A comparative study on person-centered care practice between public and private General Hospitals in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

Background: Person-centered care practice has not yet been fully adopted in low- and middle-income nations such as Ethiopia. It focuses on improving several areas of patient-physician interaction. Despite Ethiopia's rapid growth in healthcare facilities, there is insufficient data available on care practices.

The prevalence and associated factors of the minimum acceptable diet among children aged 6-23 months in Ethiopia: A community-based cross-sectional study.

Background: A minimum acceptable diet for children aged 6-23 months is limited globally, with Ethiopia's proportion reducing to one in nine. This study was aimed to assess the prevalence of the minimum acceptable diet and associated factors among children aged 6-23 months in Dera town, Oromia, Ethiopia.

Methods: A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted.

Factors influencing concurrent wasting, stunting, and underweight among children under five who suffered from severe acute malnutrition in low- and middle-income countries: a systematic review.

Background: Wasting, stunting, and underweight in children are complex health challenges shaped by a combination of immediate, underlying, and systemic factors. Even though copious data demonstrates that the causation routes for stunting and wasting are similar, little is known about the correlations between the diseases in low- and middle-income nations.

Objective: The objective of this study is to evaluate the factors that concurrently affect wasting, stunting, and underweight in <5-year-olds with severe acute malnutrition (SAM).

Determinants of stillbirth among mothers who gave birth at Bishoftu General Hospital, Ethiopia: using a Bayesian logistic regression model.

Introduction: Stillbirth remains a major public health problem in developing countries due to low health coverage and services. Approximately two million stillbirths occur every year; in particular, stillbirths are highly prevalent in low- and middle-income countries such as Ethiopia. However, there is scarce information available in Ethiopia regarding the determinants of stillbirth.

Metabolic syndrome among type 2 Diabetes Mellitus patients in Ethiopia: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Introduction: The prevalence of metabolic syndrome among type 2 diabetes mellitus patients was inconsistent in Ethiopia. Therefore, we aimed to pool the prevalence of metabolic syndrome among type 2 diabetes mellitus patients using a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Methods: PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library databases were systematically searched for relevant articles from January 2023 to January 2024.

Adherence to recommended diet among patients with diabetes mellitus type 2 on follow-up at Adama Hospital Medical College, Ethiopia.

Introduction: Non-adherence to dietary guidelines is a significant challenge in managing diabetes mellitus and its complications. Its consequences were significantly associated with a deterioration in patients' quality of life and an increased socioeconomic burden on healthcare delivery systems. This study aimed to assess the magnitude of adherence to recommended diet and associated factors among patients with diabetes mellitus type 2 on follow-up care at Adama Hospital Medical College Oromia, Ethiopia.

Why does the number of antenatal care visits in Ethiopia remain low?: A Bayesian multilevel approach.

Introduction: Antenatal care (ANC) visit is a proxy for maternal and neonatal health. The ANC is a key indicator of access and utilization of health care for pregnant women. Recently, eight times ANC visits have been recommended during the pregnancy period.

Metabolic syndrome in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus at Adama Hospital Medical College, Ethiopia: a hospital-based cross-sectional study.

Background: Metabolic syndrome is one of the most serious global public health problems. It is associated with a higher risk of heart attack and other cardiovascular diseases. However, the magnitude of metabolic syndrome among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus is not well understood, especially in developing countries such as Ethiopia.

Timely initiation of postpartum contraceptive utilization in Sebata Hawas district, Ethiopia: A cross-sectional study.

Lack of timely initiating of postpartum contraceptive utilization may lead to mistimed, unintended pregnancies and even become dying as a result of complications related to pregnancy and childbirth. To the best of our knowledge, we have not found enough evidence on the associated factors of timely initiation of postpartum contraceptive utilization in the rural setting of Ethiopia. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the prevalence of timely initiation of postpartum contraceptive utilization and associated factors among women of childbearing age in Sebat Hawas, Oromia, Ethiopia.

Association between urine albumin to creatinine ratio and bone mineral density: a cross-sectional study.

Background: Studies on the association between urinary albumin to creatinine ratio (ACR) and bone mineral density (BMD) are still controversial.

Aims: This study investigated the association between ACR and BMD in the general US population.

Methods: This cross-sectional study identified 2007 individuals aged 40 or above years with complete and valid data on urinary albumin to creatinine ratio (ACR) and femoral neck, total femur and lumbar spine BMD from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2013-2014.

Effects of β-carotene intake on the risk of fracture: a Bayesian meta-analysis.

Background: Epidemiological studies examining the association between β-carotene intake and risk of fracture have reported inconsistent findings. We conducted a meta-analysis to investigate the association between β-carotene intake and risk of fracture.

Methods: We systematically searched PubMed, EMBASE and Cochrane library databases for relevant articles that were published until December 2019.

Thiazide Use and Fracture Risk: An updated Bayesian Meta-Analysis.

The association between thiazide use and fracture risk is still controversial. We conducted an updated meta-analysis on the association between thiazide use and fracture risk. We systematically searched PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane library databases for all types of human studies, including observational and experimental studies that were published up until July 2019.
