Integrating Gestational Diabetes Screening and Care and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Prevention After GDM Into Community Based Primary Health Care in South Africa-Mixed Method Study.

Background: Despite high gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) prevalence in South Africa (9.1% in 2018), its screening and management are not well integrated into routine primary health care and poorly linked to post-GDM prevention of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in South Africa's fragmented health system. This study explored women's, health care providers' and experts' experiences and perspectives on current and potential integration of GDM screening and prevention of T2DM post-GDM within routine, community-based primary health care (PHC) services in South Africa.

Factors Associated with Post-Transplant Active Epstein-Barr Virus Infection and Lymphoproliferative Disease in Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant Recipients: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

This systematic review was undertaken to identify risk factors associated with post-transplant Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) active infection and post-transplant lymphoproliferative disease (PTLD) in pediatric and adult recipients of hematopoietic stem cell transplants (HSCT). A literature search was conducted in PubMed and EMBASE to identify studies published until 30 June 2020. Descriptive information was extracted for each individual study, and data were compiled for individual risk factors, including, when possible, relative risks with 95% confidence intervals and/or -values.

Integrating gestational diabetes and type 2 diabetes care into primary health care: Lessons from prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV in South Africa - A mixed methods study.

Background: Implementation of the programmes for the Prevention of Mother to Child Transmission (PMTCT) of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) into antenatal care over the last three decades could inform implementation of interventions for other health challenges such as gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). This study assessed PMTCT outcomes, and how GDM screening, care, and type 2 diabetes (T2DM) prevention were integrated into PMTCT in Western Cape (WC), South Africa.

Methods: A convergent mixed methods and triangulation design were used.

Does performance-based financing curb stock-outs of essential medicines? Results from a randomised controlled trial in Cameroon.

Objective: In 2011, the government of Cameroon launched its performance-based financing (PBF) scheme. Our study examined the effects of the PBF intervention on the availability of essential medicines (EM).

Methods: Randomised control trial whereby PBF and three distinct comparison groups were randomised in a total of 205 health facilities across three regions.
