Abstract	Active detection of asymptomatic malaria cases and resolution of associated factors are essential for malaria elimination. There are no nationwide estimates for asymptomatic malaria and associated factors in Ethiopia. Therefore, this study aims to generate comprehensive and conclusive evidence from various studies conducted in Ethiopia. Published articles from various electronic databases such as PubMed, Google Scholar, CINAHL, Scopes, Cochrane Library, the Web of Science, and African Journals Online were accessed. Also, unpublished studies from Addis Ababa digital library were identified. All observational study designs were included in the search. Data were extracted on the Microsoft Excel spreadsheet and analyzed using STATA version 14.1. A random-effects model was fitted to estimate the pooled prevalence of asymptomatic malaria. A meta-regression and subgroup analysis was computed to see heterogeneity. The publication bias was assessed by the funnel plots and Egger's statistical tests. The analysis found that the pooled burden of asymptomatic malaria was 6.7 (95% confidence interval = 4.60, 8.79). The pooled prevalence of Plasmodium falciparum was 3.75 (95% confidence interval = 2.25, 5.18), and that of Plasmodium vivax was 2.22 (95% confidence interval = 1.46, 2.99). Factors such indoor residual spray service (odds ratio = 0.46; 95% confidence interval = 0.26, 0.81), never used insecticide-treated nets (odds ratio = 6.36; 95% confidence interval = 4.01, 10.09), and presence of stagnant water in the vicinity (odds ratio = 3.24; 95% confidence interval = 1.20, 8.71) were found to have a significant association with asymptomatic malaria. This study highlighted that pooled prevalence of asymptomatic malaria is high and varied by population groups. Prevalence of asymptomatic malaria was increased among those who never used insecticide-treated nets and were living near stagnant water by six and three times, respectively. The use of more sensitive diagnostic methods could yield a higher burden of the disease. Furthermore, active case detection is recommended for effective intervention toward elimination.

Abstract	Background: Currently, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is the leading cause of death and the rate of mortality is rapidly increasing over time. There is a paucity of information regarding the incidence and predictors of mortality among COVID-19 patients from low-income countries, particularly in Ethiopia. Objective: To assess incidence and predictors of mortality among COVID-19 patients admitted to treatment centers in North West Ethiopia. Methods: An institution-based retrospective cohort study was conducted among 552 laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 cases at Debre Markos University and Tibebe Ghion Hospital COVID-19 treatment centers in North West Ethiopia from March 2020 to March 2021. Data were collected from patients' medical records using a structured data extraction tool. Cox-proportional hazards regression models was fitted to identify significant predictors of mortality. Result: The overall mortality rate of COVID-19 was 4.7, (95 % CI: 3.3-6.8) per 1000 person day observations. Older age (AHR: 4.9; 95% CI: 1.8, 13.5), rural residence (AHR: 0.18; 95% CI: 0.05, 0.64), presence of hypertension (AHR: 3.04; 95% CI: 1.18, 7.8), presence of diabetes mellitus (AHR: 8.1; 95% CI: 2.9, 22.4) and cardiovascular disease (AHR: 5.2; 95% CI: (1.69, 16.2) were significantly associated with mortality. Conclusions: The rate of mortality among hospitalized COVID-19 patients in this study was low. COVID-19 patients from urban residences, older patients, and patients with comorbidity have a high risk of death. These high risk groups should be prioritized for COVID-19 vaccinations, and early screening and appropriate intervention should be established on presentation to health facility.

Abstract	Background: Mental health is for everybody, but the individuals in prisons require more focus. Depression is a contributor to the global burden of disease and affects people in prisons in particular. There were limited studies on depression among prisoners. Therefore, the study aimed to assess the magnitude of depression and factors associated with it among prisoners in Wollega Zones Prisons, western Ethiopia. Methods: Institutional based cross-sectional study was conducted on randomly selected 368 prisoners from June 1, 2019, up to August 1, 2019, in Wollega zones prisons. Data were collected by trained data collectors through interviewer-administered questionnaires. Data were entered into EpiData version 3.1 and analyzed using SPSS version 20. Bivariable and Multivariable logistic regression model was computed to identify factors associated with depressive symptoms. In the final model, the strength of the association between independent variables and depression was measured using the Adjusted Odds Ratio (AOR) with the corresponding 95% Confidence Interval (CI). Then, in the final model, variables having a p-value of less than 0.05 were considered factors significantly associated with depression. Results: Of the total study respondents, 166/368 (45.1%) had symptoms of depression. Lack of job opportunity in prison (AOR = 6.64, 95%CI: 3.65, 12.06), not attending religious place at all (AOR = 3.51, 95%CI: 1.30,10.00), and Unsentenced for suspected crime (AOR = 7.36, 95%CI: 2.08, 26.04) were associated with depression. Conclusion and recommendation: This finding showed that the magnitude of depression in prisons was high. Prisoners in the young age group, attending religious places, being married, prisoners who were sentenced for suspected crime on timely and prisoners performing work in prison were less likely to have depression. The prison institution needs to facilitate income-generating activities in prison, promoting prisoners to attend their religious places and promoting timely sentencing.

Abstract	Background: Health professionals' willingness to accept the COVID-19 vaccine is very important, and evidence suggests that only a limited proportion of health-care workers were ready to accept a COVID-19 vaccine, which is very low when compared with the risk of the disease. This study aimed to assess health professionals' acceptability and associated factors in Wollega University referral hospital, Western Ethiopia. Methods: An institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted among health-care workers in Wollega University referral hospital from March 26-28, 2021. The data were collected by using a self-administered questionnaire. Epi-data version 3.2 was used for data entry, and STATA version 14 was used for data analysis. The binary logistic regression model was employed to determine factors associated with the acceptability of the COVID-19 vaccine. Adjusted Odds Ratio (AOR) with 95% confidence intervals was computed and statistical significance was declared at a 5% level ( Results: A total of 191 health professionals have participated in the study. The study indicates that 65.4% (95% CI: 58.6%, 72.2%) of health professionals had the willingness to receive the COVID-19 vaccine if available. Age of health professionals (AOR = 3.58, 95% CI: 1.38, 8.38), knowledge of the COVID-19 vaccine (AOR = 2.98, 95% CI: 1.22, 7.23), and perception of COVID 19 vaccine (AOR = 5.71, 95% CI: 2.50, 13.00) were significantly associated with vaccine acceptability. Conclusions and recommendations: Nearly, two-thirds of health professionals were willing to accept the COVID-19 vaccine, which is low. In general, continuous communication and health education have to be provided to enhance overall awareness of the COVID-19 vaccine.

Abstract	Background: Perforated peptic ulcer disease is a serious complication of peptic ulcer disease (PUD) that presents as acute abdomen. It is very uncommon during pregnancy, but its diagnosis in pregnancy is very challenging in general, and more so in the third trimester. Timely diagnosis and prompt surgical intervention can prevent maternal and fetal mortality, but delayed diagnosis is linked with poor maternal and fetal outcomes. The aim of this case report is to emphasize the need for healthcare professionals to consider the differential diagnosis of perforated PUD when presented with cases of acute abdomen in pregnancy and to involve a multidisciplinary team in management for better feto-maternal outcome. Case presentation: A 35-year-old pregnant Ethiopian woman, Gravida 7 and Para 6, presented with a sudden onset of right upper quadrant pain, nausea, and vomiting of 7 hours duration at 36 weeks of gestation. She also had contractions and leakage of liquor of two hours duration. Her abdomen was grossly distended, rigid, and diffusely tender, and showed limited movement with respiration. An upright abdominal X-ray demonstrated air under the diaphragm. She was diagnosed with perforated peptic ulcer disease. Labor was augmented, and a 2.9-kg live male neonate was delivered vaginally. Two hours after delivery, laparoscopic omental patch repair was performed. The patient was discharged 7 days after the omental patch repair surgery in stable condition. Conclusions: Perforated PUD in pregnancy is a rare occurrence, which may account for the delay in diagnosis and management. Obstetricians should keep a high index of suspicion when a pregnant woman presents with acute abdomen. Care provided by obstetricians should be coupled with care provided by other disciplinary teams, in order to reduce maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality.

Abstract	Background: Self-medication of medicines is a global issue particularly among those with good access and familiarity with medications such as university students. It has a significant impact on drug resistance and medication-related complications. There are limited and inconsistent studies on self-medication practices in Ethiopia. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to estimate the pooled prevalence of self-medication and its predictors among university students in Ethiopia. Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted to assess the prevalence and predictors of self-medication among university students in Ethiopia. Published articles from various electronic databases such as Medline, Hinari, Pub Med, Cochrane library, and the Web of Science were accessed. In addition, a manual search was performed including Google Scholar. Searching of articles were searched from January 1st to February 1 Results: We found of 812 published and unpublished studies in our search. Finally, 31 full-text studies were reviewed, and 13 studies fulfilled the inclusion criteria and were included in the final meta-analysis. A total of 5377 study respondents from 13 studies were included in the study. The results of our study revealed that the pooled prevalence of self-medication among university students was 49.41% (95% CI 38.67%, 60.13%). The included studies had a sample size ranging from 250 to 792 with the lowest prevalence (19.87%) of self-medication from the University of Gondar, whereas the highest prevalence (77.01%) was recorded in a study conducted at Arsi University. From the pooled estimation, there was a significant association between self-medication and income (OR = 0.67: 95% CI 0.55-0.80). However, the association between self-medication and year of study and sex of participants was insignificant. Conclusion: The pooled prevalence of self-medication among Ethiopian university students was relatively high compared to the current global health problem with an increase in anti-microbial resistance. Health professionals and concerned bodies should pay attention to raising awareness regarding the consequences of using medications without prescription.

Abstract	Tuberculosis (TB) is the leading infectious cause of mortality worldwide. Despite the development of different antituberculosis drugs, managing resistant mycobacteria is still challenging. The discovery of novel drugs and new methods of targeted drug delivery have the potential to improve treatment outcomes, lower the duration of treatment, and reduce adverse events. Following bedaquiline and delamanid, pretomanid is the third medicine approved as part of a novel drug regimen for treating drug-resistant TB. It is a promising drug that has the capacity to shape TB treatment and achieve the End TB strategy set by the World Health Organization. The effectiveness of pretomanid has been reported in different observational and clinical studies. However, long-term safety data in humans are not yet available and the pretomanid-based regimen is recommended under an operational research framework that prohibits its wider and programmatic use. Further research is needed before pretomanid can be celebrated as a promising candidate for the treatment of different categories of TB and specific patients. This review covers the update on pretomanid development and its clinical roles in treating Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

Abstract	Background: The cost of maternal complications is considered as an important factor hindering the utilization of maternal health care services. However, information of estimate of spending on maternal complication was lacking. This study was aimed to estimate the cost of maternal complications and associated factors among mother's attending Hawassa public hospitals, Sidama Regional state, Ethiopia. Methods: A cross-sectional study design was conducted among 348 randomly selected mothers attending public hospitals in Hawassa from November 15 to December 15, 2021. Data was coded and entered into Epi Data version 3.1 and exported to STATA version 16.0 for analysis. Simple and multiple linear regression analysis was done. Correlation coefficient along with 95% CI was used to present the finding and Results: This study found that total median cost of maternal complications was 4895.5 (IQR = 3779) ETB. The total median direct medical cost was 1765.5 (IQR = 1649.5) ETB. Number of days absent [( Conclusions: Total median cost of maternal complications in current study was high. Respondents' site of diagnosis, number of days missed from work, number of laboratory tests, and distance from hospitals were independent predictors of maternal complications cost. Thus, we will recommend governments to introduce strategies that specifically help mothers with maternal complications.

Abstract	Background: Ethiopia has launched a community-based health insurance (CBHI) since 2011, which is an innovative financing mechanism to enhance domestic resource mobilization and sustainable health financing. This study assessed determinants of CBHI enrollment among HHs (households) of East Wollega, Ethiopia, 2022. Method and materials: Community based unmatched 1:2 case-control study design was conducted between Jan 7and Feb 5/2022 among 428 HHs (144 cases and 284 controls). Cases were selected from HHs who registered for CBHI and currently using CBHI. Controls were from those who do not registered for CBHI membership. Data collected using a semi-structured, interview administered questionnaire. Multivariable logistic regression with SPSS version 25 was employed for analysis and variables were declared statistical significant association at Result: Data from 428 (144 cases and 284 controls to CBHI) were collected; a response rate of 98.8%. Statistically lower odds of CBHI enrollment was observed among HHs who have poor knowledge [AOR = 0.48 (95% CI:0.27, 0.85)], perceived not respectful care [AOR = 0.44 (95% CI :0.24, 0.81)], unavailability of laboratory services [AOR = 0.37(95% CI:0.21, 0.66)], inappropriate time of premium payment [AOR = 0.31(95% CI:0.18, 0.52)]. In addition, medium wealth status category [AOR = 0.11(95% CI: 0.03, 0.45)]. Higher odd of CBHI enrollment observed among who have formal education [AOR = 2.39(95% CI: 1.28, 4.48)]. Conclusion and recommendation: Educational level, knowledge, time of membership payment, laboratory test availability, perception of respectful care and wealth status were significant determinants of CBHI enrollment status. Hence, the responsible bodies should discuss and decide with community on the appropriate time of premium payment collection, and enhance community education on CBHI benefit package.
