Health Outcomes. Bulgaria has achieved significant improvements in health outcomes over time but is still falling behind most EU countries on key health indicators. Infant mortality decreased from 24.5 in 1980 to 10.5 per 1,000 live births in 2012 (Figure 5). Infant mortality in Bulgaria is slightly lower relative to other comparable income and health spending countries. Despite the significant reduction, however, Bulgaria’s infant mortality rate is still more than three times higher than the EU-15 average of 3.2 infant deaths per 1000 live births and almost twice as high as the EU-12 average of 5.5 infant deaths per 1000 live births. More significant improvements were achieved in reducing maternal mortality, which fell from 24 deaths per 100,000 live births in 1990 to 8 deaths per 100,000 live births in 2010. The maternal mortality ratio in Bulgaria is low compared to the global averages relative to income and health spending. Bulgaria has surpassed the EU-12 average of 11.3 deaths per 100,000 live births and is approaching the EU-15 average of 7.6 deaths per 100,000 live births (Figure 6).
Health Outcomes. We hypothesized that the proportion of functional latrines surrounding a household would predict household prevalence of STH infections and diarrhea among members in the household. These health outcomes were chosen for analysis based on the burden of disease in India and their association to sanitation (see above). The Orissa trial assessed the prevalence of STH infections of all eligible intervention households at follow-up. Stool samples were collected from August-October 2013, about 2.5 years after the start of the intervention, and 1.5 years after intervention villages reached the initial target for latrine coverage (Xxxxxx et al., 2012). Because STH infections were rare among the study population, we aggregated infections across helminth species (hookworm, Ascaris lumbricoides, and Trichuris trichuria) for all individuals in a household for this analysis. We analyzed STH infection prevalence as a binary outcome variable: households were classified as either having at least one individual with any STH infection (1) or not (0). Diarrhea was measured by 7-day self- or caregiver-report (Xxxxxx et al., 2014). During the initial trial, surveillance visits were conducted up to nine times per household, though not every household member was available for data collection at each visit (Xxxxxx et al., 2012). In order to estimate the overall disease burden from diarrhea for each household, we assessed diarrhea based on average household longitudinal prevalence (total diarrhea days / total observation days). Diarrhea days were calculated by multiplying the number of total number of diarrhea-positive visits across household members by seven (for 7-day recall period). Total observation days were calculated by totaling the number of visits for each household member and multiplying by seven. Average household longitudinal prevalence was transformed by multiplying by 1,000 to reflect the number of diarrhea days per 1,000 person days. The same methods were used to create household longitudinal diarrhea prevalence among children under five. Statistical analysis Statistical analyses were conducted in SAS 9.4. We explored the distribution of all latrine density predictor variables for households surveyed for each outcome variable of interest. Descriptive analyses were conducted to assess the distribution of outcome variables. All analyses were stratified by distance. The effect of latrine density predictors on household-level STH infection prevalence was determined via lo...
Health Outcomes. There are around 2.9m people with diabetes mellitus in England. Diabetic retinopathy is a complication of diabetes and is one of the leading causes of blindness in the working population in the developed world. Diabetic retinopathy, if left untreated, can lead to sight loss which can have a devastating effect on individuals and their families. By promptly identifying and treating the disease, these effects can be reduced or avoided completely. As diabetic eye screening is just one component of diabetes care, the screening programme should be integrated with routine diabetes care. The NDESP contributes to the Public Health Outcomes Framework (DH, 2012) which aims: “to improve and protect the nation’s health and wellbeing and to improve the health of the poorest, fastest.” Specifically diabetic eye screening contributes to: domain 4: “Healthcare Public Health and Preventing Premature Mortality” reduced numbers of people living with preventable ill health and people dying prematurely, while reducing the gap between communities preventable sight loss 1.5 Principles all individuals will be treated with courtesy, respect and an understanding of their needs all those participating in the NDESP will have adequate information on the benefits and risks to allow an informed decision to be made before participating access to screening is matched to the needs of the target population in terms of availability, accessibility and location screening will be effectively integrated across a pathway including between the different providers, screening centres, primary care and secondary care
Health Outcomes. Edinburgh Xxxxxx University is the largest provider of nurse education in Scotland with a focus on delivering a skilled nursing workforce for the future. We are the only provider of all four nursing fields: Adult Health, Child Health, Mental Health and Learning Disability and midwifery at pre-registration level. We work alongside the Council of Deans and the NHS to ensure that outcomes are aligned to Scottish Government priorities. Edinburgh Xxxxxx co-ordinates all pre-registration nursing placements in the East of Scotland. The University has a diverse intake population of nursing students with 16% of Scottish domiciled entrants from MD20 postcodes. Approximately 40 entrants per year are admitted with Advanced Standing to Pre-registration Nursing courses. We are committed to positive outcomes for all students and this is mirrored in the pastoral care available to students and reflected in the high continuation rates for pre-registration Nursing students which are currently at 90%. As part of the University’s Gender Action Plan we are committed to improving the representation of men in Nursing and continue to run admissions events specifically aimed at the recruitment of men. The School of Health and Social Care has a diverse workforce with 20% of academic male staff. Table 5 summaries the health outcomes for Edinburgh Xxxxxx.
