Chronic Morbidities Overrule Acute Morbidities in Determining Self-Reported Health in Rural Bangladesh.

Self- rated health (SRH) is a valuable screening-level measure of a community's health status. A better understanding of the factors that influence SRH is time-demanding and challenging. This study aims to examine the determinants of SRH by investigating health morbidities, demographic and socio-economic factors in Bangladesh perspective.

Cost-effectiveness analysis of a large-scale crèche intervention to prevent child drowning in rural Bangladesh.

Background: Drowning is the leading cause of death among children 12-59 months old in rural Bangladesh. This study evaluated the cost-effectiveness of a large-scale crèche (daycare) intervention in preventing child drowning.

Methods: The cost of the crèches intervention was evaluated using an ingredients-based approach and monthly expenditure data collected prospectively throughout the study period from two agencies implementing the intervention in different study areas.

Challenges in Documenting Non-Fatal Drowning Disability in Bangladesh: A Community-Based Survey.

Limited access to health care and the lack of robust data systems means non-fatal drownings are largely missed in low-and middle-income countries. We report morbidity among individuals who experienced non-fatal drowning in the Barishal Division, Bangladesh. A representative household survey was conducted in the Barishal Division in southern Bangladesh between September 2016 and February 2017, covering a population of 386,016.

Screening tools for early identification of children with developmental delay in low- and middle-income countries: a systematic review.

Objective: To systematically review, identify and report the screening tools used for early identification of developmental delay in low- and middle-income countries.

Design: Systematic review.

Data Sources: Four bibliographic databases: Medline (1946 to 13 July 2020), Embase (1974 to 13 July 2020), Scopus (1823 to 11 July 2020) and PsycINFO (1987 to July week 1 2020).

Large-scale evaluation of interventions designed to reduce childhood Drownings in rural Bangladesh: a before and after cohort study.

Background: This paper estimates the impact on childhood drowning rates of community-based introduction of crèches or playpens or both in rural Bangladesh for children aged 0-47 months.

Methods: A baseline census of the whole population of 270,387 households in 51 unions, 451 villages from 7 rural sub-districts in Bangladesh was conducted in 2013. The baseline census determined retrospective, age-specific, and cumulative drowning incidence rates (IR) experienced in the target households in the 12 months prior to the intervention.
