Using DHIS2 routine data for health system preparedness in resource-limited settings
Health systems in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) like Bangladesh face persistent challenges in delivering timely and equitable care, often exacerbated by poor planning and inefficient resource allocation. Forecasting service utilization using routine health data can support more responsive and data-driven health system planning, yet such approaches remain under utilized in Bangladesh. By analyzing service utilization trends and projecti…
Assessing the feasibility and appropriateness of verbal autopsy using contact information of the deceased from burial records in urban Bangladesh
Background: Bangladesh faces significant challenges in accurately documenting causes of death (COD), largely due to incomplete vital registration systems, which lack COD reporting. A substantial number of deaths occur outside health facilities, often without medical certification, leading to further gaps in mortality data. Verbal autopsy (VA) has emerged as a viable method in low-resource settings to bridge this gap. We aimed to explore the feasi…
Adolescent and young adult mortality in Bangladesh
Background: In 2021, over 1.5 million adolescents (aged 10-19 years) and young adults (aged 20-24 years) died globally, approximately 4500 deaths daily. However, research on causes and factors influencing deaths among adolescents and young adults in Bangladesh is limited. We aimed to address this gap by identifying the leading causes of mortality and the factors affecting adolescent and young adult deaths. Methods: We conducted two cross-sectiona…
Excess mortality during Covid-19 and prediction of mortality in Bangladesh
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted global mortality, underscoring the need for reliable data to guide public health policy. In low- and middle-income countries, graveyard-based death records can offer valuable insights into COVID-19-related mortality, yet they remain limited. Additionally, data on mortality beyond the pandemic remains scarce as we approach the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals. We addressed this gap by usin…
Unveiling the dimension of regional disparities
Background: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic disrupted essential health care services worldwide, including those related to immunisation. National data from Bangladesh shows that child immunisation may have been adversely affected by the pandemic but regional evidence is limited. We therefore aimed to explore the regional differences in the indirect effects of COVID-19 on child immunisation in Bangladesh. Methods: We extracted dat…
Impact of Covid-19 on the utilisation of maternal health services in Bangladesh
Background: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic had substantially disrupted maternal health care provision and utilisation in Bangladesh. However, the extent of geographical disparities in service utilisation and how the health system withstood these challenges have not been studied. This study explores the divisional disparities in trends and disruptions in maternal health service utilisation caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods…
