  • Drivers of inappropriate use of antimicrobials in South Asia

    Open AccessJennifer L Murray, Daniel T Leung et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    Antimicrobial resistance is a global public health crisis. Effective antimicrobial stewardship requires an understanding of the factors and context that contribute to inappropriate use of antimicrobials. The goal of this qualitative systematic review was to synthesize themes across levels of the social ecological framework that drive inappropriate use of antimicrobials in South Asia. In September 2023, we conducted a systematic search using the e…

  • Identification, mapping, and self-reported practice patterns of village doctors in Sitakunda subdistrict, Bangladesh

    Open AccessOlivia R Hanson, Ishtiakul Islam Khan et al.ARTICLEJournal of Global Health2024

    Background: Informally trained health care providers, such as village doctors in Bangladesh, are crucial in providing health care services to the rural poor in low- and middle-income countries. Despite being one of the primary vendors of antibiotics in rural Bangladesh, village doctors often have limited knowledge about appropriate antibiotic use, leading to varied and potentially inappropriate dispensing and treatment practices. In this study, w…

  • Model-based estimates of age-structured Sars-CoV-2 epidemiology in households

    Open AccessDamon Toth, Damon J A Toth et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2024

    We disentangled several factors contributing to age-specific infection risk, including non-household exposure, within-household exposure to specific age groups, and household size. Within-household contact rate differences played a significant role in driving household transmission epidemiology. These findings provide nuanced insights for understanding community outbreak patterns and mechanisms of differential infection risk

  • Derivation and external validation of a clinical prognostic model identifying children at risk of death following presentation for diarrheal care

    Open AccessSharia M Ahmed, Ben J Brintz et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023

    Diarrhea continues to be a leading cause of death for children under-five. Amongst children treated for acute diarrhea, mortality risk remains elevated during and after acute medical management. Identification of those at highest risk would enable better targeting of interventions, but available prognostic tools lack validation. We used clinical and demographic data from the Global Enteric Multicenter Study (GEMS) to build clinical prognostic mod…

  • Rural‐Urban Differences in Chronic Disease and Drug Utilization in Older Oregonians

    Open AccessLeah M Goeres, Allison Gille et al.ARTICLEThe Journal of Rural Health2016

    PURPOSE: To characterize disease burden and medication usage in rural and urban adults aged ≥85 years. METHODS: This is a secondary analysis of 5 years of longitudinal data starting in the year 2000 from 3 brain-aging studies. Cohorts consisted of community-dwelling adults: 1 rural cohort, the Klamath Exceptional Aging Project (KEAP), was compared to 2 urban cohorts, the Oregon Brain Aging Study (OBAS) and the Dementia Prevention study (DPS).
