Modeling of Climatic Index on Infectious Diarrheal Disease
(University of Rajshahi, 2019-06) Ahasan, Md. Nazmul; Alam, Md. Mesbahul; Mondal, Dinesh
Ever-increasing demand of quality health care services, service delivery institutions and service providers struggle to meet up excess demands, particularly associated with peak events like diarrhea. Front-line health delivery services and providers are not usually adequately pre-informed and do not have adequate resources to meet the needs of health care. The main motivation of this study is to model the infectious diarrheal patients hospitalized data considering its variations over time as the dynamics of the disease depends on various climate factors. The monthly data were used the number of infected diarrheal patients who were hospitalized for diarrhea from January, 1993 to December, 2017 as target and IOD & MEI as explanatory. The selected models were those with appropriate distribution for count data, flexible and that allows insertion of explanatory variables experimented. In literature, it is found that Poisson and Negative Binomial distributions have been widely used in GLM with recurrence, but its performance is weak in comparison to the Wavelet-INGARCH model. This research finds suitable forecasting models for time series counts of infectious diarrheal patients, and demonstrates expected results for decision-maker related to diarrheal disease. The practical consequence behind the research was to incorporate wavelet decomposition whether the data are either stationary or non-stationary or linear or non-linear or seasonal or having trend. The W-INGARCH-NB(1, 1) model with MEI as covariate has been found outstanding performance in forecasting number of infectious diarrheal patients.

Undernutrition, vitamin A and iron deficiency are associated with impaired intestinal mucosal permeability in young Bangladeshi children assessed by lactulose/mannitol test

Background: Lactulose/mannitol (L:M) test has been used as a non-invasive marker of intestinal mucosal-integrity and -permeability (enteropathy). We investigated the association of enteropathy with anthropometrics, micronutrient-status, and morbidity in children. Methods: The urine and blood samples were collected from 925 children aged 6±24 months residing in Mirpur slum of Dhaka, Bangladesh during November 2009 to April 2013. L:M test and micronutrient status were assessed in the laboratory of International Centre for Diarrhoeal Diseases Research, Bangladesh (icddr,b) following standard procedure. Results: Mean±SD age of the children was 13.2±5.2 months and 47.8% were female. Urinary-lactulose recovery was 0.264±0.236, mannitol recovery was 3.423±3.952, and L:M was 0.109 ±0.158. An overall negative correlation (Spearman's-rho) of L:M was found with age (rs = -0.087; p = 0.004), weight-for-age (rs = -0.077; p = 0.010), weight-for-length (rs = -0.060; p = 0.034), mid-upper-arm-circumference (rs = -0.098; p = 0.001) and plasma-retinol (rs = -0.105; p = 0.002); and a positive correlation with plasma α-1-acid glycoprotein (rs = 0.066; p = 0.027). However, most of the correlations were not very strong. Approximately 44% of children had enteropathy as reflected by L:M of ≥0.09. Logistic regression analysis revealed that younger age (infancy) (adjusted odds ratio (AOR) = 1.35; p = 0.027), diarrhea (AOR = 4.00; p = 0.039) or fever (AOR = 2.18; p = 0.003) within previous three days of L:M test were the risk factors of enteropathy (L:M of ≥0.09). Conclusions: Enteropathy (high L:M) is associated with younger age, undernutrition, low vitamin A and iron status, and infection particularly diarrhea and fever.
