Determinants of Covid-19 vaccine uptake among persons with disabilities in three selected districts of Zambia
COVID-19, is still a public health threat due to uncertainties around the potential evolution of the virus, changes in clinical characteristics, and the introduction of new prevention and therapeutic modalities. Persons with Disabilities (PWDs) were among the most highly affected groups by the COVID-19 pandemic due to their underlying conditions. This study aimed to establish the prevalence and identify the determinants of COVID-19 vaccine uptake…
Parametric survival analysis of long Covid among hospitalized patients in Zambia
Long COVID refers to the continuation or emergence of new symptoms within three months after acute SARS-CoV-2 infection, lasting for at least two months. Although several studies have described COVID-19 sequelae, gaps remain in understanding the temporal dynamics of symptoms resolution – information crucial for patients management and recovery planning. This study evaluated the resolution of COVID-19–related symptoms over time and associated fact…
Predictors of perinatal mortality in the seven major hospitals of Lusaka Zambia
Background In 2023, approximately 2.3 million babies globally were lost before birth or within the first week of life, primarily due to preventable causes. Global perinatal mortality declined from 5.7 million in 2000 to 4.1 million by the end of 2015. However, despite this progress, for example 45% of all stillbirths were reported from high-income countries, which contribute less than 2% of the global burden of stillbirths. Perinatal mortality ra…
Factors Influencing the Re-engagement of School Dropout Adolescent Girls into the Education System Following the Enactment of the Re-entry Policy in Zambia
Introduction Globally, adolescent pregnancy and marriage contribute to high school dropout rates. Girls who drop out of school early tend to have poorer health indicators than those who continue their education. In 1997, the government of Zambia, through the Ministry of Education, introduced the Re-entry Policy to facilitate adolescent girls who had dropped out of school to continue their education. However, since this policy enactment, there has…
Availability and readiness of public health facilities to provide differentiated service delivery models for HIV treatment in Zambia
Background There is persistent pressure on countries with a high burden of HIV infection to reach desired targets for HIV treatment outcomes. This has led to moving from the “one-size-fits-all” model to differentiated service delivery (DSD) models, which are meant to be more patient-centered and efficient but without compromising on the quality of patient care. However, for DSD models to be efficient, facilities should have indicators of HIV serv…
Acceptability and associated factors of indoor residual spraying for malaria control by households in Luangwa district of Zambia
The global burden of malaria has increased from 227 million cases in 2019 to 247 million cases in 2020. Indoor residual spraying (IRS) remains one of the most effective control strategies for malaria. The current study sought to measure the acceptability level and associated factors of indoor residual spraying. A cross sectional study was conducted from October to November 2020 in sixteen urban and rural communities of Luangwa district using a cl…
Escherichia coli Antimicrobial Susceptibility Reduction amongst HIV-Infected Individuals at the University Teaching Hospital, Lusaka, Zambia
Increased antimicrobial resistance among Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)-infected individuals to commonly used antibiotics in the treatment of gastroenteritis is a public health concern, especially in resource-limited settings. We set out to compare the antimicrobial susceptibility pattern of Escherichia coli (E. coli) isolates from HIV-infected and HIV-uninfected individuals at a tertiary hospital in Lusaka, Zambia. An analytical cross-sectio…
