Cross-national patterns of Covid-19 vaccination coverage by vaccine type
We examined whether COVID-19 vaccine type was associated with national full-vaccination coverage using 1034 country–vaccine entries from 195 countries derived from World Health Organization data. In a country-level analysis adjusting for World Bank income group, WHO region, and the number of vaccine products per country, neither mRNA vaccine availability ( p = 0.051) nor the proportion of mRNA vaccines in a country’s portfolio ( p = 0.164) was si…

Methods From August 2025 to November 2025, a total of 550 middle-aged and older adults patients with chronic diseases were recruited as convenience samples from a…
RSV-associated acute otitis media in children under five years old
Background: Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a leading cause of infant respiratory infections and an important contributor to acute otitis media (AOM) development. We aimed to synthesise evidence on RSV-associated AOM to support research to reduce its morbidity. Methods: In April 2025, we performed a systematic review and meta-analysis by searching the Embase, MEDLINE, and Global Health databases to identify studies reporting RSV-associated A…
Prevalence of preserved ratio impaired spirometry and restrictive spirometry pattern in the general population
Background: Both preserved ratio impaired spirometry (PRISm) (defined as a forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) <80% of predicted, while the ratio of FEV1 to forced vital capacity (FVC) is ≥0.7) and restrictive spirometry pattern (RSP) (defined as FVC<80% of predicted, while the FEV1/FVC ratio ≥0.7) are associated with an increased risk of mortality. The global prevalence of PRISm and RSP in the general population remains unclear. Theref…
Connections between science and care within public and global health research
Connections between science and care are common, such as when people access particular therapies through participating in research. However, interactions go far beyond medical treatment per se, with other kinds of advice and support (including direct financial support) also warranting consideration. Such complexities of the science-care relationship are often not fully accounted for by formal ethical and governance processes and approvals. This c…
Long‐Term Organic Fertilization Enhances Particulate Organic Matter Accumulation Through Macroaggregate Formation in the Loess Plateau
Organic amendments are widely recommended to enhance soil organic carbon (SOC) in low‐fertility soils. Yet, SOC level remains persistently low in erosion‐prone croplands of the Eastern Loess Plateau. Here, we investigate how long‐term organic fertilization influences soil aggregation and SOC dynamics in loess soils based on a 33‐year maize field experiment with five treatments: no fertilizer, mineral nitrogen‐phosphorus (NP) fertilizer (M0), and …
Equity in protection
Introduction Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) is linked to multiple malignancies and autoimmune conditions, with different disease burdens globally. Pharmaceutical companies and researchers are placing substantial investment in the development of EBV vaccines. To ensure optimal vaccine roll-out, particularly in resource-limited settings, it is essential to have data on the age at acquisition of EBV. This study aimed to systematically review and meta-anal…
BNT162b2 Covid-19 vaccination uptake, safety, effectiveness, and waning in children and young people aged 5–11 years in Scotland
Background: Few large-scale population studies have examined both safety and vaccine effectiveness (VE) specifically for 5-11-year-olds during the Omicron-dominant period in a setting with low vaccine uptake. The BNT162b2 (Pfizer-BioNTech) vaccine, administered in two doses, has shown strong efficacy against symptomatic and severe COVID-19 in clinical trials involving children and young people (CYP). Accordingly, we examined the uptake, real-worl…

A comparative study of influenza surveillance systems and administrative data in England during the 2022–2023 season
Accurate and representative surveillance is essential for understanding the impact of influenza on healthcare systems. During the 2022–2023 influenza season, the Northern Hemisphere experienced its most significant epidemic wave since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. Concurrently, new surveillance systems, developed in response to the pandemic, became available within health services. In this study, we analysed per capita admission rat…
Clinical characteristics and outcomes of patients admitted with Covid-19 at a public-sector hospital over the first two waves of Sars-CoV-2 infection in Harare, Zimbabwe
Background We investigated the clinical profile, complications, and outcomes of inpatients with COVID-19 at Parirenyatwa Hospital, Harare, across the first two waves of SARS-CoV-2 infection, and factors associated with mortality. Methods We conducted a prospective cohort study on all patients admitted to the COVID-19 unit. Data were extracted from medical records and negative binomial regression with robust standard errors was used to assess the …
Caveats in reporting of national vaccine uptake
During the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, policymakers and public health agencies urgently required contemporaneous data on vaccine uptake across whole populations and within their subsections. This was challenging because several doses of vaccine needed to be administered to different age groups at different times following their specific approval, and the number of doses may [...]
Impact of scaling up health intervention coverage on reducing maternal mortality in 26 low- and middle-income countries
Background: Prioritising actions is urgently needed to address the stagnation of the global maternal mortality ratio (MMR). As most maternal deaths occur in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), we aimed to assess the impact of scaling up health intervention coverage on reducing MMR under four scenarios for 26 LMICs. Methods: We conducted a modelling study to estimate the MMR and additional maternal lives saved by intervention by 2030 for 26 …
Does early-life famine exposure lead to healthy later-life dietary behavior
Using electronic medical records to understand the impact of Sars-CoV-2 lockdown measures on maternal and neonatal outcomes in Kampala, Uganda
Kawempe National Referral Hospital (KNRH) is a tertiary facility with over 21,000 pregnant or postpartum women admitted annually. The hospital, located in Kampala, Uganda, uses an Electronic Medical Records (EMR) system to capture patient data. Used since 2017, this readily available electronic health record (EHR) has the benefit of informing real-time clinical care, especially during pandemics such as COVID-19. We investigated the use of EHR to …
Excess mortality during the Covid-19 pandemic (2020–2021) in an urban community of Bangladesh
Measuring COVID-19-related mortality is vital for making public health policy decisions. The magnitude of COVID-19-related mortality is largely unknown in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), including Bangladesh, due to inadequate COVID-19 testing capacity and a lack of robust civil registration and vital statistics systems. Even with the lack of data, cemetery-based death records in LMICs may provide insightful information on potential COV…
The ability of non-physician health workers to identify chest indrawing to detect pneumonia in children below five years of age in low- and middle-income countries
What are the characteristics of participatory surveillance systems for influenza-like-illness
Background: Seasonal influenza causes significant morbidity and mortality, with an estimated 9.4 million hospitalisations and 290 000-650 000 respiratory related-deaths globally each year. Influenza can also cause mild illness, which is why not all symptomatic persons might necessarily be tested for influenza. To monitor influenza activity, healthcare facility-based syndromic surveillance for influenza-like illness is often implemented. Participa…
Global, regional, and national disease burden estimates of acute lower respiratory infections due to respiratory syncytial virus in children younger than 5 years in 2019
BACKGROUND: Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the most common cause of acute lower respiratory infection in young children. We previously estimated that in 2015, 33·1 million episodes of RSV-associated acute lower respiratory infection occurred in children aged 0-60 months, resulting in a total of 118 200 deaths worldwide. Since then, several community surveillance studies have been done to obtain a more precise estimation of RSV associated co…
Accuracy of non-physician health workers in respiratory rate measurement to identify paediatric pneumonia in low- and middle-income countries
Risk of Covid-19 hospitalizations among school-aged children in Scotland
Background: There is considerable policy, clinical and public interest about whether children should be vaccinated against SARS-CoV-2 and, if so, which children should be prioritised (particularly if vaccine resources are limited). To inform such deliberations, we sought to identify children and young people at highest risk of hospitalization from COVID-19. Methods: We used the Early Pandemic Evaluation and Enhanced Surveillance of COVID-19 (EAVE…
