Journal ArticleDOI
Estimation of the burden of active and life-time epilepsy: A meta-analytic approach
Anthony K. Ngugi,Christian Bottomley,Immo Kleinschmidt,Josemir W. Sander,Charles R. Newton,Charles R. Newton,Charles R. Newton +6 more
TL;DR: To estimate the burden of lifetime epilepsy (LTE) and active epilepsy (AE) and examine the influence of study characteristics on prevalence estimates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Young people's sexual health in South Africa: HIV prevalence and sexual behaviors from a nationally representative household survey
Audrey Pettifor,Helen Rees,Immo Kleinschmidt,Annie E. Steffenson,Catherine MacPhail,Lindiwe Hlongwa-Madikizela,Kerry Vermaak,Nancy Padian +7 more
TL;DR: The high HIV prevalence among young people in South Africa and, in particular, young women's disproportionate risk is confirmed, indicating programs for youth must continue to promote partner reduction, consistent condom use and prompt treatment for sexually transmitted infections while also addressing contextual factors that make it difficult for them to implement behavior change.
Journal ArticleDOI
Incidence of epilepsy A systematic review and meta-analysis
Anthony K. Ngugi,Symon M. Kariuki,Christian Bottomley,Immo Kleinschmidt,Josemir W. Sander,Charles R. Newton +5 more
TL;DR: The results support the need for large population-based incidence studies of epilepsy and provide data that could potentially be used to assess the burden and analyze the trends in incidence of epilepsy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of hot spots of malaria transmission for targeted malaria control.
Teun Bousema,Teun Bousema,Chris Drakeley,Samwel Gesase,Ramadhan Hashim,Stephen M. Magesa,Frank W. Mosha,Silas Otieno,Ilona Carneiro,Jonathan Cox,Eliapendavyo Msuya,Immo Kleinschmidt,C. A. Maxwell,Brian Greenwood,Eleanor M. Riley,Robert W. Sauerwein,Daniel Chandramohan,Roly Gosling +17 more
TL;DR: Serological markers were able to detect spatial variation in malaria transmission at the microepidemiological level, and they have the potential to form an effective method for spatial targeting of malaria control efforts.
Journal ArticleDOI
A spatial statistical approach to malaria mapping
TL;DR: This work uses logistic regression modelling to determine approximate risk on a larger scale and employs geo-statistical approaches to improve prediction at a local level of malaria risk, using climatic, population and topographic variables as potential predictors.
