The age-specific incidence of hospitalized paediatric malaria in Uganda
Mpimbaza, Arthur; Walemwa, Richard; Kapisi, James; Sserwanga, Asadu; Namuganga, Jane Frances; Kisambira, Yasin; Tagoola, Abner; Nanteza, Jane Frances; Rutazaana, Damain; Staedke, Sarah G.; Dorsey, Grant; Opigo, Jimmy; Kamau, Alice; Snow, Robert W. (BMC, 2020)Background: Understanding the relationship between malaria infection risk and disease outcomes represents a fundamental component of morbidity and mortality burden estimations. Contemporary data on severe malaria risks ... -
Association between indoor residual spraying and pregnancy outcomes: a quasi-experimental study from Uganda
Roh, Michelle E.; Mpimbaza, Arthur; Oundo, Brenda; Irish, Amanda; Murphy, Maxwell; Wu, Sean L.; White, Justin S.; Shiboski, Stephen; Glymour, M. Maria; Gosling, Roly; Dorsey, Grant; Sturrock, Hugh (Oxford University Press, 2022)Background: Malaria is a risk factor for adverse pregnancy outcomes. Indoor residual spraying with insecticide (IRS) reduces malaria infections, yet the effects of IRS on pregnancy outcomes are not well established. We ... -
Malaria diagnosed in an urban setting strongly associated with recent overnight travel: A case–control study from Kampala, Uganda
Arinaitwe, Emmanuel; Mpimbaza, Arthur; Nankabirwa, Joaniter I.; Kamya, Victor; Asiimwe, Alan; Kuule, Julius K.; Kamya, Moses R.; Drakeley, Chris; Dorsey, Grant; Rosenthal, Philip J.; Staedke, Sarah G. (2020)Malaria is frequently diagnosed in urban Kampala, despite low transmission intensity. To evaluate the association between recent travel out of Kampala and malaria, we conducted a matched case–control study. Cases were ... -
Practical implications of a relationship between health management information system and community cohort–based malaria incidence rates
Kigozi, Simon P.; Giorgi, Emanuele; Mpimbaza, Arthur; Kigozi, Ruth N.; Bousema, Teun; Arinaitwe, Emmanuel; Nankabirwa, Joaniter I.; Sebuguzi, Catherine M.; Kamya, Moses R.; Staedke, Sarah G.; Dorsey, Grant; Pullan, Rachel L. (2020)Global malaria burden is reducing with effective control interventions, and surveillance is vital to maintain progress. Health management information system (HMIS) data provide a powerful surveillance tool; however, its ... -
A quasi-experimental study estimating the impact of long-lasting insecticidal nets with and without piperonyl butoxide on pregnancy outcomes
Roh, Michelle E.; Oundo, Brenda; Dorsey, Grant; Shiboski, Stephen; Gosling, Roly; Glymour, M. Maria; Staedke, Sarah G.; Bennett, Adam; Sturrock, Hugh; Mpimbaza, Arthur (BMC, 2022)Background: Long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) are the main vector control tool for pregnant women, but their efficacy may be compromised, in part, due to pyrethroid resistance. In 2017, the Ugandan Ministry of Health ... -
Rapid shifts in the age‑specific burden of malaria following successful control interventions in four regions of Uganda
Kigozi, Simon P.; Kigozi, Ruth N.; Epstein, Adrienne; Mpimbaza, Arthur; Sserwanga, Asadu; Yeka, Adoke; Nankabirwa, Joaniter I.; Halliday, Katherine; Pullan, Rachel L.; Rutazaana, Damian; Sebuguzi, Catherine M.; Opigo, Jimmy; Kamya, Moses R.; Staedke, Sarah G.; Dorsey, Grant; Greenhouse, Bryan; Rodriguez‑Barraquer, Isabel (BMC, 2020)Background: Malaria control using long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) and indoor residual spraying of insecticide (IRS) has been associated with reduced transmission throughout Africa. However, the impact of transmission ...
