Multilevel bivariate analysis of the association between high-risk fertility behaviors of birth and stunting with associated risk factors in Ethiopia.

Introduction: Currently, the linkage between high-risk fertility behavior of birth and the occurrence of stunting among children under the age of 5 continues to be a significant public health problem in developing countries, including Ethiopia. This issue poses a threat to the health and overall wellbeing of under-five children. Thus, the main objective of this study was to examine the association between high-risk fertility behavior of birth and the stunting status of children and associated factors.

Spatio-temporal distributions and determinants of diarrhea among under-five children in Ethiopia.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the spatio-temporal pattern of Ethiopia's childhood diarrheal disease and identify its contributing factors.

Methods: We conducted analyses on secondary data from four Ethiopian Demographic and Health Surveys conducted between 2000 and 2016. Moran's I was used to determine spatial dependence and spatial models were used to evaluate variables associated with diarrhea in under-five children at the zonal level.

Bayesian modeling of quantiles of body mass index among under-five children in Ethiopia.

Background: Body Mass Index (BMI) is a measurement of nutritional status, which is a vital pre-condition for good health. The prevalence of childhood malnutrition and the potential long-term health risks associated with obesity in Ethiopia have recently increased globally. The main objective of this study was to investigate the factors associated with the quantiles of under-five children's BMI in Ethiopia.

Spatiotemporal modeling of under-five mortality and associated risk factors in Ethiopia using 2000-2016 EDHS data.

Background: The under-five mortality rate serves as a key indicator of the performance of a country's healthcare system. Despite a minor decline, Ethiopia continues to face a persistently high under-five mortality rate across different zones. Thus, this study aimed to identify the risk factors of under-five mortality and the spatiotemporal variation in Ethiopian administrative zones.

Spatial patterns and predictors of unintended pregnancy among reproductive age women in Ethiopia.

Introduction: Unintended pregnancy is amajor sexual and reproductive health problem that imposes substantial health, economical and psychosocial costs to individuals and society as well as significant emotional distress to women, families, and society. The main aim of this study was to investigate the spatial distribution and predictors of unintended pregnancy in Ethiopian regions and administrative zones.

Methods: This study was conducted based on data from 2016 Ethiopian Demographic and Health Survey.

Evaluation of the interventions on HIV case management and its association with cART adherence and disclosure of the disease status among HIV-positive adults under treatment.

The rate of prevalence of HIV among adults has been increasing in sub-Saharan African countries over the last decade. The objective of this study was to evaluate the interventions on HIV case management based on cART adherence and disclosure of HIV disease status among HIV-positive adults under treatment. A retrospective cohort longitudinal data was conducted on 792 randomly selected patients in the study area.

Prevalence and associated factors of neonatal mortality in Ethiopia.

Neonatal mortality is the death of a live-born baby within the first 28 days of birth. For the selected households, neonatal mortality was collected from children aged 0-28 days and women aged 15-49. The neonatal period is a significant 4-week period in human life because it carries a greater mortality risk.

Spatial pattern and predictors of malaria in Ethiopia: Application of auto logistics regression.

Introduction: Malaria is a severe health threat in the World, mainly in Africa. It is the major cause of health problems in which the risk of morbidity and mortality associated with malaria cases are characterized by spatial variations across the county. This study aimed to investigate the spatial patterns and predictors of malaria distribution in Ethiopia.

Joint binary response modelling for childhood comorbidity in Ethiopia.

Childhood diarrhea and Acute Respiratory Infection (ARI) are two diseases with similar risk factors in tropical developing regions. The objective of this study was to employ a joint binary response model and identify risk factors for childhood diarrhea and ARI in children under the age of five. A joint binary response model that takes into account the interdependence of the two diseases was used.

Prevalence and associated factors of HIV-TB co-infection among HIV patients: a retrospective Study.

Background: TB/HIV co-infection is a major public health problem in many parts of the world. But the prevalence of co-infection was varies among countries.This study was designed to assess prevalence of TB/HIV co-infection and to determine its factors.

Prevalence and risk factors of type-2 diabetes mellitus in Ethiopia: systematic review and meta-analysis.

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a public health problem in developing as well as developed nations. DM leads to many complications that are associated with higher morbidity and mortality worldwide. Therefore, the current study was planned to assess the prevalence and risk factors of type-2 DM in Ethiopian population.
