A competing risk analysis of predictors of time to lost to follow-up among adults with TB/HIV coinfection in Bahir Dar.

Lost to follow-up (LTFU), defined as interrupting anti-TB treatment for ≥ 8 consecutive weeks or missing anti-retroviral therapy (ART) appointments for > 90 days, is a barrier to TB/HIV coinfection management. Poor treatment adherence, a driver of multidrug resistance in TB/HIV, poses critical challenges to case management. Overestimating effect sizes when considering mutually exclusive events, like LTFU from ART and anti-TB treatment, can occur if sources of error are not properly accounted for in competing events.

Burden of maternal high-risk fertility behaviour on under-five children's health status in Hadiya zone, Southern Ethiopia: a facility-based cross-sectional study.

Background: Maternal high-risk fertility behaviours (HRFBs) are common in African countries and can potentially affect child survival. Evidence of the burden of maternal HRFB on under-five children is scant in Ethiopia.

Objective: To determine the burden of maternal HRFB on under-five children's health status in Hadiya zone, Southern Ethiopia.
