Incidence and outcomes for stroke in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, during 2019-21: a prospective population-based study.

Background: In the absence of reliable data to quantify the burden of stroke, we aimed to determine the incidence and outcome of stroke through the conduct of a prospective population-based study in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, during 2019-21.

Methods: All cases of stroke were identified through surveillance of multiple overlapping sources of hospitalised, ambulatory, and deceased individuals, using standardised diagnostic criteria in adult (aged ≥16 years) residents of the six urban districts of Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia (population person-years, N=1 896 965) between Jan 1, 2019, and Dec 31, 2020. Data on sociodemography, medical history, and management were collected.

A case series of fatal meningoencephalitis in Mongolia: epidemiological and molecular characteristics of tick-borne encephalitis virus.

In Mongolia, the incidence and fatality rates of tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) have been increasing. We aimed to identify the epidemiological and molecular characteristics of tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) associated with fatal meningoencephalitis in Mongolia. We conducted a descriptive study of 14 fatal cases of TBE that occurred between 2008 and 2017 in Mongolia.

The impact of the environment on health in Mongolia: a systematic review.

Mongolia has significant exposure to environmental risk factors because of poor environmental management and behaviors, and children are increasingly vulnerable to these threats. This study aimed to assess levels of exposure and summarize the evidence for associations between exposures to environmental risk factors and adverse health outcomes in Mongolia, with a particular focus on children. A systematic review was conducted using the PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, Global Health Library, CINAHL, CABI, Scopus, and mongolmed.
