Background: In Ethiopia, premenstrual syndrome (PMS) was predominantly studied among university students who were in their early 20s; as a result, little is known about the prevalence of premenstrual syndrome among adolescent girls. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the prevalence of premenstrual syndrome and identify factors associated with premenstrual syndrome among secondary school female students in the Dessie city administration, 2023.
Methods: An institutional-based cross-sectional study was conducted involving a sample of 630 participants.
Article Synopsis
- Achieving viral load suppression is essential for preventing complications and deaths from HIV, and Ethiopia is working towards the global 95-95-95 target but lacks representative data on virological suppression rates.
- A systematic review of 21 studies revealed an overall virological suppression rate of 71%, identifying factors such as poor adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART), body mass index, patient disclosure, absence of opportunistic infections, and baseline viral load as significant predictors of suppression.
- The findings suggest a need for improved strategies to increase virological suppression in Ethiopia, as the current rate falls short of global and national goals.
