Background: The COVID-19 pandemic and the ensuing implementation of control measures caused widespread societal disruption. These disruptions may also have affected community transmission and seasonal circulation patterns of endemic respiratory viruses.
Objective: We aimed to investigate the impact of COVID-19-related disruption on influenza-related emergency hospital admissions and deaths in Wales in the first 2 years of the pandemic.
Article Synopsis
- - Streptococcus pneumoniae (Spn) is a major cause of bacterial meningitis in children, but the introduction of pneumococcal conjugate vaccines is helping to decrease its prevalence, though monitoring is still essential due to issues like serotype replacement and antibiotic resistance as well as effects from the COVID-19 pandemic.
- - This systematic review aims to provide an updated assessment of Spn meningitis incidence and mortality in children globally and regionally, which will help shape public health policies and strategies.
- - The review includes population-based studies published from 2000 to 2022, focusing on cases in children aged 0-4. Key metrics such as incidence, prevalence, mortality, and case-fatality ratios will be
Background: In this priority-setting exercise, we sought to identify leading research priorities needed for strengthening future pandemic preparedness and response across countries.
Methods: The International Society of Global Health (ISoGH) used the Child Health and Nutrition Research Initiative (CHNRI) method to identify research priorities for future pandemic preparedness. Eighty experts in global health, translational and clinical research identified 163 research ideas, of which 42 experts then scored based on five pre-defined criteria.
Background: Vitamin A deficiency (VAD) is widely recognised as a major public health concern in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Despite various interventions implemented in many countries, a lack of reliable data is hindering progress. We aimed to consolidate available data and quantify estimates of the prevalence of VAD among children ≤18 years in LMICs.
