Prevalence of cardiometabolic diseases in Sub-Saharan Africa
Cardiometabolic diseases (CMDs) are increasingly prevalent in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), underscoring the need to understand the existing public health burden. This would guide future policy strategies and interventions to mitigate the challenges posed. The aim of this systematic review was to provide a comprehensive overview of CMDs prevalence in SSA. A PRISMA 2020 compliant systematic literature search was conducted using MEDLINE and The Cochran…
The Ghana heart initiative – a health system strengthening approach as index intervention model to solving Ghana’s cardiovascular disease burden
Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the leading cause of death worldwide, with 80% of these deaths occurring in low-middle income countries (LMICs). In Ghana and across Africa, CVDs have emerged as the leading causes of death primarily due to undetected and under treated hypertension, yet less than 5% of resources allocated to health in these resource-poor countries go into non-communicable diseases (NCD) including CVD prevention and management. Co…
Changes in trends and patterns of glycaemic control at Ghana’s National Diabetes Management and Research Centre during the era of the Covid-19 pandemic
Background Maintaining optimal glycaemic control (GC) delays the onset and progression of diabetes-related complications, especially microvascular complications. We aimed to establish the trend and pattern of GC, and its associated factors in persons living with diabetes (PLWD), and to examine the influence of COVID-19 on GC. Methods A retrospective study involving secondary data from 2,593 patients’ physical records from the National Diabetes Ma…
High BMI
Objective: We examined BMI as a health risk factor for self-reported diabetes mellitus, angina, strokes and arthritis among older Ghanaians aged 50 years and above. Design: We analysed the individual-level data from the World Health Organization Study on global AGEing and adult health Ghana Wave 2 (2014/2015). The influence of BMI on self-reported chronic conditions including diabetes, angina, stroke and arthritis was examined. Setting: Household…
Psychological Distress Amongst Medical Laboratory Professionals Involved in Covid-19-Related Duties
To assess the prevalence and factors associated with psychological distress (PD) and Medical Laboratory Professionals (MLPs) involvement in COVID-19-related duties. This study adopted an online cross-sectional, nationally stratified survey among 473 MLPs using Google Form with a designated link; Depression, anxiety, and stress scale-21 (DASS-21) was used to measure depression, anxiety, and stress (secondary outcome). We employed generalized Negat…
Unmet Needs of Healthcare Services and Associated Factors among a Cohort of Ghanaian Adults
We estimated the prevalence of unmet needs of healthcare services (UNHS) and its associated factors among a cohort of older Ghanaian adults. World Health Organization (WHO) Study on Global AGEing and Adult Health for Ghana was used with a total of 4735 participants. Logistics regression analysis was performed using Stata 16 to assess associated factors. The overall UNHS was 3.7% (95% CI = 2.7-4.8) and the prevalence was significantly high amongst…
