  • Mitigating the impact of Covid-19 on primary healthcare interventions for the reduction of under-5 mortality in Bangladesh

    Open AccessAlemayehu Amberbir, Fauzia Akhter Huda et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    The COVID-19 pandemic posed unprecedented challenges and threats to health systems, particularly affecting delivery of evidence-based interventions (EBIs) to reduce under-5 mortality (U5M) in resource-limited settings such as Bangladesh. We explored the level of disruption of these EBIs, strategies and contextual factors associated with preventing or mitigating service disruptions, and how previous efforts supported the work to maintain EBIs duri…

  • Evidence of health system resilience in primary health care for preventing under-five mortality in Rwanda and Bangladesh

    Open AccessAmelia VanderZanden, Alemayehu Amberbir et al.ARTICLEJournal of Global Health2024

    Background: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic led to disruptions of health service delivery in many countries; some were more resilient in either limiting or rapidly responding to the disruption than others. We used mixed methods implementation research to understand factors and strategies associated with resiliency in Rwanda and Bangladesh, focussing on how evidence-based interventions targeting amenable under-five mortality that …

  • Causes of death and predictors of childhood mortality in Rwanda

    Open AccessNeil Gupta, Lisa R Hirschhorn et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2018

    In the context of rapidly declining childhood mortality in Rwanda and increased access to health care, we found a large proportion of remaining deaths occur at home, with home deliveries still representing a significant risk factor for neonatal death. The major causes of death at a population level remain largely avoidable communicable diseases. Household characteristics associated with death included well-established socioeconomic and care-seeki…

  • Global, regional, and national disability-adjusted life-years (Dalys) for 315 diseases and injuries and healthy life expectancy (Hale), 1990–2015

    Open AccessNicholas J Kassebaum, Megha Arora et al.ARTICLEThe Lancet2016

    BACKGROUND: Healthy life expectancy (HALE) and disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) provide summary measures of health across geographies and time that can inform assessments of epidemiological patterns and health system performance, help to prioritise investments in research and development, and monitor progress toward the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We aimed to provide updated HALE and DALYs for geographies worldwide and evaluate ho…

  • Global, regional, and national life expectancy, all-cause mortality, and cause-specific mortality for 249 causes of death, 1980–2015

    Open AccessHaidong Wang, Mohsen Naghavi et al.ARTICLEThe Lancet2016

    BACKGROUND: Improving survival and extending the longevity of life for all populations requires timely, robust evidence on local mortality levels and trends. The Global Burden of Disease 2015 Study (GBD 2015) provides a comprehensive assessment of all-cause and cause-specific mortality for 249 causes in 195 countries and territories from 1980 to 2015. These results informed an in-depth investigation of observed and expected mortality patterns bas…
