Figure 2 highlights the remarkable increase in morbidity in less-transfused and over-transfused patients.
It has demonstrated a significant reduction of pain and morbidity, resulting in less use of analgesics and less frequent and generally milder postoperative complications, the most common being acute urinary retention and paresthesias.
Such birth defects include neural tube defects, congenital heart anomalies and Down Syndrome which also have high mortality and morbidity especially in less developed countries [ 38].
It seems plausible that the gradient in amenable mortality reflects the earlier onset and treatability of multiple morbidity in a less responsive health care environment rather than a rise in the incidence of a single specific cause.
There has been little international policy debate surrounding the use of influenza vaccination in the prevention of ischaemic cardiac disease morbidity in people less than 65 years of age.
In this review we have included trials that evaluated the disaggregated evidence of the impact of education on CF alone, and provision of CF with or without education (excluding those on food fortification and supplementary feeding) on growth and morbidity in children less than 2 years of age in LMICs.
Although unintentional injuries are major causes of morbidity and mortality in less developed countries, they have received scant attention, and injury prevention policies and programs have just begun to be addressed systemically.
Although unintentional injuries are major causes of morbidity and mortality in less developed countries [1 4], they have received scant attention [5, 6], and injury prevention policies and programs have just begun to be addressed systemically [7].
Neonatal and infant mortality and morbidity are high in less developed countries.
Pathophysiological, experimental and clinical data suggest that an 'ultraprotective' mechanical ventilation strategy reducing tidal volume to 3 4 ml/kg predicted body weight and plateau pressure to < 25 cmayO may further reduce VILI and ARDS-associated morbidity and mortality in less severe ARDS patients.
Incremental PM2.5 from secondhand smoke in approximately half the smoking casinos exceeded a level known to produce cardiovascular morbidity in nonsmokers after less than 2 h of exposure, posing acute health risks to patrons and workers.
