Rates and causes of neonatal and under-five mortality
Background: Neonatal and under-five mortality rates are critical indicators of a country's health status and progress toward Sustainable Development Goals. Despite a decline in mortality rates globally, preventable child deaths continue to occur, particularly in Pakistan, which has one of the highest child mortality rates in the world. In this analysis, we present the latest cause-specific neonatal and under-five mortality estimates determined th…
Exploring mortality patterns in Pakistani children and adolescents aged 5–19
Background: While under-five mortality has declined by approximately 50% globally since 2000, mortality among older children and adolescents has fallen by only 31% since 1990. The age group 5-19-year-olds constitute over a third of Pakistan's population, yet estimates of mortality in this population, which are necessary for identifying preventable causes of death and developing interventions to improve health outcomes, have been limited. We aimed…
Understanding stillbirths and maternal deaths in Pakistan
Background: The global impact of stillbirths and maternal deaths is enormous, with over two million deaths occurring each year, affecting public health outcomes and global development practices. Despite Pakistan's commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals, the country faces a substantial burden of stillbirths and maternal deaths. However, data on cause-specific mortality and the timing of deaths remains limited. In this context, we aimed to…
A verbal and social autopsy study to improve estimates of mortality determinants in Pakistan
Background: Reducing newborn, child, adolescent, and maternal mortality is a global priority, yet Pakistan continues to bear a high burden of preventable deaths. Routine civil registration does not capture causes or social determinants for most of these deaths. The verbal and social autopsy (VASA) methodology fills this gap by combining symptom-based identification of the cause of death with structured assessment of social and care-seeking factor…
Evidence of rapid rise in population immunity from Sars-CoV-2 subclinical infections through pre-vaccination serial serosurveys in Pakistan
Background: Understanding factors associated with protective immunity against emerging viral infections is crucial for global health. Pakistan reported its first COVID-19 case on 26 February 2020, but experienced relatively low COVID-19-related morbidity and mortality between 2020 and 2022. The underlying reasons for this remain unclear, and our research aims to shed light on this crucial issue. Methods: We conducted a serial population-based ser…
A mixed methods study to assess the effectiveness of food-based interventions to prevent stunting among children under-five years in Districts Thatta and Sujawal, Sindh Province, Pakistan
NCT02422953 . Registered on April 15, 2015
A study to evaluate the acceptability, feasibility and impact of packaged interventions (“Diarrhea Pack”) for prevention and treatment of childhood diarrhea in rural Pakistan
The intervention was well accepted and had a productive impact on the uptake of ORS and zinc and reduction in the use of antibiotics. It is feasible to deliver interventions such as diarrhea pack through community health workers in community settings. The intervention has the potential to be scaled up at national level
