Results showed a neonatal death rate of 39/4015 (early neonatal death rate) or 9.7/1000 live births and a late fetal death rate of 42/4057 or 10.3/1000 total births with a perinatal mortality rate of 81/4057 or 19.99/1000 total births. Morbidity rate was 250/4015 or 62.3/1000 live ...
There was no difference in the proportion of new cases between the urban and rural sites, but a higher rate of bacteriologically confirmed cases in the urban sites (Table 1). Table 1 Number of patients per site and characteristics of enrolled TB DOTS patients. Full size table Prevalence of ...
Although the total number of cases and deaths from tetanus have been steadily decreasing over the past decade, its high morbidity and mortality rate demands greater efforts to address this vaccine-preventable disease. As immunization remains to be the cornerstone of tetanus prevention, the need to ...
However, the rate remains high in many developing countries[1], and pneumonia is still the leading cause of childhood mortality [2, 3],particularly in the developing countries. It is estimated that approximately 2 million children die from pneumonia annually, and 90% of these deaths occur in ...
In 2009, pneumonia was the fourth leading cause of mortality in the Phillipines, occurring in about 46 for every 100,000 Filipinos [1]. Moreover, together with acute lower respiratory tract infections, it was the second highest cause of morbidity, with a rate of about 613 per 100,000 Filip...
We also chose the Philippines because of the immense opportunity breastfeeding presents for sustainable development. The country’s exclusive breastfeeding rate (< 6 months) sits at just 34%. Scaling-up breastfeeding to near universal levels would prevent the deaths of an estimated 9000 Filipin...
These translate to a treatment success rate of 96%. The utility of PPMD, however, must be viewed in the light of programmatic challenges on the long-term sustainability and scale-up of the intervention. Conclusion: Engaging private healthcare providers in the city to practice DOTS as the ...
Disturbingly, the rate of decrease in the mortality and morbidity is not fast enough. This makes the country`s MDG goal targets on TB eradication shaky. The Philippines is also in the list of 27 countries with the highest burden of TB. To further augment case detection rate and early ...
The key outcomes of interest monitored in this study included mortality, morbidity and productivity. Results of the study showed a 93.7 percent probability of the calves surviving up to six months with a calculated mortality true rate of 0.7 deaths per 1000 calf-days at risk. Three calves died...
