vaccine reduces vaccine-type carriage and disease. However, pneumococcal carriage and disease persist, and it is important to identify other potentially modifiable factors associa…
Aetiology of childhood pneumonia in low- and middle-income countries in the era of vaccination
Slow progress towards pneumonia control for children in low-and-middle income countries as measured by pneumonia indicators
Quality of care for children with acute respiratory infections in health facilities
Background: Severe childhood pneumonia requires treatment in hospital by trained health care workers. It is therefore important to determine if health facilities provide quality health services for children with acute respiratory infections (ARI), including pneumonia. Using established indicators from WHO to measure quality of care (QoC) as a reference standard, this review aims to evaluate how well existing tools assess QoC for children presenti…
Assessing the quality of care for children attending health facilities
Indirect effects of 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine on pneumococcal carriage in children hospitalised with acute respiratory infection despite heterogeneous vaccine coverage
INTRODUCTION: Empiric data on indirect (herd) effects of pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCVs) in settings with low or heterogeneous PCV coverage are limited. The indirect effects of PCV, which benefits both vaccinated and non-vaccinated individuals, are mediated by reductions in vaccine-type (VT) carriage (a prerequisite for disease). The aim of this study among hospitalised children in Lao People's Democratic Republic (Lao PDR) is to determine…
Implementation of a national school-based Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine campaign in Fiji
This is the first reported experience of HPV introduction in a Pacific Island nation. In a challenging environment with limited community knowledge of HPV and cervical cancer, media controversy and a short lead-time for community education, Fiji has implemented an HPV vaccine campaign that was largely acceptable to the community and achieved a high level of participation. Community sensitisation and education is critical and should include a focu…
Health seeking behavior for cervical cancer in Ethiopia
Lack of awareness and health seeking behavior for cervical cancer was common due to misconceptions about the cause of the disease. Profound social consequences and exclusion were common. Access to services for diagnosis and treatment were poor for a variety of psycho-social, and health system reasons. Prior to the introduction or scale up of cervical cancer prevention programs, socio-cultural barriers and health service related factors that influ…
