Linking circular economy model and green supply chain practices to shape environmental performance: case of Vietnam.

The circular economy (SE) is the foremost element for environmental improvement that reduces wastage and enhances production. This aspect requires the focus of new researchers and experienced policymakers. Hence, the current research examines the impact of SE practices such as internal environmental management (IEM), eco-design, and internal recovery on the SE targeted performance, such as environmental performance in Vietnam.

Evaluation of community-based screening tools for the early screening of osteoporosis in postmenopausal Vietnamese women.

Background: Osteoporosis affects people worldwide. However, there are few validated tools for the early screening of osteoporosis in Vietnam. We set out to evaluate the performance of the osteoporosis self-assessment tool for Asians (OSTA) and the osteoporosis screening tool for Chinese (OSTC) for the early screening of osteoporosis in postmenopausal Vietnamese women.

Cost of postoperative sepsis in Vietnam.

Despite improvements in medical care, the burden of sepsis remains high. In this study, we evaluated the incremental cost associated with postoperative sepsis and the impact of postoperative sepsis on clinical outcomes among surgical patients in Vietnam. We used the national database that contained 1,241,893 surgical patients undergoing seven types of surgery.

Myocardial Infarction Complications After Surgery in Vietnam: Estimates of Incremental Cost, Readmission Risk, and Length of Hospital Stay.

Myocardial infarction is a considerable burden on public health. However, there is a lack of information about its economic impact on both the individual and national levels. This study aims to estimate the incremental cost, readmission risk, and length of hospital stay due to myocardial infarction as a post-operative complication.

Respiratory complications after surgery in Vietnam: National estimates of the economic burden.

Background: Estimating the cost of postoperative respiratory complications is crucial in developing appropriate strategies to mitigate the global and national economic burden. However, systematic analysis of the economic burden in low- and middle-income countries is lacking.

Methods: We used the nationwide database of the Vietnam Social Insurance agency and extracted data from January 2017 to September 2018.

Study Design for the 2016 Baseline Survey of a Health System Strengthening Project in Quoc Oai District, Hanoi, Vietnam.

Background: In order to provide essential scientific evidence on the population's health status and social health determinants as well as the current capacity of the health care system in Vietnam to health policy makers and managers, Vietnam Ministry of Health, Hanoi University of Public Health, Hanoi Medical University, and Ho Chi Minh University of Medicine and Pharmacy collaborated with Seoul National University (Korea) and conducted a health system survey in the Quoc Oai district (of Hanoi capital) that represented northern rural Vietnam.

Methods: The study design was a cross-sectional study. The survey covered different topics (more than 200 questions) and was administered in three separate questionnaires: 1) Basic information of all household members; 2) Household characteristics; and 3) Individual characteristics.

Potential collaboration with the private sector for the provision of ambulatory care in the Mekong region, Vietnam.

Background: Over the past two decades, health insurance in Vietnam has expanded nationwide. Concurrently, Vietnam's private health sector has developed rapidly and become an increasingly integral part of the health system. To date, however, little is understood regarding the potential for expanding public-private partnerships to improve health care access and outcomes in Vietnam.

The incidence of epilepsy in a rural district of Vietnam: a community-based epidemiologic study.

Purpose: Epidemiologic studies of epilepsy from developing countries are scarce. As part of a population-based epidemiologic project in Vietnam, EPIBAVI, we studied the incidence and etiology of epilepsy in people in a representative rural region of the country.

Methods: Two identical field surveys were carried out 3 years apart (January to December 2005, and June to December 2008) in the same population of the Bavi District in Vietnam.

The treatment gap of epilepsy in a rural district of Vietnam: a study from the EPIBAVI project.

We analyzed the treatment gap by interviewing 189 persons previously identified as having active epilepsy in a population-based epidemiological project in a rural district of Vietnam (EPIBAVI). Only 29 persons were on regular treatment with antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) at the time of the survey; treatment gap 84.7% [95% confidence interval (CI) 79.

The prevalence of epilepsy in a rural district of Vietnam: a population-based study from the EPIBAVI project.

A field survey was carried out to determine the prevalence of active epilepsy in northern Vietnam between January and December 2005, when members of approximately 13,000 households were screened for seizure disorders. A clinical examination of all screened positive was performed by a neurologist to verify the epilepsy diagnosis, and all epilepsy cases were offered an EEG. Out of 47,269 screened, 1,338 (2.

Knowledge attitudes and practice toward epilepsy among adults in BaVi, Vietnam: first report from the population-based EPIBAVI study.

Purpose: We conducted a survey to assess knowledge, attitudes, and practice toward epilepsy in a population-based study in a rural district of Vietnam.

Methods: We utilized an established knowledge-attitudes-practice questionnaire. This was applied by trained surveyors in face-to-face interviews of 2005 randomly selected adult residents (19-71 years of age) of the BaVi district, 60 km west of Hanoi.

Survey of public awareness, attitudes, and understanding toward epilepsy in Nhan Chinh, Hanoi, Vietnam, in 2003.

Purpose: Many studies have shown that cultural and social awareness of, attitudes toward, and knowledge about epilepsy can have an impact on the acceptance of treatment. The aim of this study is to characterize public awareness of attitudes toward and understanding of epilepsy in a Vietnamese community and to compare results with those obtained in other cultures.

Methods: A survey concerning the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of Vietnamese people with respect to epilepsy was carried out in the Nhan Chinh precinct of Hanoi.
