Prevalence and factors associated with zinc deficiency among preschool-age children in rural districts of Sidama region, Ethiopia
Zinc deficiency among preschool-age children is a significant global public health concern, particularly in low- and middle-income countries, with severe consequences for growth and development. However, research on zinc deficiency among preschoolers in Ethiopia, including the Sidama region, remains limited. To address this gap, we assessed the prevalence and factors associated with zinc deficiency among preschool-age children in rural Sidama. A …
Attrition from care and its predictors among women exposed to dolutegravir- and efavirenz-based first-line antiretroviral therapy in Ethiopia
Background: The effect of dolutegravir (DTG)-based regimens on reducing attrition from care among women enrolled in the prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) care program is unknown. Therefore, this study aimed to compare the incidence of attrition among women exposed to DTG-based with those exposed to efavirenz (EFV)-based first-line antiretroviral therapy (ART) in Ethiopia. Methods: An uncontrolled before-and-after study was conduc…
Addressing a missed opportunity for contraceptive use during the extended postpartum period by integrating it with infant immunization services in Sidama Region, Ethiopia
Globally, unmet need for postpartum family planning is high. However, immunization services are among the most widely utilized health services. Establishing systematic screening, counseling, and referral systems from different contact points, particularly from EPI units may improve postpartum family planning uptake. Hence, this study aimed to assess the effect of counseling for family planning at EPI units on contraceptive uptake during the exten…
Birth weight was associated with maternal exposure to intimate partner violence during pregnancy in southern Ethiopia
Introduction: Birth weight is defined as the first weight of the newborn, ideally measured soon after birth. A recent Ethiopian survey estimated that 48% of births took place in health facilities. Data for women exposed to intimate partner violence (IPV) may be lacking in official statistics because these women may prefer to deliver at home, where data from non-institutional births, including reporting of birth weights, are not routinely recorded…
Healthcare Access and Quality Index based on mortality from causes amenable to personal health care in 195 countries and territories, 1990–2015
BACKGROUND: National levels of personal health-care access and quality can be approximated by measuring mortality rates from causes that should not be fatal in the presence of effective medical care (ie, amenable mortality). Previous analyses of mortality amenable to health care only focused on high-income countries and faced several methodological challenges. In the present analysis, we use the highly standardised cause of death and risk factor …
