High entomological inoculation rate of malaria vectors in area of high coverage of interventions in southwest Ethiopia: Implication for residual malaria transmission

Parasite Epidemiology and Control, 2017
In Ethiopia, vector control is the principal strategy to reduce the burden of malaria. The entomological indicators of malaria transmission such as density, sporozoite rate and entomological inoculation rate (EIR) are parameters used to assess the impact

Domestic and International Health Expenditure and Health and Healthcare Use: Evidence From Mozambique

Health Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Evidence on the relationship between public health expenditure and health is mixed and particularly scarce for low‐income countries. Existing studies overlook the subnational distribution of expenditure and rarely distinguish between sources and governance over funding.

Intrapartum oral azithromycin for maternal infection prophylaxis and the risk of postpartum hemorrhage: A secondary analysis of the A‐PLUS trial

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective A single oral dose of azithromycin (AZM) given during labor to women planning a vaginal delivery reduced maternal infections including sepsis, with a stronger effect in sub‐Saharan Africa than South Asia. Since maternal infection contributes to labor dysfunction and postpartum hemorrhage (PPH), we evaluated the effect of AZM on the ...
