Predicting home delivery and identifying its determinants among women aged 15–49 years in sub-Saharan African countries using a Demographic and Health Surveys 2016–2023
The random forest machine learning model provides greater predictive power for estimating home delivery risk factors. To reduce the prevalence of home delivery, this finding recommends to emphasis on improving antenatal care services, education, and awareness about health facility delivery
Diagnostics for detection and surveillance of priority epidemic-prone diseases in Africa
In 2023, Africa experienced 180 public health emergencies, of which 90% were infectious diseases and 75% were related to zoonotic diseases. Testing capacity for epidemic-prone diseases is essential to enable rapid and accurate identification of causative agents, and for action to prevent disease spread. Moreover, testing is pivotal in monitoring disease transmission, evaluating public health interventions and informing targeted resource allocatio…
Longitudinal wastewater-based surveillance of Sars-CoV-2 during 2023 in Ethiopia
Introduction: Although wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) successfully functioned as a tool for monitoring the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic globally, relatively little is known about its utility in low-income countries. This study aimed to quantify severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) RNA in wastewater, estimate the number of infected individuals in the catchment areas, and correlate the results with the c…
Psychological distress and its effect on tuberculosis treatment outcomes in Ethiopia
BACKGROUND: Psychological distress is the major comorbidity among tuberculosis (TB) patients. However, its magnitude, associated factors, and effect on treatment outcome have not been adequately studied in low-income countries. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to determine the magnitude of psychological distress and its effect on treatment outcome among TB patients on treatment. DESIGN: A follow-up study was conducted in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, from Ma…
Molecular typing and drug sensitivity testing of Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolated by a community-based survey in Ethiopia
In this study, the strains of M. tuberculosis circulating in selected sites of Ethiopia were identified along with the drug sensitivity patterns. Thus, these findings are useful for the TB Control Program of the country
