  • Population attributable fractions for modifiable risk factors of neonatal, infant, and under-five mortality in 48 low- and middle-income countries

    Open AccessKedir Yimam Ahmed, Subash Thapa et al.ARTICLEJournal of Global Health2025

    Background: Identifying the modifiable risk factors for childhood mortality using population-attributable fractions (PAFs) estimates can inform public health planning and resource allocation in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). We estimated PAFs for key population-level modifiable risk factors of neonatal, infant, and under-five mortality in LMICs. Methods: We used the most recent Demographic and Health Survey data sets (2010-22) from 48 …

  • Population-level risks of alcohol consumption by amount, geography, age, sex, and year

    Open AccessDana Bryazka, Marissa B Reitsma et al.ARTICLEThe Lancet2022

    BACKGROUND: The health risks associated with moderate alcohol consumption continue to be debated. Small amounts of alcohol might lower the risk of some health outcomes but increase the risk of others, suggesting that the overall risk depends, in part, on background disease rates, which vary by region, age, sex, and year. METHODS: For this analysis, we constructed burden-weighted dose-response relative risk curves across 22 health outcomes to esti…

    Open AccessJaimie D Steinmetz, Rupert R A Bourne et al.ARTICLEThe Lancet Global Health2021

    BACKGROUND: Many causes of vision impairment can be prevented or treated. With an ageing global population, the demands for eye health services are increasing. We estimated the prevalence and relative contribution of avoidable causes of blindness and vision impairment globally from 1990 to 2020. We aimed to compare the results with the World Health Assembly Global Action Plan (WHA GAP) target of a 25% global reduction from 2010 to 2019 in avoidab…

  • Beyond pledges

    Open AccessBolajoko O Olusanya, Macpherson Mallewa et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2021

    The endemic discrimination in global health has attracted unprecedented attention since the killing of George Floyd and other black people in the USA in 2020.

  • Under-5 Mortality and Its Associated Factors in Northern Nigeria

    Open AccessOsita Kingsley Ezeh, Felix Akpojene Ogbo et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2021

    The northern geopolitical zones (NGZs) continue to report the highest under-5 mortality rates (U5MRs) among Nigeria's six geopolitical zones. This study was designed to identify factors related to under-5 mortality (U5M) in the NGZs. The NGZ populations extracted from the 2018 Nigeria Demographic and Health Survey were explored to assess the factors associated with U5M using logistic regression, generalised linear latent, and mixed models. Betwee…

  • Prenatal HIV Test Uptake and Its Associated Factors for Prevention of Mother to Child Transmission of HIV in East Africa

    Open AccessFeleke Hailemichael Astawesegn, Virginia Stulz et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2021

    Identifying the socioeconomic and structural issues that act as enablers and/or barriers to HIV testing services is critical in combatting HIV/AIDS amongst mothers and children in Africa. In this study, we used a weighted sample of 46,645 women aged 15-49 who gave birth in the two years preceding the survey from the recent DHS dataset of ten East African countries. Multivariable logistic regression was used to investigate the factors associated w…

  • Trends and determinants of HIV transmission among men who inject drugs in the Pokhara Valley, Nepal

    Open AccessSam Hogan, Andrew Page et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2021

    The prevalence of HIV in male PWIDs in Pokhara has been variable, but overall has reduced in recent years to 2.6% before increasing in 2017 to 4.9%. The main determinants which increase the risk of HIV among male PWIDs in Pokhara are low education level, a lack of treatment for drug addiction and the recent use of unsterilised equipment. Each of these indicate the need to improve addiction treatment and education programs for intra-venous drug us…

    Open AccessR Lozano, Nancy Fullman et al.ARTICLEThe Lancet2020

    BACKGROUND: Achieving universal health coverage (UHC) involves all people receiving the health services they need, of high quality, without experiencing financial hardship. Making progress towards UHC is a policy priority for both countries and global institutions, as highlighted by the agenda of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and WHO's Thirteenth General Programme of Work (GPW13). Measuring effective coverage at the health-system le…

  • Global burden of 369 diseases and injuries in 204 countries and territories, 1990–2019

    Open AccessTheo Vos, Stephen S Lim et al.ARTICLEThe Lancet2020

    BACKGROUND: In an era of shifting global agendas and expanded emphasis on non-communicable diseases and injuries along with communicable diseases, sound evidence on trends by cause at the national level is essential.

    Open AccessMansi Vijaybhai Dhami, Felix Akpojene Ogbo et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2020

    Studies on the association between infant and young child feeding (IYCF) practices and diarrhoea across regional India are limited. Hence, we examined the association between IYCF practices and diarrhoea in regional India. A weighted sample of 90,596 (North = 11,200, South = 16,469, East = 23,317, West = 11,512, Central = 24,870 and North-East = 3228) from the 2015-2016 National Family Health Survey in India was examined, using multivariate logis…

  • Trends and determinants of underweight and overweight/obesity among urban Ethiopian women from 2000 to 2016

    Open AccessKedir Yimam Ahmed, Solomon Abrha et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2020

    The prevalence of overweight/obesity increased from 2000 to 2016, with a concurrent reduction in the prevalence of underweight.
