Health quality management practises for cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and obesity care in the UAE
Background: Non-communicable diseases (NCDs), such as cardiovascular diseases (CVD), diabetes, and obesity, are increasingly prevalent in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), driven by lifestyle changes and demographic shifts. This review maps the current research landscape on health quality management (HQM) practises for the three NCDs in the UAE, uniquely analysed through health quality frameworks. Methods: A scoping review of UAE-based studies and …
Tobacco smoking patterns in the emirate of Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates
Introduction: Tobacco smoking is a leading yet preventable risk factor for morbidity and mortality worldwide. As in western countries, the Arab world also encounters the growing tobacco epidemic. Assessment of smoking prevalence is a key step in identification of emerging trends, thus enabling planning of preventive measures. Methods: This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of tobacco smoking among applicants of the Premarital Screening Progr…
Exploring knowledge, attitude, practices and barriers toward colorectal cancer screening in the United Arab Emirates
Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a major contributor to cancer-related morbidity and mortality worldwide. In the United Arab Emirates (UAE), the CRC screening program was introduced in 2014, and it was expected that the program would face challenges, including low participation and poor adherence. However, there is limited research to document awareness and uptake of colorectal cancer screening among the UAE population. Aim: This study aime…
Co-Producing Health Quality Management Improvements in Cardiovascular Disease, Diabetes, and Obesity Care in UAE
Cardiovascular disease (CVD), diabetes, and obesity pose major public health challenges in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), contributing substantially to morbidity, mortality, and healthcare expenditure. Despite progress in expanding access and service delivery, Health Quality Management (HQM) practices remain constrained. This study represents one of the first comprehensive, co-productive efforts to evaluate and strengthen HQM for CVD, diabetes a…
Burden of disease scenarios for 204 countries and territories, 2022–2050
BACKGROUND: Future trends in disease burden and drivers of health are of great interest to policy makers and the public at large. This information can be used for policy and long-term health investment, planning, and prioritisation. We have expanded and improved upon previous forecasts produced as part of the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) and provide a reference forecast (the most likely future), and alternativ…
Global age-sex-specific mortality, life expectancy, and population estimates in 204 countries and territories and 811 subnational locations, 1950–2021, and the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic
BACKGROUND: Estimates of demographic metrics are crucial to assess levels and trends of population health outcomes. The profound impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on populations worldwide has underscored the need for timely estimates to understand this unprecedented event within the context of long-term population health trends. The Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2021 provides new demographic estimates for 204 cou…
Reasons behind Low Cervical Screening Uptake among South Asian Immigrant Women
Despite advancements in prevention strategies, cervical cancer remains a leading cause of death among underprivileged women. Although Australia has low age-standardized cervical cancer incidence rates compared with other countries, disparities exist in cervical screening uptake among certain population subgroups, especially those from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds. South Asian immigrant women have been reported to have …
What do South Asian immigrant women know about HPV, cervical cancer and its early detection
Cervical cancer commonly caused by Human Papillomavirus (HPV) imposes a significant burden in Asia. This study examined the awareness and knowledge of HPV, cervical cancer, and its early detection methods among South Asian immigrant women in Australia to determine factors associated with knowledge deficits. A cross-sectional internet-based survey was completed by a convenience sample of women (n=148), with South-Asian background, residing in Quee…
