Association of disability and 12-year all-cause and cause-specific mortality
INTRODUCTION: Disability is linked to poor health outcomes and increased mortality, yet evidence on this relationship in sub-Saharan Africa is limited. This study investigated the association between disability and all-cause and cause-specific mortality among older adults in Uganda. METHODS: The analysis was based on longitudinal data from the Wellbeing of Older People Study, an open cohort of individuals aged at least 50 years and followed over …
From Cochrane to Nice
Evidence-based medicine (EBM) has become the dominant mode of validation in health research, with the randomized control trial (RCT) the gold standard tool for treatment evaluation. This article traces the slow but certain rise of the RCT in Britain since 1948, where evidence was inextricably linked with management of the National Health Service, socialized and free at the point of use. It uses the 1971 publication and reception of epidemiologist…

Impact Evaluations for Progressing Disability-Inclusive Development
People with disabilities experience stark inequities across the spectrum of development priorities. Yet they are rarely prioritised by development programmes. The poor evidence base for ‘what works’ for disability-inclusive development is a major challenge to taking action and advancing the meaningful inclusion of people with disabilities. The Programme for Evidence to Inform Disability Action (PENDA) was established to undertake high-quality imp…
How inclusive were strategies to prevent the spread of Covid-19 for people with disabilities? Evidence from qualitative research in eight low- and middle-income countries
Consequently, the pandemic compounded existing barriers and inaccessibility experienced by people with disabilities and contributed to inequality
Adapting and pilot testing a tool to assess the accessibility of primary health facilities for people with disabilities in Luuka District, Uganda
Overall accessibility scores were low, with many opportunities for low-cost improvement at the facility level. We did not identify any issues with the implementation of the tool, suggesting few further adaptations are required for its future use in this setting

Current recommendations within integrated community case management (iCCM) programmes advise community health workers (CHWs) to refer cases of chest indrawing pneumonia to health facilities for treatment, but many children die due to delays or non-compliance with referral advice. Recent revision of World Health Organization (WHO) pneumonia guidelines and integrated management of childhood illness chart booklet recommend oral amoxicillin for treat…
