Incidence and prevalence of traumatic and non-traumatic wounds and burns and access to wound care in Sierra Leone; data from a nationwide household survey (PRESSCO) 2020.
Heliyon
January 2025
Masanga Medical Research Unit, Masanga, Sierra Leone.
Objectives: This wound section of the PREvalence Study on Surgical COnditions (PRESSCO) determines the incidence and prevalence of wounds and burns in Sierra Leone. It further describes access to wound care and wound-related healthcare-seeking behaviour.
Methods: Between October 2019 and March 2020, a nationwide cross-sectional household survey was performed.

Impact of short-term aircraft noise on cardiovascular disease risk in the area surrounding London Heathrow airport: the RISTANCO epidemiological study.
Public Health Res (Southampt)
December 2024
Centre for Environmental Health and Sustainability, University of Leicester, Leicester, UK.
Background: Long-term exposure to aircraft noise has been associated with small increases in cardiovascular disease risk, but there are almost no short-term exposure studies.
Objectives: Research questions were: Is there an association between short-term changes in exposure to aircraft noise and cardiovascular morbidity and mortality? What are the key effect modifiers? Is there variability in risk estimates between areas with consistent versus changing patterns of noise exposure? Do risk estimates differ when using different noise metrics?
Design: Descriptive analyses of noise levels and variability at different times of day, analyses of inequalities in noise exposure and case-crossover analyses of cardiovascular events in relation to aircraft noise exposure.
Setting: Area surrounding London Heathrow airport.
Global Health Inequities in Orthopaedic Care: Perspectives Beyond the US.
Curr Rev Musculoskelet Med
November 2024
Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Northwestern Memorial Hospital Arkes Family Pavilion, Investigation Performed at McGaw Medical Center of Northwestern University, 676 N Saint Clair, Ste 1350, Chicago, IL, 60611, USA.
Purpose Of Review: The burden of musculoskeletal disease is increasing globally and disproportionately affecting people in low and middle income countries (LMIC). We sought to review global access to orthopaedic care, burden of trauma, research infrastructure, impact of surgical mission trips, implant availability, and the effect of COVID-19 upon the delivery of orthopaedic care worldwide.
Recent Findings: The majority of people in LMIC do not have access to safe, quality surgical care, and there are few fellowship-trained orthopaedic traumatologists.
Rural and Ethnic Disparities in Out-of-hospital Care and Transport Pathways After Road Traffic Trauma in New Zealand.
West J Emerg Med
July 2024
University of Auckland, School of Population Health, Section of Epidemiology and Biostatistics, Auckland, New Zealand.
Introduction: The out-of-hospital emergency medical service (EMS) care responses and the transport pathways to hospital play a vital role in patient survival following injury and are the first component of a well-functioning, optimised system of trauma care. Despite longstanding challenges in delivering equitable healthcare services in the health system of Aotearoa-New Zealand (NZ), little is known about inequities in EMS-delivered care and transport pathways to hospital-level care.
Methods: This population-level cohort study on out-of-hospital care, based on national EMS data, included trauma patients <85 years in age who were injured in a road traffic crash (RTC).
