INDIA Health information system is needed at small area such as sub-centres (SC), Primary Health Centres (PHC) or district level for health planning. This includes monitoring of maternal and child health services, providing warning signals to identify specific problematic areas and improving them through necessary interventions. One of such problematic situations has been the high levels of fer...

Health and development are intricately related. Although India has made significant progress in the last few decades in the health sector and overall growth in GDP, there are still large regional differences in both health and development. The main objective of this paper is to develop techniques for the prediction of health indicators for all the districts of India and examine the correlations...

Setting One academic teaching hospital and six non-academic teaching hospitals. PARTICIPANTS Women having intrauterine insemination for unexplained, cervical factor, or male subfertility. INTERVENTIONS 15 minutes of immo...

The crude oil prices as well as the effective exchange rate of the dollar are both time series and non -stationary as well. In this paper, we investigate the relationship between real effective exchange rate and crude oil prices by hybrid wavelet network. We use a simple Multi-layer Perceptron Neural Network (MLPNN) based wavelet decomposition to analyse the relatio nship between real effective...

OBJECTIVE To examine the variation between hospitals in rates of severe intraventricular haemorrhage (IVH) in preterm babies adjusting for case mix and sampling variability. DESIGN Cross sectional study of pooled data from 1995 to 1997. SETTING 24 neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) in the Australian and New Zealand Neonatal Network. PARTICIPANTS 5413 infants of gestational age 24-30 we...

In the framework of sustainable development goals, this study aims to answer question how higher degree gender inequality may affect children’s health. Study findings confirm statistically significant associations (P-value <0.001) between Gender Inequality Index (GII), and It reveals that more than 33% variation in immunization rate children under age five is explained by genders. This relative...

This study was undertaken to establish the prevalence rates at birth of the skeletal dysplasias that can be recognised in the perinatal period. Using the data base of the Latin-American Collaborative Study of Congenital Malformations (ECLAMC), for the years 1978 to 1983, on 349 470 births (live and stillbirths), a crude prevalence rate of 2.3/10 000 was observed. However, several indications of...
