Read More BACKGROUND: The COVID‑19 pandemic has spread rapidly across the world and has currentlyimpacted most countries and territories globally. This study aimed to identify health‑care determinantsof mortality and recovery rates of COVID‑19 and compare the efficiency of health systems in responseto this pandemic.MATERIALS AND METHODS: A cross‑sectional study was conducted using data obtained from theWorld Bank database, that provides free and open access to a comprehensive set of health‑ andsocioeconomic‑related data, by September 12, 2020. An adjusted linear regression model wasapplied to determine predictors of mortality (per 1 million population [MP]) and recovery rates (per 1MP) in the included countries. One‑way analysis of variance was applied to assess health systems’efficiency in response to COVID‑19 pandemic using mortality and recovery rate (output variables)and current health expenditure (CHE) per capita (input variable).RESULTS: Globally, San Marino and Qatar had the highest mortality rate (1237/1 MP) and confirmedcase rate (43,280/1 MP) until September 12, 2020, respectively. Iran had a higher mortality rate (273/1MP vs. 214.5/1 MP) and lower recovery rate (4091.5/1 MP vs. 6477.2/1 MP) compared to countrieswith high CHE per capita. CHE per capita (standardized coefficient [SC] = 0.605, P < 0.001) andpopulation aged 65 years and over as a percentage of total population (SC = −0.79, P < 0.001)significantly predicted recovered cases from COVID‑19 in the included countries.CONCLUSION: This study revealed that countries with higher CHE per capita and higher proportion ofolder adults were more likely to have a higher recovery rate than those with lower ones. Furthermore,our study indicated that health systems with higher CHE per capita statistically had a greater efficiencyin response to COVID‑19 compared to those with lower CHE per capita. More attention to preventivestrategies, early detection, and early intervention is suggested to improve the health system efficiencyin controlling COVID‑19 and its related mortalities worldwide.

Read More BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Stroke is the second leading cause of death worldwide andthe number of stroke cases has increased remarkably over the last 20 years. This study aimed atidentifying predictors of with 6‑month mortality of first‑ever stroke patients and the factors contributingto it in East Azerbaijan province.MATERIALS AND METHODS: A closed cohort study was carried out from April 2014 toDecember 2014. All cases of first‑ever diagnosed stroke were included in the study. Any transientischemic attack, silent brain infarctions, and the stroke cases which were neither associated withtrauma, blood disease nor with malignancy were excluded from the study. The variables of this studyinclude participants’ demographic characteristics, stroke severity National Institutes of Health StrokeScale (NIHSS), and stroke risk factors. Patients were followed up within 6 months. To determine thesurvival time, the log‑rank method was applied to compare intergroup differences. The tests includethe univariate and multivariate analysis Cox regression. P < 0.05 were considered as statisticallysignificant.RESULTS: A total of 576 cases of stroke were included in this study. Average age of ischemic andhemorrhagic stroke was 70.15 ± 13.0 and 67.79 ± 12.69, respectively. Case‑fatality rate (CFR)of stroke patients was 49.2 and 21.7% in hemorrhagic and ischemic stroke types, respectively.Factors contributing to stroke mortality events include the severity of stroke (NIHSS categories15–19 and ≥20), age over 65, being female, high body mass index and hyperlipidemia. In thefinal model, the severity of stroke (with NIHSS 15–19 with hazard ratio (HR) 4.22 (95% confidenceinterval [CI] 2.36–7.56) and NIHSS ≥20 with HR 5.34 (95% CI: 2.81–10.12) and age above 65 withHR 1.61 (95% CI: 1.02–2.51) were the most important predictors of 6‑month mortality.CONCLUSION: Severity of stroke by NIHSS was the most prominent factor in stroke patients’mortality. By increasing the follow‑up time, a better evaluation of the predictors of mortality afterstroke can be achieved.
