Search strategies for "Scoping study of Economic and Data System Considerations for Climate Change and Pandemic Preparedness in Africa"

The search strategies looked for information on four concepts: climate change; communicable diseases with pandemic potential; data systems for pandemic preparedness; Africa. The search strategy was compiled in the OvidSP Medline ALL database and refined until the results retrieved reflected the scope of the project. 6 databases were searched on 27 November 2023. They were: OvidSP Medline ALL, OvidSP Embase Classic+Embase, OvidSP Global Health, OvidSP Econlit, EBSCOhost Africa-Wide Information, Web of Science Core Collection (containing Science Citation Index Expanded, Social Sciences Citation Index, Arts & Humanities Citation Index, Conference Proceedings Citation Index Science, Conference Proceedings Citation Index Social Science & Humanities, Emerging Sources Citation Index). All searches were limited by date to items published 2010-present

Promoting inclusion in decent work for Ugandan young people: will reducing violence help? Qualitative interview and focus group data

Qualitative data collected for the project "Promoting inclusion in decent work for Ugandan young people: will reducing violence help?". It is comprised of transcripts for 4 focus group discussions (FGDs), 24 in-depth interviews (IDIs) and 18 key informant interviews (KIIs)

dchodge/rsvmabmat

Code to produce the figures in "Protecting infants against RSV disease: an impact and cost-effectiveness comparison of long-acting monoclonal antibodies and maternal vaccination". The code heavily depends on a package which runs the simulations and cost-effectiveness for user-defined parameters, rsvie. The information in data/, data-raw/, and datasource/ relate to the England and Wales-specific information parameterising the burden, risk of outcomes, costs and QALY loss. For more details on how this works, please see the rsvie package. The figs/ folder contains all the figures in the manuscript and supplementary. The outputs/ folder contains large RDS files that contain all the information about the impact and cost-effectiveness of each model after running the simulations via the 'rsvie`; package. The R/ folder contains all the code used to run the models, process the outputs and plot the figures

SARS-CoV-2 Seroprevalence in The Gambia dataset

A quantitative dataset containing information on COVID seroprevalence in pregnant women, based upon an analysis of samples collected from 803 women between October 2019 – March 2022 in Farafenni, North Bank Region of The Gambia. This is a sub-set of women in the PRECISE Study where pregnant women were recruited to the cohort and followed up during their pregnancy

Clinical Codelist - Aurum - Psychosis

Clinical codes used to define variables using CPRD Aurum data. Codes were used in a National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) Health Protection Research Unit (HPRU) in Environmental Change funded PhD project

Data supporting "The effect of intensive praziquantel treatment on vaccine-specific responses among schoolchildren in Ugandan schistosomiasis-endemic islands: results of the POPVAC A randomised, controlled trial"

This dataset comprises individual-level data from participants in the POPVAC A randomised controlled trial. POPVAC A was an open-label randomised controlled trial of intensive versus standard intervention against Schistosoma mansoni among schoolchildren (9-17 years) in Koome islands, Uganda (ISRCTN60517191). The aim of the trial was to comprehensively address the hypothesis that Schistosoma mansoni infection causes suppression of responses to unrelated vaccines and that this effect can be reversed by intensive treatment with praziquantel. The trial population was selected to comprise children at intense risk of exposure to Schistosoma mansoni infection in a “hot-spot”, island setting in Lake Victoria, Uganda. A portfolio of vaccines, of potential benefit to the children and comprising live, inert, oral and parenteral, was provided to enable a comprehensive assessment and comparison of effects of intensive treatment of Schistosoma mansoni on immune response to vaccines with different characteristics

Codelists for: "Comparative effectiveness of alternative second-line oral antidiabetic treatments on metabolic, kidney, and cardiovascular outcomes amongst people with type 2 diabetes mellitus: a cohort study using routinely collected health data"

Codelists to define index diagnosis, comorbidities, lifestyle risk factors, co-prescriptions, and outcomes for the PERsonalised Medicine for Intensification of Treatment (PERMIT) study manuscript titled "Comparative effectiveness of alternative second-line oral antidiabetic treatments on metabolic, kidney, and cardiovascular outcomes amongst people with type 2 diabetes mellitus: a cohort study using routinely collected health data

Cross sectional survey data for self-reported ever and recent (last 12 months) STI testing

Data collected as part of a self-reported survey on sexual behaviour and sexually transmitted infection (STI) testing. The cross-sectional survey was conducted with adolescents and young people aged 15 to 24 in two communities of Lusaka, Zambia

Data supporting: "The effect of BCG revaccination on the response to unrelated vaccines in urban Ugandan adolescents: results of the POPVAC C randomised, controlled trial"

This dataset comprises individual-level data from participants in the POPVAC C randomised controlled trial. POPVAC C was an open-label randomised controlled trial of Bacillus Calmette Guérin (BCG) revaccination versus no BCG among schoolchildren in Entebbe, Uganda (ISRCTN10482904). The aim of the trial was to comprehensively address the hypothesis that revaccination with BCG might enhance responses to unrelated vaccines. A portfolio of vaccines, of potential benefit to the children and comprising live, inert, oral and parenteral, was provided to enable a comprehensive assessment and comparison of effects of BCG revaccination on immune response to vaccines with different characteristics
