Spatiotemporal models with confounding effects
Background: Different strategies have been developed to minimize under-five mortality (U5M) in sub-Saharan African (sSA) countries; however, it is still a major health concern for children in the region. Spatiotemporal modeling is important for areal data collected over time. However, when the number of time points and spatial areas is large and the areas are disconnected, fitting the model becomes computationally complex because of the high numb…
Spatial disparities of antenatal care utilization among pregnant women in sub-Saharan Africa—Bayesian geo-additive modelling approach
Background: Antenatal care (ANC) is critical for ensuring healthy pregnancies and positive birth outcomes. Despite its importance, significant disparities in ANC access and utilization exist across sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), influenced by various socioeconomic, geographical, and systemic factors. This study aimed to analyze the spatial disparities in the proportion of recommended ANC utilization and its associated risk factors among pregnant women…
Comparisons of cox semi-parametric and parametric shared frailty models
The exponential shared frailty hazard model with lognormal frailty distribution demonstrated better performance compared to the Cox semiparametric model for identifying risk factors for under-five children across sSA countries. Place of residence, wealth index, media exposure, birth order, birth interval, access to improved water, and use of clean fuels for cooking were the significant risk factors on time to death of under-five children in sSA
