Comparing two data collection methods to track vital events in maternal and child health via community health workers in rural Nepal
Population Health Metrics - Tập 20 - Trang 1-11 - 2022
Timely tracking of health outcomes is difficult in low- and middle-income
countries without comprehensive vital registration systems. Community health
workers (CHWs) are increasingly collecting vital events data while delivering
routine care in low-resource settings. It is necessary, however, to assess
whether routine programmatic data collected by CHWs are sufficiently reliable
for timely monitor...
Population health metrics: crucial inputs to the development of evidence for health policy
Population Health Metrics - Tập 1 - Trang 1-4 - 2003
Valid, reliable and comparable measures of the health states of individuals and
of the health status of populations are critical components of the evidence base
for health policy. We need to develop population health measurement strategies
that coherently address the relationships between epidemiological measures (such
as risk exposures, incidence, and mortality rates) and multi-domain measures of...
The impact of individual-level heterogeneity on estimated infectious disease burden: a simulation study
Population Health Metrics - - 2016
Disease burden is not evenly distributed within a population; this uneven
distribution can be due to individual heterogeneity in progression rates between
disease stages. Composite measures of disease burden that are based on disease
progression models, such as the disability-adjusted life year (DALY), are widely
used to quantify the current and future burden of infectious diseases. Our goal
was t...
Autoregression as a means of assessing the strength of seasonality in a time series
Population Health Metrics - Tập 1 - Trang 1-7 - 2003
The study of the seasonal variation of disease is receiving increasing attention
from health researchers. Available statistical tests for seasonality typically
indicate the presence or absence of statistically significant seasonality but do
not provide a meaningful measure of its strength. We propose the coefficient of
determination of the autoregressive regression model fitted to the data ( ) as ...
Social capital is associated with lower mosquito vector indices: secondary analysis from a cluster randomised controlled trial of community mobilisation for dengue prevention in Mexico
Population Health Metrics - Tập 17 - Trang 1-11 - 2019
Control of the Aedes aegypti mosquito is central to reducing the risk of dengue,
zika, chikungunya, and yellow fever. Randomised controlled trials, including the
Camino Verde trial in Mexico and Nicaragua, demonstrate the convincing impact of
community mobilisation interventions on vector indices. These interventions
might work through building social capital but little is known about the
relation...
A latent class analysis of attitudes concerning the acceptability of intimate partner violence in rural Senegal
Population Health Metrics - Tập 18 - Trang 1-8 - 2020
Research concerning the causes and consequences of intimate partner violence
(IPV), particularly in less developed areas of the world, has become prominent
in the last two decades. Although a number of potential causal factors have been
investigated the current consensus is that attitudes toward IPV on the
individual level, likely representing perceptions of normative behavior, and the
normative a...
Information–processing methods for mortality surveillance in the presence of varying levels of completeness and ill–defined codes of causes of death – the case of Brazil
Population Health Metrics - Tập 12 - Trang 1-7 - 2014
The World Health Organization has developed proposals on how efforts to reduce
non–communicable diseases (NCD) in low– and middle–income countries may be
monitored over time. One of the proposed indicators is the unconditional
probability of death between the ages of 30 and 70 from any of the four main
groups of non–communicable diseases – cardiovascular disease, cancer, chronic
respiratory diseas...
Effect of birthweight measurement quality improvement on low birthweight prevalence in rural Ethiopia
Population Health Metrics - Tập 19 - Trang 1-7 - 2021
Low birthweight (LBW) (< 2500 g) is a significant determinant of infant
morbidity and mortality worldwide. In low-income settings, the quality of
birthweight data suffers from measurement and recording errors, inconsistent
data reporting systems, and missing data from non-facility births. This paper
describes birthweight data quality and the prevalence of LBW before and after
implementation of a b...
Method for reconstructing mortality by educational groups
Population Health Metrics - Tập 19 - Trang 1-8 - 2021
The lack of classification by educational attainment in death and population
exposure data at older ages is an important constraint for studying changes and
patterns of mortality disparities by education in Denmark and Sweden. The
missing educational distribution of population also restricts analyses aiming at
estimating contributions of compositional change to the improvements in national
longevi...
Towards a subsiding diabetes epidemic: trends from a large population-based study in Israel
Population Health Metrics - Tập 12 - Trang 1-8 - 2014
With increasing diabetes prevalence worldwide, an impending diabetes “pandemic”
has been reported. However, definitions of incident cases and the population at
risk remain varied and ambiguous. This study analyzed trends in mortality and
screening that contribute to diabetes prevalence and incidence, distinguishing
between new incident cases and newly detected cases. In an integrated
provider-and-...
