Socioeconomic inequalities in infant mortality in Colombia: A nationwide cohort study during 10 years
BACKGROUND: Although socioeconomic inequalities in infant mortality are well-documented globally, there is limited evidence from longitudinal studies, particularly in low-income and middle-income countries. This study investigates the association between maternal socioeconomic conditions, health system affiliation and infant mortality, and it measures the related socioeconomic inequalities in Colombia over a decade. METHODS: A retrospective cohor…

Tendencias en la mortalidad por accidentes de tránsito en motocicleta en Colombia, 2008-2021
Objetivo. Identificar las tendencias de mortalidad por accidentes de tránsito en motocicleta en Colombia entre los años 2008 y 2021. Métodos. Se realizó un estudio observacional y descriptivo de tendencias de la mortalidad por accidentes de tránsito en motocicleta a partir de los registros oficiales de defunciones entre 2008 y 2021. Se efectuó un análisis de regresión Jointpoint Poisson para detectar los puntos de inflexión en las tasas de mortal…
Plan de seguro de salud: Factor que más contribuye a las desigualdades en la mortalidad por Covid-19 en Colombia
Objetivo. Cuantificar las desigualdades socioeconómicas en la mortalidad por COVID-19 en Colombia y evaluar en qué medida el tipo de seguro de salud, la carga de enfermedades concomitantes, la zona de residencia y el origen étnico explican estas desigualdades. Métodos. Se analizaron los datos de una cohorte retrospectiva de casos de COVID-19. Se estimó el índice relativo de desigualdad (IRD) y el índice de desigualdad basado en la pendiente (IDP)…
Global control of Covid-19: Good vaccines may not suffice
The COVID-19 pandemic has unveiled health and socioeconomic inequities around the globe. Effective epidemic control requires the achievement of herd immunity, where susceptible individuals are conferred indirect protection by being surrounded by immunized individuals. The proportion of people that need to be vaccinated to obtain herd immunity is determined through the herd immunity threshold. However, the number of susceptible individuals and the…
Conceptual framework of equity-focused implementation research for health programs (EquIR)
EquIR is a conceptual framework that is proposed for use by decision makers and researchers during the implementation of programs, policies or health interventions, with a focus on equity, which aims to reduce or prevent the increase of existing inequalities during implementation
Incorporación de equidad en salud en la investigación sobre implementación: Revisión de los modelos conceptuales
In order to reduce health gaps and with them health inequities, it becomes necessary to have a consolidated implementation research framework that includes aspects of health equity. This framework would facilitate improving implementation processes for interventions, services, and health programs
Considering health equity when moving from evidence-based guideline recommendations to implementation: A case study from an uppermiddle income country on the GRADE approach

Considering health equity when moving from evidence-based guideline recommendations to implementation: A case study from an upper-middle income country on the GRADE approach
The availability of evidence-based guidelines does not ensure their implementation and use in clinical practice or policy making. Inequities in health have been defined as those inequalities within or between populations that are avoidable, unnecessary and also unjust and unfair. Evidence-based clinical practice and public health guidelines ('guidelines') can be used to target health inequities experienced by disadvantaged populations, although g…
