Medical & Socioeconomic Risk Factors Associated with Lack of Neurodevelopmental Evaluation Following Neonatal Cardiac Surgery.

Neonates with congenital heart disease (CHD) who undergo cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) are at high-risk for unfavorable neurodevelopmental (ND) outcomes and are recommended for ND evaluation (NDE); however, poor rates have been reported. We aimed to identify risk factors associated with lack of NDE. This single-center retrospective observational study included neonates < 30 days old who underwent CPB and survived to discharge between 2012 and 2018.

Person-centered contraceptive counseling and associations with contraceptive practices among a nationally representative sample of women in Ethiopia.

Objectives: To estimate levels of person-centered contraceptive counseling among current and recent contraceptive users, assess for whom counseling differs, and examine the relationship between counseling and contraceptive practices, specifically use of provider-dependent methods and use of one's preferred method, among women in Ethiopia.

Descriptive analyses estimated person-centered counseling levels via the recently validated quality of contraceptive counseling short scale (QCC-10).
