Prevalence, trends, and factors associated with maternal autonomy regarding healthcare, finances, and mobility in Bangladesh
Maternal autonomy is associated with improved healthcare utilization/outcomes for mothers and babies in low- and middle-income countries. We investigated the trends in the prevalence and factors associated with maternal autonomy in Bangladesh. This cross-sectional study analyzed the Bangladesh Demographic and Health Survey for 1999–00, 2004, 2007, 2011, 2014, and 2017–18. Maternal autonomy was defined as at least one decision-making ability regar…
Social vulnerability index associated with higher Covid-19 seroprevalence in Nigeria
Social vulnerability has been shown to be a strong predictor of disparities in health outcomes. A common approach to estimating social vulnerability is using a composite index, such as the social vulnerability index (SVI), which combines multiple factors corresponding to key social determinants of health. Lawal and Osayomi created an SVI to explore key social determinants of health-related COVID-19 infection among the Nigerian population. This st…
Is the Differentiated Service Delivery Model Suited to the Needs of People Living with HIV in Rwanda
Evaluation of the Nigeria national HIV rapid testing algorithm
Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) diagnosis remains the gateway to HIV care and treatment. However, due to changes in HIV prevalence and testing coverage across different geopolitical zones, it is crucial to evaluate the national HIV testing algorithm as false positivity due to low prevalence could be detrimental to both the client and the service delivery. Therefore, we evaluated the performance of the national HIV rapid testing algorithm using…
Seroprevalence of Sars-CoV-2 in four states of Nigeria in October 2020
The observed epidemiology of SARS-CoV-2 in sub-Saharan Africa has varied greatly from that in Europe and the United States, with much lower reported incidence. Population-based studies are needed to estimate true cumulative incidence of SARS-CoV-2 to inform public health interventions. This study estimated SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence in four selected states in Nigeria in October 2020. We implemented a two-stage cluster sample household survey in fo…
Factors associated with receipt of a timely infant birth dose of hepatitis B vaccine at a tertiary hospital in North-Central Nigeria
The World Health Organization recommends universal vaccination of medically stable infants with Hepatitis B vaccine within 24 hours of birth to prevent mother-to-child transmission of Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. However, the proportion of infants who receive a timely birth dose is extremely low in Nigeria. We reviewed the implementation of an infant HBV vaccine schedule at a single center and identified factors affecting the receipt of a t…
People aging with HIV – protecting a population vulnerable to effects of Covid-19 and its control measures
Certain comorbidities known to increase the risk of poor outcomes in COVID-19 exist at higher rates in people with HIV; people aging with HIV (PAWH) face additional risk due to the association of advanced age with COVID-19 mortality. Cognitive and functional deficits and social barriers have been identified in cohorts of people aging with HIV. It is postulated that the COVID-19 pandemic potentially threatens PAWH disproportionately to the general…
