Determinant factors of the longitudinal pulse pressure among hypertensive patients treated at Assosa general hospital, Western Ethiopia.

Background: Hypertension is a common, long-term condition that tends to be associated with age and can lead to significant cardiovascular complications. This study aimed to identify factors influencing the longitudinal Pulse Pressure of hypertensive patients treated at Assosa General Hospital (AGH), Western Ethiopia.

Spatial variation of short birth intervals and their determinant factors among reproductive women in Ethiopia using a geographically weighted regression model.

Background: In low- and middle-income nations, a significant proportion of maternal and infant deaths are caused by a short birth interval (SBI). In Ethiopia, it is the main factor contributing to maternal and infant mortality. Understanding the spatial distribution of SBIs, i.

Exploring functional abilities and competing risks among stroke patients: a longitudinal and survival analysis study at Felege Hiwot Referral Hospital, Ethiopia.

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate competing risks and functional ability measures among patients who had a stroke.

Design: A joint model comprising two related submodels was applied: a cause-specific hazard submodel for competing drop-out and stroke-related death risks, and a partial proportional odd submodel for longitudinal functional ability.

Setting: Felege Hiwot Referral Hospital, Ethiopia.
