  • Mapping inequalities in exclusive breastfeeding in low- and middle-income countries, 2000-2018

    Open AccessNatalia V Bhattacharjee, Lauren E Schaeffer et al.ARTICLENature Human Behaviour2021Cited by: 1References: 32

    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…

  • Global, regional, and national age-sex-specific mortality and life expectancy, 1950–2017

    Open AccessDaniel Dicker, Grant Nguyen et al.ARTICLEThe Lancet2018

    BACKGROUND: Assessments of age-specific mortality and life expectancy have been done by the UN Population Division, Department of Economics and Social Affairs (UNPOP), the United States Census Bureau, WHO, and as part of previous iterations of the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD). Previous iterations of the GBD used population estimates from UNPOP, which were not derived in a way that was internally consistent wit…

  • Healthcare Access and Quality Index based on mortality from causes amenable to personal health care in 195 countries and territories, 1990–2015

    Open AccessRyan M Barber, Nancy Fullman et al.ARTICLEThe Lancet2017

    BACKGROUND: National levels of personal health-care access and quality can be approximated by measuring mortality rates from causes that should not be fatal in the presence of effective medical care (ie, amenable mortality). Previous analyses of mortality amenable to health care only focused on high-income countries and faced several methodological challenges. In the present analysis, we use the highly standardised cause of death and risk factor …

  • Global, regional, and national under-5 mortality, adult mortality, age-specific mortality, and life expectancy, 1970–2016

    Open AccessHaidong Wang, Amanuel Alemu Abajobir et al.ARTICLEThe Lancet2017

    BACKGROUND: Detailed assessments of mortality patterns, particularly age-specific mortality, represent a crucial input that enables health systems to target interventions to specific populations. Understanding how all-cause mortality has changed with respect to development status can identify exemplars for best practice. To accomplish this, the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study 2016 (GBD 2016) estimated age-specific and …

  • P1-153 Assessment of the leading causes of infant mortality in Brazil in 1998 and 2008

    E França, Eduardo Luzia França et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2011

    Brazil had an estimated infant mortality rate (IMR) of 30.4 per 1000 live births in 1998 which declined to 19.8 in 2008; in the latter 68% of all infant deaths occur in the neonatal period, with perinatal causes responsible for 80% of these deaths. This study aims to compare leading causes of infant mortality in Brazil in 1998 and 2008 using a detailed classification of perinatal causes based on similar potential strategy for care or prevention. …
