Integration of azithromycin mass administration to 1–11-month-old children into an existing health platform to reduce child mortality
BACKGROUND: Azithromycin mass drug administration (MDA) to ages 1-59 months can reduce childhood mortality; however, more evidence is needed to support targeting a narrower age range of 1-11 months. This trial assesses the efficacy of azithromycin MDA to 1-11-month-old children in reducing mortality in a real-world setting with integration of vitamin A delivery within the established Child Health Days platform in Burkina Faso. METHODS: Mortalite …
Time-varying factors predicting adolescent healthcare needs and utilization in a rural Burkina Faso cohort
Adolescent healthcare in low-income countries receives little attention despite their growing population share, significant health challenges and the critical role of youth in shaping future health outcomes. Current research remains largely cross-sectional, limiting capacity to assess causal processes relating to care need and use. We used longitudinal data to examine adolescent need for and use of healthcare in rural Burkina Faso, to identify se…
Caregiver Screening for Relapse Among Children Recently Recovered From Severe Acute Malnutrition
Relapse to acute malnutrition after recovery from severe acute malnutrition (SAM) is common. However, most programmatic resources are devoted to the acute phase of recovery, and fewer interventions are available for children recently discharged from outpatient nutritional programs. We evaluated the feasibility of training caregivers to screen for relapse using mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC) tapes for reducing time to detection of relapse amon…
The role of seasonal malaria chemoprevention in the effect of azithromycin on child mortality
The objective of this study was to examine whether the effect of mass Azithromycin (AZ) distribution on all-cause mortality among children under 5 varies with seasonal malaria chemoprevention (SMC) administration season or coverage. This was a secondary analysis of the Community Health with Azithromycin Trial (CHAT), a cluster-randomized, placebo-controlled trial of twice-yearly AZ treatment in 341 communities in the Nouna District, Burkina Faso.…
A Cross-Sectional Study of Sexual Health and Well-Being in Married or Cohabitating Middle-Aged and Older Adults in Nouna, Burkina Faso
Sexual health and well-being is important for middle-aged and older adults, but knowledge is limited on prevalence and determinants in countries in Sub-Saharan Africa. We analyzed cross-sectional data collected in 2021 from married or cohabitating adults age ≥ 40 in Nouna, Burkina Faso. Sexual health and well-being were measured using the Sexual Relationships and Activities Questionnaire. Descriptive statistics and multivariable logistic models w…
Mass azithromycin for prevention of child mortality among children with acute malnutrition
Children with acute malnutrition are at high risk of morality. Mass azithromycin distribution reduces all-cause mortality among children aged 1–59 months, and effects may be greater in underweight infants. Here, we evaluate the efficacy of azithromycin for reducing all-cause mortality in children aged 6–59 months with acute malnutrition (mid-upper arm circumference, MUAC, P -value for interaction on the relative scale = 0.09; P -value for interac…
Neonatal anthropometric indicators of infant growth and mortality in Burkina Faso
Objective: Most evidence supporting screening for undernutrition is for children aged 6–59 months. However, the highest risk of mortality and highest incidence of wasting occurs in the first 6 months of life. We evaluated relationships between neonatal anthropometric indicators, including birth weight, weight-for-age Z -score (WAZ), weight-for-length Z-score (WLZ), length-for-age Z -score (LAZ) and mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC) and mortality…
Infant mortality and growth failure after oral azithromycin among low birthweight and underweight neonates
Background Low birthweight (birthweight Methods Infants aged 8–27 days of age weighing ≥2500 g at enrollment in Burkina Faso were randomized 1:1 to a single, oral dose of azithromycin (20 mg/kg) or matching placebo. We evaluated mortality and anthropometric outcomes in four subgroups: 1) both low birthweight and underweight at enrollment; 2) low birthweight-only; 3) underweight-only; 4) neither low birthweight nor underweight. Findings Of 21,832 …
Prevalence and correlates of adolescent self-injurious thoughts and behaviors
Self-injurious thoughts and behaviors (SITBs) are a growing concern among youth in sub-Saharan Africa, but their prevalence and correlates in this region are poorly understood. We therefore examined self-reported SITBs in a population-representative sample of youth in rural Burkina Faso. We used interviews from 1,538 adolescents aged 12 to 20 years living in 10 villages and 1 town in northwestern Burkina Faso. Adolescents were asked about their e…
Simplified dosing of oral azithromycin for children 1–11 months old in child survival programmes
BACKGROUND: To facilitate mass distribution of azithromycin, trachoma control programmes use height instead of weight to determine dose for children 6 months to 15 years old. WHO has recommended azithromycin distribution to children 1-11 months old to reduce mortality in high mortality settings under carefully monitored conditions. Weight was used to determine dose in children 1-5 months old in studies of azithromycin distribution for child survi…
Older persons experiences of healthcare in rural Burkina Faso
Ensuring responsive healthcare which meets patient expectations and generates trust is important to increase rates of access and retention. This need is important for aging populations where non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are a growing cause of morbidity and mortality. We performed a cross-sectional household survey including socio-demographic; morbidities; and patient-reported health system utilization, responsiveness, and quality outcomes in …
How does baseline anthropometry affect anthropometric outcomes in children receiving treatment for severe acute malnutrition? A secondary analysis of a randomized controlled trial
Mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC) < 11.5 cm and weight-for-height Z-score (WHZ) < -3 are used for screening for severe acute malnutrition (SAM). Underweight and concurrent wasting and stunting may better target those at the highest risk of mortality. We compared anthropometric outcomes in children enrolled in a trial of antibiotics for SAM based on categories of baseline anthropometry, including indicators for programme admission (WHZ < -3, MUAC…
Impairment in Activities of Daily Living and Unmet Need for Care Among Older Adults
Prevalence of ADL impairment and unmet need was high in this setting. Variation in impairment across the population highlighted key groups for future interventions. Unmet need for care was highest in middle-aged adults, indicating a gap in care provision
Epidemiology of multimorbidity in conditions of extreme poverty
Introduction: Multimorbidity is a health issue of increasing importance worldwide, and is likely to become particularly problematic in low-income countries (LICs) as they undergo economic, demographic and epidemiological transitions. Knowledge of the burden and consequences of multimorbidity in LICs is needed to inform appropriate interventions. Methods: A cross-sectional household survey collected data on morbidities and frailty, disability, qua…
Using grip strength to compute physical health-adjusted old age dependency ratios
The standard approach for comparing the potential challenges of population aging across countries based on conventional old-age dependency ratios (OADR) does not account for cross-population differences in health, functional capacity or disability, despite their importance for labor force participation and dependency more broadly. We investigate how OADRs observed across selected low-, middle-, and high-income countries change if population diffe…
