Objective: This analysis is to present the burden and trends of morbidity and mortality due to lower respiratory infections (LRIs), their contributing risk factors, and the disparity across administrative regions and cities from 1990 to 2019.
Design: This analysis used Global Burden of Disease 2019 framework to estimate morbidity and mortality outcomes of LRI and its contributing risk factors. The Global Burden of Disease study uses all available data sources and Cause of Death Ensemble model to estimate deaths from LRI and a meta-regression disease modelling technique to estimate LRI non-fatal outcomes with 95% uncertainty intervals (UI).
Purpose: To determine the effect of interpersonal psychotherapy on anxiety, depression, and quality of life among breast cancer patients with mental health disorders at Tikur Anbessa Specialized Hospital, Ethiopia.
Methods: A two-arm parallel randomized controlled trial study was conducted among 114 (n = 57 intervention, and n = 57 control group) breast cancer patients with common mental health disorder at the oncology center of Tikur Anbessa Specialized Hospital. The hospital anxiety and depression measurement scale was used to assess depression and anxiety disorder and a 30-item quality of life questionnaire was used to assess the quality of life.
Article Synopsis
- Mortality from injuries is rising globally, and Ethiopia has limited data on the impact of different types of injuries, highlighting a need for more research on the national burden of injuries.
- The study utilized data from the Global Burden of Diseases 2017 to analyze injury metrics such as death rates and Disability-Adjusted Life Years (DALYs) across different demographics and compare them with other East African countries.
- Results indicate a decrease in injury death rates and DALYs from 2007 to 2017, yet injuries remain a significant health issue, especially among males, young children, and adolescents.
