Estimating the basic reproduction number of measles in low-and middle-income settings using 172 seroprevalence studies: A modelling approach
The basic reproduction number, R 0 , is an epidemiological measure to describe the transmissibility of infectious diseases and evaluate the potential effect of interventions. Measles R 0 has historically been considered to be between 12–18, with contextual factors contributing to its heterogeneity, but has rarely been estimated using data across multiple countries. Our study aims to estimate measles R 0 in low- and middle-income countries using a…
Mapping inequalities in exclusive breastfeeding in low- and middle-income countries, 2000-2018
Exclusive breastfeeding (EBF)-giving infants only breast-milk for the first 6 months of life-is a component of optimal breastfeeding practices effective in preventing child morbidity and mortality. EBF practices are known to vary by population and comparable subnational estimates of prevalence and progress across low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) are required for planning policy and interventions. Here we present a geospatial analysis of E…
Measuring universal health coverage based on an index of effective coverage of health services in 204 countries and territories, 1990–2019: A systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study…
BACKGROUND: Achieving universal health coverage (UHC) involves all people receiving the health services they need, of high quality, without experiencing financial hardship. Making progress towards UHC is a policy priority for both countries and global institutions, as highlighted by the agenda of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and WHO's Thirteenth General Programme of Work (GPW13). Measuring effective coverage at the health-system le…
Global burden of 369 diseases and injuries in 204 countries and territories, 1990–2019: A systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019
BACKGROUND: In an era of shifting global agendas and expanded emphasis on non-communicable diseases and injuries along with communicable diseases, sound evidence on trends by cause at the national level is essential. The Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) provides a systematic scientific assessment of published, publicly available, and contributed data on incidence, prevalence, and mortality for a mutually exclusive…
Impacto de los programas de salud ERA y GES en la mortalidad por neumonía adquirida en la comunidad en personas de 65 años o más en Chile
Objetivo. Evaluar el impacto del Programa de Enfermedades Respiratorias del Adulto (ERA) y el Régimen General de Garantías Explícitas en Salud (GES) en la mortalidad por neumonía adquirida en la comunidad (NAC) en personas de 65 años o más en Chile. Métodos. En este estudio ecológico se calcularon las tasas anuales y trimestrales de mortalidad por NAC en personas de 65 a 79 años y de 80 años o más entre 1990 y 2014. Las fuentes de información fue…
