Background: Haematological malignancies diagnosed during pregnancy are rare, with increasing incidence, presenting unique therapeutic, social and ethical challenges for treating teams, patients and their family. There are no national guidelines regarding appropriate referral pathways, resources and services for the management of these patients.
Aims: To conduct a systematic review of the literature to identify the multidisciplinary team members required for optimal care of pregnant patients with haematological malignancies.
Objective: The exclusion of pregnant women and infants from many randomized controlled trials (RCTs) has left critical gaps in medication safety, complicating clinical decision-making during these sensitive life stages. This commentary explores target trial emulation using real-world data as a robust alternative for advancing medication safety research when RCTs are not feasible.
Methods: Target trial emulation replicates the design principles of RCTs within observational data, accounting for the dynamic nature of medication exposure across gestational stages and adjusting for time-varying confounders.
Introduction: During the COVID-19 response, Kenya experienced widespread regional floods, resulting in the displacement of communities and agricultural loss. This study aimed to characterise food insecurity and other social and economic impacts of these emergencies on people living with HIV and to investigate whether and how existing microfinance activities in place before the events influenced social and economic instability.
Methods: We used sequential explanatory mixed methods guided by a conceptual model.
