  • Changes in preterm birth and stillbirth during Covid-19 lockdowns in 26 countries

    Open AccessClara Calvert, Meredith Brockway et al.ARTICLENature Human Behaviour2023Citada por: 1Referências: 59

    Preterm birth (PTB) is the leading cause of infant mortality worldwide. Changes in PTB rates, ranging from −90% to +30%, were reported in many countries following early COVID-19 pandemic response measures ('lockdowns'). It is unclear whether this variation reflects real differences in lockdown impacts, or perhaps differences in stillbirth rates and/or study designs. Here we present interrupted time series and meta-analyses using harmonized data f…

  • Differences and agreement between two portable hand-held spirometers across diverse community-based populations in the Prospective Urban Rural Epidemiology (Pure) study

    Open AccessMyLinh Duong, Sumathy Rangarajan et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2022

    Introduction Portable spirometers are commonly used in longitudinal epidemiological studies to measure and track the forced expiratory volume in first second (FEV 1 ) and forced vital capacity (FVC). During the course of the study, it may be necessary to replace spirometers with a different model. This raise questions regarding the comparability of measurements from different devices. We examined the correlation, mean differences and agreement be…
