Inequality trajectories in avoidable under-5 mortality in Colombia
Despite progress in Colombia's overall health indicators, substantial inequalities in avoidable under-five mortality persist across its regions. This study examines the trajectories of avoidable mortality rate in childhood (AMRC) across Colombian departments from 2000 to 2022, highlighting territorial inequalities and their socioeconomic determinants. A group-based trajectory analysis was applied to avoidable under-five mortality rates across 33 …
Long-term inequalities in health among older Mexican adults
The relationship between socioeconomic level and health outcomes in older people has been widely studied, but less information about health inequalities associated with gender and place of residence exists. Also, there is scarce evidence of longitudinal inequalities, particularly in countries from the global south. This study aimed to describe the longitudinal patterns of health inequalities associated with wealth, gender, and residence area amon…
No seguir ciegos a la equidad
La Región de las Américas ha experimentado históricamente desigualdades sociales enraizadas en el colonialismo, las cuales se reflejan y reproducen en el ámbito de la salud. La incursión de la pandemia de COVID-19 afectó a toda la Región, pero golpeó con mayor fuerza a los grupos socialmente más desaventajados, y agravó las inequidades en salud. Bajo la premisa que las pandemias no son fenómenos socialmente neutrales, en este informe especial se …
Real-world effectiveness of Covid-19 vaccines among Colombian adults
COVID-19 vaccines have been essential for reducing the impact of the pandemic; nevertheless, population-based data under real-life conditions are needed to compare their effectiveness in various contexts. The objective of this study was to estimate the effectiveness of vaccines in preventing hospitalization and death from COVID-19 in Colombia under real-life conditions among people aged 18 years and older, according to sex, age, confirmed history…
Years of life lost to Covid-19 in 49 countries
Specific mortality rates have been widely used to monitor the main impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic; however, a more meaningful measure is the Years of Life Lost (YLL) due to the disease, considering it takes into account the premature nature of each death. We estimated the YLL due to COVID-19 between January 2020 and December 2021 in 49 countries for which information was available, developing an analytical method that mathematically refines tha…
Incorporating migrants into National Covid-19 Vaccination Plans in Latin America
Vaccination against COVID-19 is an essential public health tool for pandemic control. Inclusion of migrants in COVID-19 vaccination is not only ethically necessary from a right-to-health perspective but also technically indispensable for disease control. This study aimed to characterize the inclusion of international migrants, refugees, and asylum seekers in COVID-19 vaccination policies in Latin American countries that have the greatest recent i…
Prenatal care of Venezuelans in Colombia
OBJECTIVES To explore the experiences of irregular (undocumented) Venezuelan migrants in accessing prenatal health services in Colombia and to examine the economic, social, and cultural resources mobilized by them to gain access to care. METHODS Data was retrieved from the qualitative component of a multi-method research conducted with pregnant immigrants in Barranquilla, Colombia, between 2018 and 2019, and triangulated with a review of regulati…
Muertes evitables en la niñez
Objetivo. Determinar la proporción de muertes potencialmente evitables en niños menores de cinco años de Colombia, según departamento y municipio de residencia, en el período 2000-2018. Métodos. Se llevó a cabo un estudio ecológico en múltiples grupos y longitudinal. Se analizaron 33 departamentos y 1 118 municipios en 19 años. Se clasificaron y diferenciaron las muertes evitables (tratables, prevenibles y mixtas) de las difícilmente evitables y …
Socioeconomic inequalities associated with mortality for Covid-19 in Colombia
BACKGROUND: After 8 months of the COVID-19 pandemic, Latin American countries have some of the highest rates in COVID-19 mortality. Despite being one of the most unequal regions of the world, there is a scarce report of the effect of socioeconomic conditions on COVID-19 mortality in their countries. We aimed to identify the effect of some socioeconomic inequality-related factors on COVID-19 mortality in Colombia. METHODS: We conducted a survival …
Lista de causas de muerte potencialmente evitables en la niñez
La mortalidad evitable es un indicador clave para la toma de decisiones en salud pública, que considera las muertes que podrían haberse evitado mediante la prevención de enfermedades o la atención en los servicios de salud. En Colombia no se cuenta con un inventario específico que permita estimar la magnitud, distribución y evolución de la mortalidad evitable en la niñez. El objetivo fue proponer una lista de causas de muerte potencialmente evita…
