Impact of Covid-19 on sputum isolates and hospital outcomes among patients with pneumonia in Sheffield, United Kingdom
Background and aim The COVID-19 pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2 severely affected healthcare globally. Strong links have been suggested between the pandemic and changes in the epidemiology of organisms responsible for non-COVID-19 pneumonia. In this study, we examined temporal changes in organisms recovered from sputum culture, integrating laboratory data from all submitted sputum specimens with clinical data from a subset of patients diagnosed wit…
Awareness, treatment, and control among adults living with arterial hypertension or diabetes mellitus in two rural districts in Lesotho
In Lesotho, the hypertension and diabetes care cascades are unknown. We measured awareness, treatment, and control of hypertension and diabetes among adults ≥18 years and identified factors associated with each step of the cascade, based on data from a population-based, cross-sectional survey in 120 randomly sampled clusters in the districts of Butha-Buthe and Mokhotlong from 1 st November 2021 to 31 st August 2022. We used multivariable logistic…
Prevalence of Mental Health and Substance use Problems and Awareness of Need for Services in Lesotho
We conducted a household survey among 6061 adults in Lesotho to (1) assess the prevalence of moderate/severe mental health (MH) and substance use (SU) problems (2) describe the MH and SU service cascades, and (3) assess predictors of MH and SU problem awareness (i.e., awareness of having a MH/SU problem that requires treatment). Moderate/severe MH or SU problems was reported between 0.7% for anxiety in the past 2 weeks to 36.4% for alcohol use in…
Impact of Covid-19 on the Utilization of HIV Testing and Linkage Services in Sierra Leone
The COVID-19 pandemic adversely affected the delivery of essential health services globally. In this study, we aimed to assess the impact of the pandemic on HIV testing and linkage services at three public health facilities in Freetown, Sierra Leone. We conducted a retrospective study to assess the impact of COVID-19 on HIV testing and linkage to treatment services (HTS) at Connaught Hospital (CH-tertiary), Lumley Government Hospital (LGH-seconda…
Community-based care models for arterial hypertension management in non-pregnant adults in sub-Saharan Africa
The overall quality of available evidence on community-based aHT care is low. Published models of care are very heterogeneous and available evidence is insufficient to recommend or refute further scale up in sub-Sahara Africa. We propose that future projects and studies implementing and assessing community-based models for aHT care are designed and described according to six building blocks: providers, target groups, components, location, time of…
