The relationship between rural residence and cervical cancer screening in three sub-Saharan countries with different national screening policies
PURPOSE: To compare cervical cancer screening prevalence between urban and rural women aged 30-49 years in three sub-Saharan African countries chosen by their country-specific screening strategy (Burkina Faso, which has a systematic population-based cervical cancer screening programme in place; Tanzania, where opportunistic screening options only are implemented; and Ghana, which has implemented neither one). METHODS: We used the most recent Demo…
Comparing estimates of household expenditures between pictorial diaries and surveys in three low- and middle-income countries
In most low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), household out-of-pocket (OOP) health spending constitutes a major source of healthcare financing. Household surveys are commonly used to monitor OOP health spending, but are prone to recall bias and unable to capture seasonal variation, and may underestimate expenditure–particularly among households with long-term chronic health conditions. Household expenditure diaries have been developed as an a…
Impact of social isolation on mortality and morbidity in 20 high-income, middle-income and low-income countries in five continents
OBJECTIVE: To examine the association between social isolation and mortality and incident diseases in middle-aged adults in urban and rural communities from high-income, middle-income and low-income countries. DESIGN: Population-based prospective observational study. SETTING: Urban and rural communities in 20 high income, middle income and low income. PARTICIPANTS: 119 894 community-dwelling middle-aged adults. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Associations…
Availability and affordability of medicines and cardiovascular outcomes in 21 high-income, middle-income and low-income countries
OBJECTIVES: We aimed to examine the relationship between access to medicine for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) among people at high risk of CVD in high-income countries (HICs), upper and lower middle-income countries (UMICs, LMICs) and low-income countries (LICs) participating in the Prospective Urban Rural Epidemiology (PURE) study. METHODS: We defined high CVD risk as the presence of any of the foll…
The household economic burden of non-communicable diseases in 18 countries
Background: Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are the leading cause of death globally. In 2014, the United Nations committed to reducing premature mortality from NCDs, including by reducing the burden of healthcare costs. Since 2014, the Prospective Urban and Rural Epidemiology (PURE) Study has been collecting health expenditure data from households with NCDs in 18 countries. Methods: Using data from the PURE Study, we estimated risk of catastroph…
Socioeconomic status and risk of cardiovascular disease in 20 low-income, middle-income, and high-income countries
Background Socioeconomic status is associated with differences in risk factors for cardiovascular disease incidence and outcomes, including mortality. However, it is unclear whether the associations between cardiovascular disease and common measures of socioeconomic status—wealth and education—differ among high-income, middle-income, and low-income countries, and, if so, why these differences exist. We explored the association between education a…
