Assessing quality of life in displaced children on Lesvos using PROMIS
Displaced children report high levels of anger, anxiety, pain behavior, and depressive symptoms, a prolonged stay in the camps even worsens these outcomes. This underscores the need for tailored interventions to enhance the overall well-being of this vulnerable population
Addressing the challenges of estimating the target population in calculation of routine infant immunization coverage in Kenya
Target population estimation for immunization coverage calculations from census data is often inaccurate. This study aimed to evaluate the accuracy of the traditional census extrapolation method in comparison with three alternative approaches: the Cohort-Component Population Projections Method (CCPPM), using the Expanded Program on Immunisation (EPI) numerators – BCG and DTP1 doses as denominators, and estimates derived from first antenatal care …
The burden of neurological impairments and disability in older children measured in disability-adjusted life-years in rural Kenya
Neurological impairment (NI) and disability are common in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), but the overall burden in terms of morbidity and mortality in older children remains unknown. We estimated the burden of NI in disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), years of life lost to premature mortality (YLLs), and years lived with disability (YLDs) for older children in a defined rural setting in Kenya. We used empirical and literature estimates to model th…
Poor Adherence to the WHO Guidelines on Feeding Practices Increases the Risk for Respiratory Infections in Surinamese Preschool Children
Poor feeding practices in infants and young children may lead to malnutrition, which, in turn, is associated with an increased risk of infectious diseases, such as respiratory tract infections (RTIs), a leading cause of under-five mortality. We explored the association between RTIs and the WHO infant and young child feeding (IYCF) indicators: minimum dietary diversity (MDD), minimum meal frequency (MMF), and minimum acceptable diet (MAD), among i…
Incidence and predictors of hospital readmission in children presenting with severe anaemia in Uganda and Malawi

The effect of health insurance and health facility-upgrades on hospital deliveries in rural Nigeria
BACKGROUND: Access to quality obstetric care is considered essential to reducing maternal and new-born mortality. We evaluated the effect of the introduction of a multifaceted voluntary health insurance programme on hospital deliveries in rural Nigeria. METHODS: We used an interrupted time-series design, including a control group. The intervention consisted of providing voluntary health insurance covering primary and secondary healthcare, includi…
