A strategic blueprint for strengthening respiratory syncytial virus prevention among under-five children in low- and middle-income countries
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the leading cause of respiratory morbidity and mortality in children under five years of age, especially in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). In 2023, two RSV immunisation options, including a maternal RSV vaccine and a monoclonal antibody (mAb), became approved in several high-income countries. The World Health Organization has recently prequalified the maternal vaccine and the Gavi has committed fund…
Physicians’ Intentions to Recommend Influenza Vaccine
Physicians' influenza vaccine recommendations in Bangladesh are suboptimal, influenced by gender, marital status, and attitudes. Targeted educational interventions addressing attitudinal barriers and leveraging institutional support could improve recommendation practices
Cost-effectiveness of seasonal influenza vaccination in WHO-defined high-risk populations in Bangladesh
Background: Bangladesh carries a substantial health and economic burden of seasonal influenza, particularly among the World Health Organization (WHO)-defined high-risk populations. We implemented a modelling study to determine the cost-effectiveness of influenza vaccination in each of five high-risk groups (pregnant women, children under five years of age, adults with underlying health conditions, older adults (≥60 years), and healthcare personne…
Acceptability, cost-effectiveness, and capacity of a facility-based seasonal influenza vaccination among high-risk groups
The Clinicaltrials.gov registration number is NCT05996549. The registration for the protocol version 2.0 took place in August 2023, with the initial participant being enrolled in March 2022
Without Role Models
The importance of role models in inspiring and influencing the career paths of young people cannot be overstated, particularly in the fields where certain population segments are under-represented. However, when there are no role models, a few exceptional people become pioneers; these are people who carve out their own paths. Most research in early history of women in engineering focuses on the Western world, with relatively little information fr…
Seasonal influenza vaccine uptake among healthcare workers in tertiary care hospitals, Bangladesh
Clinicaltrials.gov NCT05521763. Version 2.0 was registered in September 2022, and the first participant enrolled in March 2022. Retrospectively registered
Antibiotic use for acute respiratory infections among under-5 children in Bangladesh
INTRODUCTION: Despite acute respiratory infections (ARIs) being the single largest reason for antibiotic use in under-5 children in Bangladesh, the prevalence of antibiotic use in the community for an ARI episode and factors associated with antibiotic use in this age group are unknown. METHODS: We analysed nationally representative, population-based, household survey data from the Bangladesh Demographic and Health Survey 2014 to determine the pre…
Factors Associated with Congenital Heart Disease in Severely Malnourished Children under Five and Their Outcomes at an Urban Hospital, Bangladesh
Congenital heart disease (CHD) is one of the most common types of birth defect with a high morbidity and mortality, particularly in severely malnourished children under five. In this study, we aim to identify the predicting factors for CHD and their outcomes. 694 malnourished children under five years of age admitted between April 2015 and December 2017 constituted the study population. Of them, 64 were cases of CHD, and by comparison 630 were wi…
Multi-country cross-sectional study of colonization with multidrug-resistant organisms
This is the first study to use a common protocol to evaluate population-based prevalence and risk factors associated with MDRO colonization among community-dwelling and hospitalized adults in multiple countries with diverse epidemiological conditions, including low- and middle-income settings. The results will be used to better describe the global epidemiology of MDROs and guide the development of mitigation strategies in both community and healt…
