We reviewed the medical records including sociodemographic and obstetric characteristics of preeclampsia patients.

However, being nulliparous [aOR = 0.321, 95% CI (0.116–0.887), p = 0.0028] was independently associated with a reduced odd for postpartum readmission.The rates of postpartum readmission are significantly high among preeclampsia women.

The North Central Province of Sri Lanka has been afflicted by this disease for decades, confronting multiple challenges. Hemodialysis is the primary form of renal replacement therapy available to end‐stage renal disease patients in Sri Lanka. Providing hemodialysis sessions free of cost in the government health sector comes with major costs on the healthcare system. As a country with a low‐to‐middle income status undergoing through reeling economic crisis, providing free healthcare in government hospitals and increasing the capacity and quality of treatment facilities for the growing number of patients with chronic kidney disease will remain a major challenge for the coming decade. The high cost for a single dialysis session, lack of resources and workforce to meet demand, occupational barriers of patients, and the economic burdens including out‐of‐pocket expenditures significant barriers in achieving quality treatment sessions and the quality of life of patients. In addition, the absence of a consistent screening program has contributed to the progression of the disease ending up requiring renal replacement therapy. This article suggests potential strategies that can be implemented to mitigate the aforementioned problems and enhance the overall health, quality of life, and survival of patients with chronic kidney disease and those who receive hemodialysis.","PeriodicalId":74613,"journal":{"name":"Public health challenges","volume":"65 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139602091","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We used the two waves of the Bangladesh Demographic and Health Surveys conducted in 2011 and 2017–2018. Modified Poisson regression model was used to estimate the prevalence rate and ratio of NCDs and to test the association with different demographic and socioeconomic variables. The study found an upward trend of NCDs from 2011 to 2017 in which overweight and obesity, hypertension, and diabetes increased by 1.8, 1.5, and 1.1 times, respectively. In 2011, people from the richest households had 5.6 higher odds of being overweight compared to the poorest, which was reduced to 3.0 in 2017. However, the increment for overweight and hypertension was the highest among the poor and manual workers from 2011 to 2017. The age‐adjusted prevalence ratio of overweight increased 4.4 times for the poorest, compared to 1.7 times for the richest. For manual workers, overweight increased 3.8 times, whereas hypertension increased by 2.4 times. The pooled analysis revealed that participants from the richest households have the highest risk of NCDs, with 3.3 times for overweight, 2.3 times for diabetes, and 1.3 times for hypertension, compared to the poorest. However, the prevalence of NCDs is rising quickly among the low socioeconomic groups in Bangladesh, narrowing the gap with higher socioeconomic groups. Our findings call for immediate policy interventions and targeted programs to curb NCD escalation in Bangladesh.","PeriodicalId":74613,"journal":{"name":"Public health challenges","volume":" 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139622056","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Workers who are satisfied with their jobs tend to get more work done and give better care. When workers are not happy at work, they are also not productive as well and many of them leave their jobs. This study aimed to address the level of job satisfaction and associated factors among healthcare setting staff in Ethiopia from 2012 to 2022.PubMed, Scopus, Cochrane, Google Scholar and African Index Medicus databases have been searched based on preferred reporting items for systematic review and meta‐analysis. Pooled estimate of job satisfaction level was done using the random effects model after significant heterogeneities have been checked by subgroup analysis. Publication bias was checked using funnel plot.Pooled satisfaction level of healthcare workers in Ethiopia was 50.31%. Factors associated were autonomy (pooled odds ratio (POR) = 5.79, 95% CI: 1.99–16.90), training (POR = 3.09, 95% CI: 1.69–5.67), organizational policy (POR = 4.71, 95% CI: 2.09–10.61), reward (POR = 4.58,95% CI: 1.51–13.84), payment (POR = 3.89, 95% CI: 1.77–8.54), supervision (POR = 5.34, 95% CI: 3.72–7.67) and work environment (POR = 5.44, 95% CI: 2.80–10.58).About half of healthcare staff in Ethiopia's healthcare settings were satisfied with their job.
