Bayesian modeling of the effect of vaccination and the delta and omicron variants on the Covid-19 epidemic in Burkina Faso using poisson log-linear autoregressive model
Introduction: Since its emergence in Burkina Faso in March 2020, the COVID-19 epidemic has undergone several shifts in its trajectory. These fluctuations have been influenced by government control measures, socio-economic dynamics, and biological mutations of the virus. However, the individual impacts of these factors remain insufficiently assessed, and the detailed history of the outbreak is not fully understood. This study aims to objectively e…
No impact of performance-based financing on the availability of essential medicines in Burkina Faso
Access to safe, effective, and affordable essential medicines (EM) is critical to quality health services and as such has played a key role in innovative health system strengthening approaches such as Performance-based Financing (PBF). Available literature indicates that PBF can improve EM availability, but has not done so consistently in the past. Qualitative explorations of the reasons are yet scarce. We contribute to expanding the literature b…
Trends and inequalities in the nutritional status of adolescent girls and adult women in sub-Saharan Africa since 2000
INTRODUCTION: Evidence on the rate at which the double burden of malnutrition unfolds is limited. We quantified trends and inequalities in the nutritional status of adolescent girls and adult women in sub-Saharan Africa. METHODS: We analysed 102 Demographic and Health Surveys between 1993 and 2017 from 35 countries. We assessed regional trends through cross-sectional series analyses and ran multilevel linear regression models to estimate the aver…
Inequities and their determinants in coverage of maternal health services in Burkina Faso
Existing inequities in maternal health services in Burkina Faso are likely going to jeopardize the achievement of Universal Health Coverage. It is important that policy makers continue to strengthen and monitor the implementation of strategies that promote proportionate universalism and forge multi-sectoral approach in dealing with social determinants of inequities in maternal health services coverage
Assessing the reliability of FTIR spectroscopy measurements and validity of bioelectrical impedance analysis as a surrogate measure of body composition among children and adolescents aged 8–19 years a…
Reliability of the FTIR spectroscopy measurements was very good among the studied population. BIA is suitable for assessing body composition among children (8-9 years) and young adolescents (10-14 years) but not among older adolescents (15-19 years) in Uganda. The body composition measurements of older adolescents determined by DDM can be predicted using those provided by BIA using population-specific regression equations
The key actors maintaining elders in functional autonomy in Bobo-Dioulasso (Burkina Faso)
It is likely that the absence of formal care and support structure likely shortens the lifespan of severely disabled older people. Stakeholders have not yet looked at this possibility. The stakeholders should seriously think about: 1) how to establish the third level of actors who can fulfill the needs to maintain elders in functional autonomy that are not satisfied by others (family members or the older individuals themselves), and 2) how to rei…
