    Open AccessEmmanuel Banchani, E Y Tenkorang et al.ARTICLEAgeing and Society2024References: 58

    Anecdotal evidence suggests that non-communicable diseases (NCDs) contribute substantially to mortality, morbidity and disability in Ghana. Nonetheless, no data are presently available on Ghanaians with disability from major NCDs, such as hypertension, diabetes and stroke. Using data from the 2007/2008 Ghana World Health Organization Study on Global Ageing and Adult Health (SAGE) and applying ordinary least squares techniques, the prevalence of a…

    Open AccessEmmanuel Banchani, E Y Tenkorang et al.ARTICLEHealth & Social Care in the…2020References: 5

    Hypertension is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality among women in sub-Saharan Africa. Although research on the relationship between individual-level socioeconomic status (SES) and hypertension exists, to the best of our knowledge, limited empirical studies examined the effects of neighbourhood-level SES/wealth on the risks of living with hypertension in Ghana. Using data from the 2009 Women's Health Study of Accra (WHSA-II), and…

    BACKGROUND: Medical inpatients are at risk for suboptimal health outcomes from adverse drug events and under-use of evidence-based therapies. We sought to determine whether collaborative care including a team-based clinical pharmacist improves the quality of prescribed drug therapy and reduces hospital readmission. METHODS: Multicenter, quasi-randomized, controlled clinical trial. Consecutive patients admitted to 2 internal and 2 family medicine …

  • Are international differences in the outcomes of acute coronary syndromes apparent or real? A multilevel analysis

    Wei-Ching Chang, William K Midodzi et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2005Cited by: 2References: 31

    Study objective: International variation in the outcomes of patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS) has been well reported. The relative contributions of patient, hospital, and country level factors on clinical outcomes, however, remain unclear, and thus, was the objective of this study. Design: Multilevel logistic regression models were developed for death/(re)infarction (MI) at 30 days and death in one year, with patients (1st level) neste…
