- This paper introduces a method for managing populations by analyzing healthcare consumption data from individuals aged 60-79, focusing on their healthcare trajectories in 2017.
- The study identifies key aspects such as health event nature, transitions in care, duration of events, and event hierarchy through a K-mers and multinomial mixture modeling approach.
- Five distinct population groups were found, which can help local governing bodies to better understand community health needs and improve decision-making by using routinely collected data effectively.
The rapid deployment of COVID-19 vaccines to a large proportion of the population requires a focus on safety. However, few studies have assessed the safety of COVID-19 vaccines in Africa. In Burkina Faso, this issue has not yet been addressed.

Background: The impact of lower thresholds for elevated blood pressure (BP) on adverse perinatal outcomes has been poorly explored in sub-Saharan African populations. We aimed to explore the association between lower BP cutoffs (according to the 2017 American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association [ACC/AHA] criteria) and adverse perinatal outcomes in Kaya, Burkina Faso.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study included 2,232 women with singleton pregnancies between February and September 2021.
