A comparison of verbal autopsy assignment methods to obtain adult cause-specific mortality in two longitudinal studies in Rakai and Kalungu districts of South Central, Uganda
Verbal Autopsy (VA) data determines cause of death (CoD) in settings where certification is lacking, using structured interviews on symptoms and circumstances before death. Various methods are used to interpret this information and assign a probable cause of death. Debate exists over replacing physician reviews with automated methods. We compared physician reviews with two computer algorithms in assigning adult CoD. We used adult (≥15 years) VA d…

Within-country heterogeneity in patterns of social contact relevant for tuberculosis infection transmission, prevention, and care
Mycobacterium tuberculosis ( Mtb ) transmission is driven by variable social, environmental, and biological factors, including the number and duration of indoor contacts. Social contact data can provide information on potential transmission patterns, but is underutilised outside the field of mathematical modelling. We explore three contexts where contact data can provide valuable insights: 1) household contact tracing; 2) infection prevention and…
Prediction models for Mtb infection among adolescent and adult household contacts in high tuberculosis incidence settings
Tuberculosis household contacts are at high risk of developing tuberculosis. Tuberculosis preventive therapy (TPT) is highly effective, but implementation is hindered by limited accessibility of diagnostic tests aimed at detecting Mycobacterium tuberculosis ( Mtb) infection. Development of Mtb infection prediction models to guide clinical decision-making aims to overcome these challenges. We used data from 1905 tuberculosis household contacts (ag…
Examining the Relationship between Perception of Politics, Coworker Incivility, Job Stress and Knowledge Hiding behavior in Educational Settings
Researchers have recently become quite interested in the knowledge-hiding behaviors of employees. Therefore, the study aims to examine the effects of perception of organizational politics, coworkers’ incivility on knowledge hiding behavior of employ with moderating role of job stress. The researcher adopted a cross sectional research design to collect data from the education sector employees of Islamabad and Rawalpindi regions by using purposive …
Insights into tuberculosis burden in Karachi, Pakistan
Pakistan is one of the five highest tuberculosis burden countries globally. We estimated prevalence of adult bacteriologically confirmed pulmonary tuberculosis and annual risk of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M . tuberculosis) infection in children aged 2–4 years in Karachi, Pakistan. The survey design enabled exploration of tuberculosis burden by whether the population had previously been exposed to widespread tuberculosis active case-finding (ACF…
Prevalence of chronic conditions and multimorbidity among healthcare workers in Zimbabwe
The burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in southern Africa is expanding and is superimposed on high HIV prevalence. Healthcare workers are a scarce resource; yet are vital to health systems. There are very limited studies on the burden of chronic conditions among healthcare workers in Africa, and none exploring multimorbidity (≥2 chronic conditions). We describe the epidemiology of infectious (HIV) and non-communicable chronic conditions, …
Comparative effectiveness of adding delamanid to a multidrug-resistant tuberculosis regimen comprised of three drugs likely to be effective
Clarity about the role of delamanid in longer regimens for multidrug-resistant TB is needed after discordant Phase IIb and Phase III randomized controlled trial results. The Phase IIb trial found that the addition of delamanid to a background regimen hastened culture conversion; the results of the Phase III trial were equivocal. We evaluated the effect of adding delamanid for 24 weeks to three-drug MDR/RR-TB regimens on two- and six-month culture…
The effect of internal displacement due to armed conflict on tuberculosis treatment outcomes in northwest Syria, 2019–2020
This is one of few studies which aims to quantify the effect of internal displacement on TB treatment outcomes during times of conflict. Our findings starkly highlight how social determinants contribute to poor TB outcomes and act as a starting point for much needed research on how best to manage TB in humanitarian crisis settings
Re-evaluating the merits of decentralization as a core strategy for effective delivery of drug-resistant tuberculosis care in Pakistan
Decentralized, person-centred models of care delivery for drug-resistant tuberculosis (DR-TB) continue to be under-resourced in high-burden TB countries. The implementation of such models—made increasingly urgent by the COVID-19 pandemic—are key to addressing gaps in DR-TB care. We abstracted data of rifampicin-resistant (RR)/multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) patients initiated on treatment at 11 facilities between 2010 and 2017 in Sindh …
Lockdown measures in response to Covid-19 in nine sub-Saharan African countries
Lockdown measures have been introduced worldwide to contain the transmission of COVID-19. However, the term ‘lockdown’ is not well-defined. Indeed, WHO’s reference to ‘so-called lockdown measures’ indicates the absence of a clear and universally accepted definition of the term ‘lockdown’. We propose a definition of ‘lockdown’ based on a two-by-two matrix that categorises different communicable disease measures based on whether they are compulsory…
