  • Factors associated with positive blood cultures in children in nine African and Asian countries

    Open AccessCristina Ardura-Garcia, Jill Hopkins et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2025

    BACKGROUND: Blood culture (BC) in children has relatively low diagnostic yield and high contamination rates, limiting cost-effectiveness. We aimed to determine readily available baseline characteristics to identify hospitalised children with a likelihood of higher diagnostic yield in low- and middle-income countries. METHODS: We used data from ACORN2, a prospective clinical surveillance network including 19 hospitals across Africa and Asia. We in…

  • Global burden of bacterial antimicrobial resistance 1990–2021

    Open AccessMohsen Naghavi, Stein Emil Vollset et al.ARTICLEThe Lancet2024

    BACKGROUND: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses an important global health challenge in the 21st century. A previous study has quantified the global and regional burden of AMR for 2019, followed with additional publications that provided more detailed estimates for several WHO regions by country. To date, there have been no studies that produce comprehensive estimates of AMR burden across locations that encompass historical trends and future for…

  • Cost-effectiveness analysis of typhoid vaccination in Lao PDR

    Open AccessMick Soukavong, Nantasit Luangasanatip et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2023

    Inclusion of TCV in the national vaccination program in Lao PDR would only be cost-effective if the true typhoid incidence is 25-times higher than our current estimate

  • Global burden of bacterial antimicrobial resistance in 2019

    Open AccessChristopher J L Murray, Kevin S Ikuta et al.ARTICLEThe Lancet2022

    BACKGROUND: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a major threat to human health around the world. Previous publications have estimated the effect of AMR on incidence, deaths, hospital length of stay, and health-care costs for specific pathogen-drug combinations in select locations. To our knowledge, this study presents the most comprehensive estimates of AMR burden to date. METHODS: We estimated deaths and disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) a…

  • Antimicrobial use and resistance data in human and animal sectors in the Lao PDR

    Open AccessVilada Chansamouth, Mayfong Mayxay et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2021

    Objectives To review the scientific evidence base on antimicrobial use (AMU) and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in human and animal sectors in the Lao PDR (Laos). Methods We reviewed all publications from July 1994 (the first article describing AMR in Laos) to December 2020. Electronic searches were conducted using Google Scholar and PubMed with specific terms relating to AMR and AMU in Lao, French and English languages. Findings We screened 1,35…

  • Antimicrobial resistance detection in Southeast Asian hospitals is critically important from both patient and societal perspectives, but what is its cost

    Open AccessTamalee Roberts, Nantasit Luangasanatip et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2021

    Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major threat to global health. Improving laboratory capacity for AMR detection is critically important for patient health outcomes and population level surveillance. We aimed to estimate the financial cost of setting up and running a microbiology laboratory for organism identification and antimicrobial susceptibility testing as part of an AMR surveillance programme. Financial costs for setting up and running a …

  • How many human pathogens are there in Laos? An estimate of national human pathogen diversity and analysis of historical trends

    Open AccessMadeleine Claire Clarkson, Ricardo Águas et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2020

    OBJECTIVE: The emergence of infectious diseases pose major global health threats. Estimates of total in-country human pathogen diversity, and insights as to how and when species were described through history, could be used to estimate the probability of new pathogen discoveries. Data from the Lao People's Democratic Republic (Laos) were used in this proof-of-concept study to estimate national human pathogen diversity and to examine historical di…
