Magnitude of precancerous cervical lesions in a fragile and conflict-affected setting
Cervical cancer remains a major public health concern, ranking as the fourth leading cause of cancer-related deaths among women globally and the second in Ethiopia. Limited access to routine screening, exacerbated by the Tigray war (November 2020–November 2022), has contributed to delayed detection and treatment. This study aimed to identify factors associated with precancerous cervical lesions among women screened in a fragile and conflict-affec…
Medication Safety Events After Acute Myocardial Infarction Among Veterans Treated at VA Versus Non-VA Hospitals
INTRODUCTION: Fragmentation of health care across systems can contribute to mistakes in prescribing and filling medications among patients treated for myocardial infarction (MI). We sought to compare omissions, duplications, and delays in outpatient medications used for secondary prevention among veterans treated for MI at Veterans Affairs (VA) versus non-VA hospitals. METHODS: We utilized national VA and Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Service…
Impact of Race and Ethnicity on Severe Hypoglycemia Associated with Sulfonylurea Use for Type 2 Diabetes among Veterans
Prevalence and multi-level factors associated with acute malnutrition among children aged 6–59 months from war affected communities of Tigray, Northern Ethiopia, 2021
The burden of acute malnutrition is a severe public health problem in Tigray. To prevent the untimely suffering and death of children, regular nutrition screening, speedy, and appropriate referral of all malnourished children to nutritional services and large-scale humanitarian assistance including access to food; nutrition supplies; water, sanitation and hygiene supplies; and health care in a timely manner are required. In the prevailing armed c…
Impact of a double catastrophe, war and Covid-19, on health service utilization of a tertiary care hospital in Tigray
The present study has clearly indicated that the war and COVID-19 have led to a large reduction in admissions, outpatient attendance, and emergency department visits. The evidence from this study suggests that due to this double catastrophe, thousands of patients could not gain access to healthcare, with probable negative consequences. Governments and organizations should implement measures to buttress the healthcare system to maintain pre-war st…

The impact of war on the health system of the Tigray region in Ethiopia: a response to complaints
Geographical distribution of the health crisis of war in the Tigray region of Ethiopia
War destroys health facilities and displaces health workers. It has a devastating impact on population health, especially in vulnerable populations. We assess the geographical distribution of the impact of war on healthcare delivery by comparing the pre-November 2020 and the November to June 2021 status of health facilities in the Tigray region of Ethiopia. Data were collected from February 2021 to June 2021, during an active civil war and an imp…
The international humanitarian response to famine in Tigray, Ethiopia
The Tigray crisis in Ethiopia is a grave humanitarian catastrophe with causes and consequences that resemble the Nigerian Civil War that ended with the defeat of secessionist Biafra five decades ago. As in the Biafra example, an ethnically distinct and embattled enclave is surrounded by hostile forces and cut off from commerce of any kind, producing starvation, forced migrant encampments, and pervasive dependence on externally provided food relie…
The impact of war on the health system of the Tigray region in Ethiopia
The war in Tigray region of Ethiopia that started in November 2020 and is still ongoing has brought enormous damage to the health system. This analysis provides an assessment of the health system before and during the war. Evidence of damage was compiled from November 2020 to June 2021 from various reports by the interim government of Tigray, and also by international non-governmental organisations. Comparison was made with data from the prewar c…
Low acceptance of intimate partner violence by pregnant women in Uganda predicts higher uptake of HIV self-testing among their male partners
Introduction : Heterosexual couples are at high risk for HIV acquisition in sub-Saharan Africa, and HIV self-testing (HST) is an additional approach to expand access to HIV testing services. However, it is not well known how gender equality is associated with HST. Methods : We used intervention-arm data from a cluster-randomised controlled HST intervention trial ( N = 1 618) conducted in Uganda to determine the association between attitudes towar…
The Magnitude and Potential Causes of Sex Disparities in Statin Therapy in Veterans with Type 2 Diabetes
Examining Racial Differences in Access to Primary Care for People Living with Lupus
Our data show that middle-aged minorities living with lupus and on public health insurance have a higher likelihood of poor access to primary care. Health care workers and policymakers should develop plans to identify patients, explore issues affecting access, and place patients with a community health worker or social worker to promote better access to primary care
Racial–Geographic Disparity in Lipid Management in Veterans with Type 2 Diabetes
Purpose: The prevalence of diabetes in U.S. veterans (20.5%) is nearly three times that of the general population. Minority veterans have higher rates of diabetes compared with their counterparts and urban/rural residence is also associated with uncontrolled cholesterol. However, the interplay between urban/rural residence and race/ethnicity on cholesterol control is unclear. Methods: Veterans Health Administration Corporate Data Warehouse and Ce…
Gender Disparities in Receipt of HIV Testing Results in Six Sub-Saharan African Countries
Purpose: Receipt of HIV testing results is vital for individuals to know their status and make decisions that would improve their access to HIV prevention, treatment, and care. The objective of this study is to determine the association of HIV testing and receipt of results with three key exposure variables (HIV stigma, HIV knowledge, and media use) stratified by gender and country. Methods: Data from a random sample of adults aged 15–49 years fr…
Geographic Disparities in Mortality Risk Within a Racially Diverse Sample of U.S. Veterans with Traumatic Brain Injury
Purpose: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a signature injury among the U.S. veterans. Hispanic U.S. veterans diagnosed with TBI have been found to have higher risk-adjusted mortality. This study examined the adjusted association of geographic location with all-cause mortality in 114,593 veterans diagnosed with TBI between January 1, 2000 and December 31, 2010, and followed through December 31, 2014. Methods: National Veterans Health Administration…

Racial/Ethnic Differences in Combat- and Non–Combat-Associated Traumatic Brain Injury Severity in the Veterans Health Administration
Objectives. We examined the association between traumatic brain injury (TBI) severity and combat exposure by race/ethnicity. Methods. We estimated logit models of the fully adjusted association of combat exposure with TBI severity in separate race/ethnicity models for a national cohort of 132 995 veterans with TBI between 2004 and 2010. Results. Of veterans with TBI, 25.8% had served in a combat zone. Mild TBI increased from 11.5% to 40.3%, where…
