“…The downward trend of vitamin A supplementation (73% in 1999–38% in 2004) among children aged 9–11 months indicated the deficiency of vitamin A in their early stage of life, might be a reason for increased ARI prevalence during 1996–2004 23 . In Bangladesh, the child mortality rate was much higher at the decade of independence in 1971 24 . The cause behind this was various infectious diseases 25,26 .…”

Aim: This study aims to systematically identify and review the most significant risk factors and the trends that follow acute respiratory infection (ARI) among children under five in Bangladesh. Methods:A total of 6863 under-five children were eligible for our analysis, retrieved from Bangladesh Demographic and Health Survey (BDHS), 2014. ARI cases were defined if a child experienced coughing with short and rapid breathing at the chest that occurred during 2 weeks prior to the study. Logistic regression and systematic review methods were appraised to explore the various risk factors involving ARI in Bangladesh. Furthermore, a trend analysis was performed to overlook the historical trend of ARI prevalence and affiliated determinants from 1996/97 to 2017/18 in Bangladesh.Results: Over the past two decades, Bangladesh experienced a significant drop in ARI prevalence from 12.8% in 1996 to only 3.0% in 2018. The cross-sectional findings revealed that boys (OR = 1.35, 95% CI: 1.03-1.78), stunted children (OR = 1.35, 95% CI:1.03-1.78) and mothers with primary or no education (OR = 2.53, 95% CI: 1.43-4.90) and secondary education (OR = 1.77, 95% CI: 1.00-3.44) have the higher odds of ARI than their counterparts. Conclusion:Acute respiratory infection prevalence significantly declined in Bangladesh, while boys, stunted children and uneducated or primary educated mothers were identified as potential risk factors.

“…The relationship between education, including female education, and population health outcomes has also been investigated, and the results indicated that female education has a beneficial influence on the health of the population, as measured by maternal health, neonatal mortality, under-five, and infant mortality [ 5 , 45 , 94 , 103 ]. However, to the best of our knowledge, the current study is the first conducted in SSA to examine the transmission mechanisms of PHS by using growth factor variables and LGCMM.…”

In response to the imperatives of universal health coverage, structural factors that may hinder the effectiveness of increased spending in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) need attention. This study assessed the mediating role of these factors in domestic general government health expenditure (DGGHE) effects to propose solutions for improving population health outcomes (PHO). The analysis used the Latent Growth Curve Mediation Model (LGCMM) approach within the structural equation model (SEM) framework for panel data from 42 SSA countries from 2015 to 2018. The findings were that malaria and female education formed a channel through which DGGHE imparted its effects on DALY in SSA, and these effects were achieved via the specific path from the DGGHE slope to the DALY slope, via malaria and female education slopes. However, the paper found no evidence of immunization coverage mediating the relationship between DGGHE and DALY in SSA. The paper concludes that structural factors affect the effectiveness of DGGHE on PHO, implying that governments should emphasize existing programs to fight against malaria and increase immunization coverage.

“…The covariates used for this study are residence, nature of the child, sex of the child, mother follow-up, place of antenatal care, place of child delivery, breastfeeding from the breast only, a child infected with malaria, the child suffered from malnutrition, the child suffered from septicemia, a child suffered from cough and child suffered from pneumonia. The variables classi cations used in the current study were suggested by many previous studies [15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24]…”

Background The evaluation of the factors influencing infant mortality entails examining the various factors that contribute to the high rate of infant deaths in Susan. These factors encompass access to healthcare services, nutritional status, sanitation, maternal health, vaccination, and socio-economic circumstances. This study aims to assess the factors affecting infant mortality in the Gezira state in Sudan. Methods The study adopted the questionnaire as a tool for data collection. The sample size reached 322 participants from Sudan, mainly the localities in Gezira state. The study applied the Generalized Additive Model. Results The study results revealed that the effects of socio-economic, demographic, and health factors have been identified using the Generalized Additive Model with non-parametric age at first marriage, current age of the mother, and child age. In addition to these effects, other parametric effects included in the model were residence, nature of the child, sex of the child, mother follow-up, place of antenatal care, place of child delivery, breastfeeding from the breast only, child infected with malaria, child suffered from malnutrition, child suffered from septicemia, child suffered from cough and child suffered from pneumonia. In addition to the main effects, nine two-way interaction effects were included in the model. Also, infant mortality is high for poor economic backgrounds. Moreover, giving birth at an early age showed an increased risk of infant mortality. In addition, for older mothers, the chance of a child dying before reaching age one is lower.
