Is rotavirus aetiology in young children with acute diarrhoea associated with sociodemographic and clinical factors, including rotavirus vaccination status? A secondary cross-sectional analysis of the…
INTRODUCTION: One of the leading causes of global child mortality continues to be diarrhoea where rotavirus contributed to about 24% of deaths among all diarrhoeal deaths, mostly in low-income and middle-income countries. Rotavirus vaccination programmes have contributed to the reduction of mortality from 24% to 19% in rotavirus infections among hospitalised children, but the burden of rotaviral diarrhoea remains high, especially in settings with…
Global burden of bacterial antimicrobial resistance 1990–2021
BACKGROUND: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses an important global health challenge in the 21st century. A previous study has quantified the global and regional burden of AMR for 2019, followed with additional publications that provided more detailed estimates for several WHO regions by country. To date, there have been no studies that produce comprehensive estimates of AMR burden across locations that encompass historical trends and future for…
Characteristics and outcomes of children 2–23 months of age with prolonged diarrhoea
Background: Approximately 12% of all diarrhoeal episodes last for 7-13 days. As such, they are termed prolonged diarrhoea, and are associated with over two-thirds of all diarrhoeal deaths. Due to a lack of robust data, we aimed to evaluate a comparative background characteristics of young children with acute and prolonged diarrhoea, and their outcomes at day 90 follow-up. Methods: We performed a secondary analysis of data from the Antibiotics for…
Long Term Impact on Lung Function of Patients With Moderate and Severe Covid-19. A Prospective Cohort Study
Background: In Pakistan, the cases of COVID-19 have declined from 6000 per day in June to 600 in September 2020. A significant number of patients continue to recover from the disease, however, little is known about the lung function capacity among survivors. We aim to determine the long-term impact on lung function capacity in patients who have survived moderate or severe COVID-19 disease in a resource-poor setting. Methods: This prospective coho…
A review of toolkits and case definitions for detecting enteric fever outbreaks in Asian and African countries from 1965-2019
BACKGROUND: This review assessed the case definitions, diagnostic criteria, antimicrobial resistance, and methods used for enteric fever outbreaks and utilization of any unified outbreak score or checklist for early identification and response in Asia and Africa from 1965-2019. METHODS: We searched enteric fever outbreaks using PubMed, Google Scholar, and the Cochrane library. Studies describing a single outbreak event of enteric fever in Asia an…
Predictors of diarrheal mortality and patterns of caregiver health seeking behavior in in Karachi, Pakistan
BACKGROUND: Pakistan is unfortunately among the five countries that contributed to the most deaths due to diarrhea and pneumonia in 2010. To explore factors associated with diarrheal deaths we assessed care-seeking behavior and other predictors of diarrhea-related mortality in children in selected low-income peri-urban communities of Karachi, Pakistan. METHODS: A mixed methods study (qualitative and quantitative) using matched case-control design…
