TL;DR: The annual estimates of child mortality by cause to 2000–15 are updated to reflect on progress toward the MDG 4 and consider implications for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) target for child survival.

TL;DR: Pneumococcal deaths declined by 51% and Hib deaths by 90% from 2000 to 2015 and progress towards further reducing the global burden of Hib and pneumococcal disease burden will depend on the efforts of a few large countries in Africa and Asia.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the comparative effectiveness and safety of monotherapy (thiazolidinediones, metformin, sulfonylureas, dipeptidyl peptidase-4 [DPP-4], inhibitors, sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 [SGLT-2] inhibitors, and glucagon-like peptide-1 [GLP-1] receptor agonists) in adults with type 2 diabetes.

TL;DR: All key risk factors for child pneumonia (non-exclusive breastfeeding, crowding, malnutrition, indoor air pollution, incomplete immunisation, and paediatric HIV), with the exception of low birthweight, decreased across all regions between 2000 and 2015.

TL;DR: Analysis of intervention coverage, equity, and drivers of reproductive, maternal, newborn, and child health (RMNCH) in the 81 Countdown countries suggests that available services in many countries are of poor quality, limiting the potential effect on RMNCH outcomes.
