Quality of life domains among caregivers of children with special health care needs in South Asia
Increasing survival of children with chronic and developmental conditions has intensified reliance on informal family caregiving, particularly in South Asia, where formal long-term care systems remain limited. The quality of life (QoL) of caregivers, therefore, represents an emerging yet underexamined health system and social concern. This qualitative evidence synthesis examines the domains that shape caregiver QoL and situates them within broade…
Association Between Gestational Weight Gain and Low Birth Weight Across the Pre‐pregnancy Body Mass Index Strata
Investigating the association between gestational weight gain (GWG) on low birth weight (LBW, birth weight < 2500 g) across pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) categories (underweight: < 18.5, normal: 18.5-24.9 and overweight/obese: ≥ 25 kg/m2) is crucial for clinical practice. While the Institute of Medicine's (IOM) 2009 GWG guidelines are widely used, evidence-based data from diverse populations is scarce, creating a global research gap. We exp…
Impact of solid fuel usage on respiratory symptoms among reproductive aged women
