Pathogen-specific predicting factors of childhood diarrhoea and their seasonality
Background: Bangladesh observed a sudden massive influx of Rohingya refugees in August 2017. This large migrant population relative to a smaller host community placed a burden and threat on the public health sector. Due to the lack of pathogen-specific predicting factors and the influence of seasonal variation on childhood diarrhoeal pathogens in a densely populated area, we aimed to explore the same among Rohingya refugees and the host populatio…
Consequences of post-discharge hospitalisation on the growth of young Bangladeshi children hospitalised with diarrhoea
Background: Due to the scarcity of published data on growth among children with severe diarrhoea requiring readmission during post-discharge follow-up, we aimed to investigate the potential impact of post-discharge readmission at day-90 follow-up on growth in diarrheal children aged 2-23 months. Methods: We performed a secondary analysis using Bangladesh site data from the Antibiotic for Children with Diarrhea (ABCD) trial, a multi-country, rando…
Determinants of post-discharge stunting among diarrhoeal children aged 2–23 months in Bangladesh
Background: Despite the global burden of stunting, data regarding the determinants of stunting observed on follow-up after discharge from health care facilities among children treated for severe diarrhoea are limited. We investigated factors influencing stunting during post-discharge follow-up among under-2 children treated for severe diarrhoea. We developed a predictive model to estimate stunting prevalence and identify risk factors without post…
Coexisting forms of malnutrition among under-5 children in Bangladesh
Objective: Underweight, wasting and stunting are crucial malnutrition indicators responsible for morbidities among children. Data regarding coexisting forms of malnutrition (CFM) are scarce. We aimed to investigate the prevalence and associated factors of CFM across two survey years among under-5 Bangladeshi children. Design: Cross-sectional study. Setting: Data were acquired from two rounds of Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS), Bangladesh…
Characteristics and outcomes of children 2–23 months of age with prolonged diarrhoea
Background: Approximately 12% of all diarrhoeal episodes last for 7-13 days. As such, they are termed prolonged diarrhoea, and are associated with over two-thirds of all diarrhoeal deaths. Due to a lack of robust data, we aimed to evaluate a comparative background characteristics of young children with acute and prolonged diarrhoea, and their outcomes at day 90 follow-up. Methods: We performed a secondary analysis of data from the Antibiotics for…
Evaluation of feasibility phase of adaptive version of locally made bubble continuous positive airway pressure oxygen therapy for the treatment of Covid-19 positive and negative adults with severe pne…
Background: Bubble continuous positive airway pressure (bCPAP) oxygen therapy has been shown to be safe and effective in treating children with severe pneumonia and hypoxaemia in Bangladesh. Due to lack of adequate non-invasive ventilatory support during coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) crisis, we aimed to evaluate whether bCPAP was safe and feasible when adapted for use in adults with similar indications. Methods: O pressure, in two tertiary …
Different Features of Cholera in Malnourished and Non-Malnourished Children
Malnourished children are more prone to infectious diseases including severe diarrhea compared to non-malnourished children. However, data are scarce on differences in the presentation in such children. We aimed to identify clinical differentials among children with cholera with or without malnutrition. Data were extracted from the diarrheal disease surveillance system (DDSS) of Dhaka Hospital of International Centre for Diarrheal Disease Researc…
