Effects of COVID-19 on Maternal and Neonatal Outcomes and Access to Antenatal and Postnatal Care, Malawi
Emerg Infect Dis. 2023 Aug 28;29(10). doi: 10.3201/eid2910.230003. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTWe used national facility-level data from all government hospitals in Malawi to examine the effects of the second and third COVID-19 waves on maternal and neonatal outcomes and access to care during September 6, 2020-October 31, 2021. The COVID-19 pandemic affected maternal and neonatal health not only through direct infections but also through disruption of the health system, which could have wider indirect effects on critical maternal and neonatal outcomes. In an interrupted time series analysis, we noted a cumulative 15.4% r...

Participatory Mathematical Modeling Approach for Policymaking during the First Year of the COVID-19 Crisis, Jordan
Emerg Infect Dis. 2023 Sep;29(9):1738-1746. doi: 10.3201/eid2909.221493.ABSTRACTWe engaged in a participatory modeling approach with health sector stakeholders in Jordan to support government decision-making regarding implementing public health measures to mitigate COVID-19 disease burden. We considered the effect of 4 physical distancing strategies on reducing COVID-19 transmission and mortality in Jordan during March 2020-January 2021: no physical distancing; intermittent physical distancing where all but essential services are closed once a week; intermittent physical distancing where all but essential services are clos...

A multi-state survey of farm-level preparedness towards African Swine Fever outbreak in Nigeria
This study evaluated preparedness for ASF outbreaks at the farm level among 247 pig farmers randomly selected from Abia, Akwa-Ibom, Edo, Kwara, and Oyo states. We categorized each pig farmer's ASF preparedness rating (ASF - PR) as "poor", "moderate", and "satisfactory" based on their score on an 11-item scale. Finally, a multivariable logistic regression analysis was conducted to assess the association between the socio-demographic variables and farm-level ASF preparedness. The awareness of ASF among pig farmers was very high (87.9%, n = 217). Most farmers knew the clinical signs of the disease, the modes of transmission o...

Trends in participation in rubella antibody testing among working-aged men during annual health check-ups from 2019 to 2022 in Japan
Jpn J Infect Dis. 2023 Jun 30. doi: 10.7883/yoken.JJID.2022.614. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIn 2019, the Japanese government set up a scheme for rubella antibody testing during workplace health check-ups for men born between fiscal years 1962 and 1978. However, use of vouchers for rubella antibody testing remains low. Health check-up data analyses are needed to determine the reason rubella antibody testing is not widely used. In this research, we aimed to clarify how rubella antibody test-taking behaviour during health check-ups has changed over the first 3 years of the rubella catch-up campaign in Japan. The vouchers w...

Knowledge about hepatitis E and influencing factors among the residents in Qingdao: A cross-sectional study
This study used online survey on the Wechat platform for investigation. Chi-square test was used to compare the hepatitis E influencing factors between subgroups. Binary logistic regression was used for multiple factor analysis to explore the hepatitis E influencing factors. We have found the total awareness rate of hepatitis E was 60.51%. Females, aged between 51 and 60, aged 61 and above, worked in government-affiliated departments were found to have higher awareness rate than other subgroups. The participants who have family members infected with hepatitis E were found to have lower awareness rate. The government and re...
