Low mortality rates in children due to COVID-19 across analyzed countries, with evidence suggesting that vaccination can help in controlling the spread of the virus.
The findings indicate that TF-CBT, EMDR, MDTs, and non-TF interventions are all effective in reducing PTSD symptoms in children and adolescents compared to passive control conditions. TF-CBT consistently showed the highest treatment effects, particularly for multiple-event-related PTSD, and demonstrated significant short-term effects compared to active control conditions in high-quality trials.
By 2014/15, coverage of three doses of PCV-10 reached 76%, with nearly 100% community acceptability. There was also a doubling in the coverage of oral rehydration solutions for diarrhea treatment, indicating improved care-seeking behavior and health service accessibility.
Identifying low electrolyte levels, dehydration, diarrhea, and urinary tract infections as significant risk factors for developing refeeding syndrome may lead to improved monitoring and outcomes in children with severe acute malnutrition.
VAS has been shown to significantly reduce morbidity and mortality in preschool-age children, particularly in regions with high prevalence of VAD.
The intervention improved child cognitive development and may have positively impacted language and motor skills, as well as increased clinic visit attendance for health monitoring.
The interventions showed favorable results in reducing depression symptoms among children and adolescents, although the overall effectiveness requires further validation.
Interventions that influenced placental phenotype were associated with improved maternal outcomes (69%) and better offspring birth outcomes (54%).
Significant improvement in knowledge scores among trained CHWs, high satisfaction reported by CHWs and the community, and positive reception of the application by mothers.
The majority of nosocomial RSV-related deaths can be prevented through effective immunization strategies, especially since more than half of the affected children were younger than 6 months of age.
Higher FA supplementation (≥600 mcg/day) was associated with attenuated associations between MDC exposures and liver injury outcomes in both mothers and children.
The study found that while Healthy Start participants did not significantly differ in fruit and vegetable purchases compared to eligible non-participants, the vouchers were valued by recipients and helped reduce food insecurity. However, the overall impact on food expenditure was not significant.
Expected positive outcomes include improved sleep duration and quality, enhanced employee mood, reduced absenteeism and presenteeism, and overall better workplace productivity and health.
Improved oral hygiene knowledge, attitudes, practices, and status among children participating in the folk song intervention compared to the control group receiving standard oral health education.
73.3% of identified measles zero-dose children were vaccinated during the campaign, and targeted mop-up activities reached an additional 25.6% of zero-dose children.
The 2wT intervention resulted in an 80% retention rate at 12 months post-ART initiation, compared to 67% in the standard of care group. The intervention also demonstrated cost-effectiveness, with an incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) suggesting significant cost savings if scaled up to more clients.
The use of therapeutic play has been shown to improve emotional well-being, reduce anxiety, and enhance communication between children and healthcare providers. It promotes holistic and humanized care, optimizing the overall well-being of children in healthcare settings.
Significant increases in antenatal care attendance (OR=1.89), tetanus toxoid immunization (OR=1.63), compliance to iron supplementation (OR=1.88), and postnatal care attendance (OR=2.54) were observed among mothers receiving mHealth interventions compared to the control group.
Children evaluated for maltreatment showed a higher rate of subsequent emergency department visits and hospitalizations, particularly for maltreatment-related issues, indicating a need for ongoing care and monitoring.
No evidence was found that the pandemic affected overall treatment effectiveness; however, fewer children treated during the pandemic recovered from externalizing problems compared to those treated before the pandemic.
The implementation of NRHM was associated with a significant decline in acute undernutrition (wasting) in high-focus states, while chronic undernutrition (stunting) showed varied trends, with some normal-focus states experiencing a more rapid decline.
PRTFs aim to stabilize children with severe behavioral health issues, but the study indicates a need for better community-based services to prevent unnecessary placements.
The study found that PCPs prescribed medications more frequently for patients with both anxiety and depression compared to those with either condition alone. Medication choices generally aligned with current treatment recommendations, suggesting effective management of these disorders.
The study aims to estimate the impact of the NCHA program on reducing under-five mortality rates in rural Liberia, potentially demonstrating significant improvements in child health outcomes due to increased access to healthcare services.
The study found that maternal depression was significantly associated with a higher odds of moderate/severe chronic undernutrition in children aged 6-59 months (OR = 2.67; 95% CI 1.16-6.16).
Increased attendance rates for ophthalmic assessments among school children identified with visual impairments compared to standard reminder messages.
Significant reduction in U5M by 56%, with FB-IMCI implemented in 98% of sub-districts and ITN utilization reaching 90% among children under 5 in malaria-endemic regions.
Enrollment in the ISVMP significantly reduced the association between social vulnerability and growth failure. Infants enrolled in the program gained more weight compared to historical controls, with middle and high social vulnerability infants gaining 4 gm/day and 2 gm/day more, respectively, than pre-ISVMP controls.
Promising improvements in specific health objectives, such as lower smoking rates and reduced repeat pregnancies, as well as enhanced wellbeing in children and young people.
