Maternal morbidity and mortality remains a significant health care concern in the United States, as the rates continue to rise despite efforts to improve maternal health. In 2013, the United States ranked 60th in maternal mortality worldwide. We review the definitions, rates, trends, and top causes of severe maternal morbidity and mortality, as well as risk factors for adverse maternal outcomes. We describe current local and national initiatives in place to reduce maternal morbidity and mortality and offer suggestions for future research. 相似文献

BackgroundWe aimed to estimate the prevalence and epidemiologic characteristics of meningococcal meningitis (MM) in mainland China (excluding Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau) and to provide reference data for controlling the outbreak and prevalence of MM.MethodsData from the National Notifiable Diseases Registry System and the MM case information reporting system from 2005 to 2010 as well as data from the MM Surveillance System were used.ResultsThe morbidity of MM for the whole country was, on average, 0.09 cases per 100,000 (range 0.02 [2010]–0.18 [2005] cases per 100,000) from 2005 to 2010, the incidence rate was highest in the Xinjiang autonomous region (average 0.56 cases per 100,000), and the majority of cases came from Anhui province (average 0.32 cases per 100,000). Morbidity was highest in children under 1 year old (average 0.60 cases per 100,000). The proportion of laboratory-confirmed cases of serogroups A, B, and C were 37.2, 11.5 and 42.7, respectively, from 2005 to 2010.ConclusionsThe incidence level declined year-to-year in mainland China. Children and students are the most at risk groups. The proportion of serogroup C cases has increased year-to-year, and new cases of serogroup W135 have been found. Controlling the epidemic of serogroup C and preventing outbreaks of serogroup B and W135 represent major future challenges. 相似文献

BackgroundAge-appropriate receipt of ≥2 measles-containing vaccine (MCV) doses has been considered evidence of immunity against measles. Transmission of measles is rarely reported among such persons.MethodsWe report a measles outbreak in a middle school in Beijing that has high coverage with≥2 documented MCV doses. History of previous measles and documentation of MCV receipt were collected for all individuals. Cases were identified by active surveillance and confirmed by laboratory tests. Measles immunoglobulin G (IgG) titers and clinical presentations were obtained for each case.ResultsOf 1331 individuals without a prior history of measles, 1172 (88.1% [95%CI:86.4–91.5%]) and 1078 (81.0% [95%CI:78.9–83.1%]) had age-appropriate receipt of ≥2 MCV doses by domestic and U.S. CDC/ACIP criteria, respectively. Thirteen measles cases occurred in the outbreak. The index case and 3 secondary cases were students. The 9 tertiary cases included 2 teachers and 7 students. All 11 student cases received ≥2 age-appropriate MCV doses by Chinese domestic criteria; 8 were age-appropriately vaccinated by U.S. CDC/ACIP criteria. Measles IgG was detected during the acute phase of measles for all but 2 cases -the first case and 1 tertiary case. Among students with age-appropriate receipt of ≥2 MCV doses, the length of time since the last MCV was significantly associated with risk of measles: for the 1172 students, the risk was 4.6 [OR5.6;95%CI:1.4–22.9] and 5.5 [OR6.5;95%CI:1.4–29.8] times higher when the last MCV dose was 5–9 years and ≥10 years prior, respectively, compared with <5 years prior; for the 1078 students, the risk was 4.1 [OR5.1;95%CI:1.3–20.7] times higher when the last MCV dose was 5–9 years prior compared with <5 years prior.ConclusionsThis is the first report from China showing measles transmission among persons with prior evidence of immunity. Secondary vaccine failure may have played an important role in measles transmission. Further laboratory surveillance is needed to assess the persistence of vaccine-induced immunity of domestically-produced MCV in China. 相似文献

BackgroundAn outbreak of measles occurred in early 2014 among individuals not targeted for vaccination—adults, and infants too young to vaccinate, in Xiangshan County, Zhejiang Province, in eastern China.ObjectiveWe conducted an investigation to identify risk factors responsible for this outbreak and to provide evidence-based recommendations for measles elimination strategies in China.MethodsMeasles was diagnosed using national standard case definitions. In a case-control study, 20 randomly selected measles patients were matched with controls selected from the same village or community as each case in a 1:2 case-to-control ratio. Controls were matched on age, within 5 years, and gender. We compared exposure histories during the 7–21 days before rash onset of the case and the same time period for the matched controls. We also conducted a measles antibody seroprevalence survey of a convenient sample of residual serum obtained from healthy patients during routine care in a hospital.ResultsThe outbreak consisted of 45 measles cases, with an attack rate of 8.9/100,000 total population. Among cases, 91.1% (41/45) were adults (ranged 23–51 years) who had unknown vaccination histories; the other cases were infants younger than 8 months of age. The case-control study showed major risk factors to be a visit to Hospital X (ORMH = 7.3, 95% CI: 1.8–30.7) and treatment in an IV room in Hospital X (ORMH = 11.0, 95% CI: 1.3–96.1). The seroprevalence survey showed that 88.8% of adults had measles IgG antibodies, and that 100% of children 2–19 years of age were seropositive.ConclusionsThe outbreak was primarily among age groups not targeted for vaccination—primarily adults, but with some children too young to vaccinate. Visiting a hospital was the major risk factor for measles transmission. We conclude that in addition to maintaining high 2-dose coverage with measles vaccine, working with hospital infection control programs to implement evidence-based strategies to prevent or limit hospital transmission is an important action for eliminating measles in eastern China. 相似文献

In Sierra Leone, traditional treatment is at times used in lieu of seeking allopathic healthcare for major illnesses causing child death. This paper describes the nature of traditional treatment for diarrhea and fever (presumed malaria). Weighted analysis and multi-logistic regression was applied to a household cluster survey (n = 5951) conducted in 4 districts in June 2010. Using structured questionnaires, heads of households, and caregivers of children under five years of age were interviewed about child morbidity and care seeking. A thematic analysis of qualitative data based on focus group discussions and in-depth interviews with family members from twelve villages in these same four districts, was also done. Illness-specific herbal remedies were described by respondents. Among 1511 children with diarrhea, 31% used traditional treatment. Among 3851 children with fever, 22% used traditional treatment. Traditional treatment for diarrhea was associated with being from a tribe other than the Mende, using government recommended salt sugar solution, not having a vaccine card, having more than two illnesses, and not seeking any allopathic medical treatment for diarrhea. For fever, traditional treatment was associated with being a tribe other than the Mende, having more than two illnesses, not having a vaccine card, Muslim religion, and not seeking any allopathic medical treatment for fever. Qualitatively, respondents describe herbalists as trusted with remedies that are seen to be appropriate due to the perceived cause of illness and due to barriers to seeking care from government providers.The social determinants of traditional treatment use and the prominent role of herbalists in providing them need to be addressed to improve child survival in Sierra Leone. 相似文献

Maternal mortality is a major global concern. Although a notable decline in maternal mortality in the United States occurred during the mid-20th century, this progress stalled during the late 20th century. Furthermore, maternal mortality rates have increased during the early 21st century. Around the year 2000 the maternal mortality rate began to rise and has since nearly doubled. Given that at least half of maternal deaths in the U.S. are preventable, the rise in maternal deaths in the U.S. is historic and worrisome. This overview will try to provide a context for understanding the problem of this rise in maternal mortality in the U.S. by briefly discussing how maternal mortality rates are reported from National Vital Statistics data and from a National Surveillance system. Trends and causes of maternal deaths and the difficulty with interpreting these trends will be discussed. 相似文献
