  • Severe, primary, and incidental Covid-19 in hospitalised children, South Africa

    Open AccessAmeena Ebrahim Goga, Ameena Goga et al.ARTICLEJournal of Global Health2026

    Background: Knowledge gaps persist regarding paediatric COVID-19 clinical presentation, treatment and outcomes in high HIV prevalence settings, with low COVID-19 vaccine coverage. Methods: An ambi-directional cohort study was conducted in 13 South African public sector hospitals. Hospitalised children with SARS-CoV-2 infection or post-infection syndrome were included. Main outcomes measures included severe disease and primary COVID-19 (hospitalis…

  • The impact of Covid-19 on a South African pediatric cardiac service

    Open AccessThomas Aldersley, Andre Brooks et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2023

    Background and Objectives The Western Cape public pediatric cardiac service is under-resourced. COVID-19 regulations are likely to have long-term effects on patient care but may provide insight into service capacity requirements. As such, we aimed to quantify the impact of COVID-19 regulations on this service. Methods An uncontrolled retrospective pre-post study of all presenting patients over two, one-year periods; the pre-COVID-19 period (01/03…

  • Tertiary prevention and treatment of rheumatic heart disease

    Open AccessDominique Vervoort, Christopher Sabo Yilgwan et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2023

    Although entirely preventable, rheumatic heart disease (RHD), a disease of poverty and social disadvantage resulting in high morbidity and mortality, remains an ever-present burden in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs) and rural, remote, marginalised and disenfranchised populations within high-income countries. In late 2021, the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute convened a workshop to explore the current state of science, to i…

  • Recommendations for developing effective and safe paediatric and congenital heart disease services in low-income and middle-income countries

    Open AccessBabar S Hasan, Babar Hasan et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2023

    The global burden of paediatric and congenital heart disease (PCHD) is substantial. We propose a novel public health framework with recommendations for developing effective and safe PCHD services in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs). This framework was created by the Global Initiative for Children’s Surgery Cardiac Surgery working group in collaboration with a group of international rexperts in providing paediatric and congenital car…

  • Health trends, inequalities and opportunities in South Africa’s provinces, 1990–2019

    Open AccessTom Achoki, Benn Sartorius et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2022Referências: 30

    BACKGROUND: Over the last 30 years, South Africa has experienced four 'colliding epidemics' of HIV and tuberculosis, chronic illness and mental health, injury and violence, and maternal, neonatal, and child mortality, which have had substantial effects on health and well-being. Using data from the 2019 Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries and Risk Factors Study (GBD 2019), we evaluated national and provincial health trends and progress towards imp…

  • Health system costs of rheumatic heart disease care in South Africa

    Open AccessAssegid G Hellebo, Liesl J Zühlke et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2021

    RHD-related healthcare consumes significant tertiary hospital resources in South Africa, with annual per-patient costs higher than many other non-communicable and infectious diseases. This analysis supports the scaling up of primary and secondary prevention programmes at primary health centers in order to reduce future tertiary care costs. The study could also inform resource allocation efforts and provide cost estimates for future studies of int…

  • Global Burden of Cardiovascular Diseases and Risk Factors, 1990–2019

    Open AccessGregory A Roth, George A Mensah et al.ARTICLEJournal of the American College…2020

    Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), principally ischemic heart disease (IHD) and stroke, are the leading cause of global mortality and a major contributor to disability. This paper reviews the magnitude of total CVD burden, including 13 underlying causes of cardiovascular death and 9 related risk factors, using estimates from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) Study 2019. GBD, an ongoing multinational collaboration to provide comparable and consisten…

  • Time to tackle rheumatic heart disease

    Open AccessMarian Abouzeid, Rosemary Wyber et al.ARTICLEGlobal Public Health2018

    Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) is an avoidable disease of poverty that persists predominantly in low resource settings and among Indigenous and other high-risk populations in some high-income nations. Following a period of relative global policy inertia on RHD, recent years have seen a resurgence of research, policy and civil society activity to tackle RHD; this has culminated in growing momentum at the highest levels of global health diplomacy to…
