Impact of ambient air pollution exposure during pregnancy on adverse birth outcomes
Prenatal exposure to PM 2.5 and SO 2 pollution adversely affected birth outcomes after controlling for other prenatal risk factors. This suggests that local government officials have a responsibility for better control of air pollution and health care providers need to advise pregnant females about the risks of air pollution during pregnancy
Association of medical male circumcision and sexually transmitted infections in a population-based study using targeted maximum likelihood estimation
Using a TMLE approach, we present further evidence of a protective association of MMC against HIV and HSV-2 in this hyper-endemic South African setting. TMLE has the potential to enhance the evidence base for recommendations that embrace the effect of public health interventions on health or disease outcomes
Modelling immune deterioration, immune recovery and state-specific duration of HIV-infected women with viral load adjustment
Inclusion of both CD4 cell count based disease progression states and viral load, in the time-homogeneous Markov model, assisted in modeling the complete disease progression of HIV/AIDS. Higher quality of life (QoL) domain scores, good clinical characteristics, stable sexual partner and higher educational level were found to be predictive factors for transition and length of stay in sequential adversity of HIV/AIDS
The differential effect of maternal dietary patterns on quantiles of Birthweight
Both maternal undernutrition and overnutrition of protein rich foods, junk foods, snack and energy foods and vegetable rich foods have shown a substantial varying effects on those infants with birthweights in the lower and upper birthweight quantiles
Factors affecting first-month adherence to antiretroviral therapy amongHIV-positive adults in South Africa
This study explores the influence of baseline factors on first-month adherence to highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) among adults. The study design involved a review of routinely collected patient information in the CAPRISA AIDS Treatment (CAT) programme, at a rural and an urban clinic in KwaZulu-Natal Province, South Africa. The records of 688 patients enrolled in the CAT programme between June 2004 and September 2006 were analysed. Ad…
