    Open AccessJeanie du Toit, Yuqing Wang et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2025

    Anemia is an important cause of child morbidity and mortality. Postmortem point-of-care hemoglobin testing is a potential method for assessing anemia at death, but its reliability has not been extensively studied. We aimed to assess the feasibility and validity of postmortem point-of-care hemoglobin assessment using HemoCue in the setting of a child mortality surveillance program in South Africa.In a pilot cohort study, 44 children under five yea…

  • Bearing Witness

    Open AccessAnik Patel, Amber Alayyan et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2025

    Children affected by armed conflict suffer devastating physical, emotional, and social harm. War uproots families, forcing many to flee as refugees or internally displaced persons, while others remain trapped in dangerous environments. In these crises, children face disproportionate risks—violence, exploitation, disrupted education, and collapsed healthcare systems. Their unique vulnerabilities require urgent, targeted action to protect their hea…

  • The New WHO Cut-off Point for Defining High-altitude Anemia may be Inadequate

    Open AccessGustavo F Gonzales, Cinthya Vásquez‐Velásquez et al.ARTICLEINQUIRY The Journal of Health…2025

    These findings suggest that altitude-adjusted Hb cutoffs may overestimate anemia prevalence and lead to misclassification of IDA in high-altitude pediatric populations

  • Contribution of malnutrition to infant and child deaths in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia

    Open AccessZachary J Madewell, Adama Mamby Keita et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2024

    Introduction Malnutrition contributes to 45% of all childhood deaths globally, but these modelled estimates lack direct measurements in countries with high malnutrition and under-5 mortality rates. We investigated malnutrition’s role in infant and child deaths in the Child Health and Mortality Prevention Surveillance (CHAMPS) network. Methods We analysed CHAMPS data from seven sites (Bangladesh, Ethiopia, Kenya, Mali, Mozambique, Sierra Leone and…

  • Evaluation of inflammation adjustment methods to assess iron deficiency using longitudinal data from norovirus human challenge trials

    Open AccessYi‐An Ko, Parminder S Suchdev et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    Accounting for inflammation is necessary to assess iron deficiency using ferritin. A limitation of existing inflammation-adjustment methods is reliance on cross-sectional data to evaluate method performance. The study objective was to evaluate three inflammation-adjustment methods using longitudinal data from two controlled trials where apparently healthy adults (n = 52) were exposed to norovirus. Correction factors (CF), the Biomarkers Reflectin…

  • Micronutrient deficiencies among preschool-aged children and women of reproductive age worldwide

    Open AccessG A Stevens, Ty Beal et al.ARTICLEThe Lancet Global Health2022

    BACKGROUND: Micronutrient deficiencies compromise immune systems, hinder child growth and development, and affect human potential worldwide. Yet, to our knowledge, the only existing estimate of the global prevalence of micronutrient deficiencies is from over 30 years ago and is based only on the prevalence of anaemia. We aimed to estimate the global and regional prevalence of deficiency in at least one of three micronutrients among preschool-aged…

  • Approaches to quantify the contribution of multiple anemia risk factors in children and women from cross-sectional national surveys

    Open AccessYi‐An Ko, Anne M Williams et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2022

    Background Attributable fractions (AF) of anemia are often used to understand the multifactorial etiologies of anemia, despite challenges interpreting them in cross-sectional studies. We aimed to compare different statistical approaches for estimating AF for anemia due to inflammation, malaria, and micronutrient deficiencies including iron, vitamin A, vitamin B12, and folate. Methods AF were calculated using nationally representative survey data …

  • Comparing hemoglobin distributions between population-based surveys matched by country and time

    Open AccessDaniel J Hruschka, Anne M Williams et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2020

    We identify substantial differences in anemia estimates from surveys of similar populations. Further work is needed to identify the cause of these differences to improve the robustness of anemia estimates for comparing populations and tracking improvements over time

  • Anemia epidemiology, pathophysiology, and etiology in low‐ and middle‐income countries

    Open AccessCamila M Chaparro, Parminder S SuchdevARTICLEAnnals of the New York Academy of…2019

    Anemia affects a third of the world's population and contributes to increased morbidity and mortality, decreased work productivity, and impaired neurological development. Understanding anemia's varied and complex etiology is crucial for developing effective interventions that address the context‐specific causes of anemia and for monitoring anemia control programs. We outline definitions and classifications of anemia, describe the biological mecha…
