Prevalence of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus in Australia, 2010–2022: A Population‐Based Study Using Linked National Administrative Health Data

Arthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.
Objectives Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a heterogenous inflammatory condition, with widely varying global prevalence estimates. Frequency of SLE in the general population of Australia has been reported to be notably lower than contemporary estimates in countries such as the US or UK at 19‐39 per 100,000 as opposed to 65‐97 per 100,000.

Measuring progress towards achieving Millennium Development Goals in small populations: is under‐five mortality in Tuvalu declining?

Australian and New Zealand Journal of Public Health, 2014
Objectives: Infant mortality rates (IMR) and under‐five mortality rates (U5MR) in Tuvalu (2010 population 11,149) for 1990–2011 were evaluated to determine best estimates of levels and trends.

A double-masked placebo-controlled trial of azithromycin to prevent child mortality in Burkina Faso, West Africa: Community Health with Azithromycin Trial (CHAT) study protocol. [PDF]

, 2019
BACKGROUND:Biannual, mass azithromycin distribution has previously been shown to reduce all-cause child mortality in sub-Saharan Africa. Subgroup analysis suggested that the strongest effects were in the youngest children, leading to the hypothesis that ...

Under-two child mortality according to maternal HIV status in Rwanda: assessing outcomes within the National PMTCT Program

The Pan African Medical Journal, 2011
INTRODUCTION: We sought to compare risk of death among children aged under-2 years born to HIV positive mother (HIV-exposed) and to HIV negative mother (HIV non-exposed), and identify determinants of under-2 mortality among the two groups in Rwanda ...
