Engraft: A Collaborative Learning Health Network for Enhanced Transplant and Cellular Therapy Outcomes.

The Engraft Learning Health Network (LHN) aims to improve outcomes for patients undergoing transplant and cellular therapy (TCT) through a collaborative, data-driven approach. Engraft brings together diverse stakeholders, including clinicians, patients, caregivers, and institutions, to standardize best practices and accelerate the dissemination of innovations in TCT care. By establishing a multicenter, real-world clinical registry focused on rapid-cycle quality improvement (QI) and implementation research, Engraft seeks to reduce variability in clinical practice to improve TCT outcomes across centers.

Urinary symptoms and infections among female garment factory workers in Bangladesh.

Background: The prevalence of urinary symptoms and infections among female garment factory workers in Bangladesh - a large developing country - is largely unknown. Garment sector is this country's main economic growth engine.

Objectives: This paper focuses on garment industry workers and compares the findings with another group of low socioeconomic status working women.

Traumatic life events and development of post-traumatic stress disorder among female factory workers in a developing country.

Background: Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) may be more prevalent and burdensome in developing countries.

Aims: The goals of this study were to (1) determine the prevalence of PTSD, (2) identify types and number of traumas related to screening positive for PTSD and (3) determine other sociodemographic risk factors and health/medical conditions that may be correlated to PTSD among garment-factory workers and a comparable working population in Bangladesh.

Method: A survey was administered to a convenient sample of 607 lower socio-economic status (SES) working women in Bangladesh, 310 of who were garment workers.

Prevalence and risk factors of depression among garment workers in Bangladesh.

Background: Depression is a growing health issue in both developed and developing countries. General unawareness at the population level, lack of training among health care providers and scarcity of resources including treatment opportunities may conceal the real burden of depression in developing countries, and more epidemiological studies on its prevalence and risk factors are critically needed.

Aim: This study reports the prevalence of depression and its associated risk factors among female garment factory workers in Bangladesh - a major supplier country of clothes for the Western market.
