Abstract

Wealthy nations must step up support for Africa and vulnerable countries in addressing past, present and future impacts of climate change The 2022 report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) paints a dark picture of the future of life on earth, characterised by ecosystem collapse, species extinction, and climate hazards such as heat waves and floods1. These are all linked to physical and mental health problems, with direct and indirect consequences of increased morbidity and mortality. To avoid these catastrophic health effects across all regions of the globe, there is broad agreement—as 231 health journals argued together in 2021—that the rise in global temperature must be limited to less than 1.5oC compared with pre-industrial levels.

Abstract

Wealthy nations must step up support for Africa and vulnerable countries in addressing past, present and future impacts of climate change. The 2022 report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) paints a dark picture of the future of life on earth, characterised by ecosystem collapse, species extinction, and climate hazards such as heatwaves and floods. These are all linked to physical and mental health problems, with direct and indirect consequences of increased morbidity and mortality. To avoid these catastrophic health effects across all regions of the globe, there is broad agreement—as 231 health journals argued together in 2021—that the rise in global temperature must be limited to less than 1.5oC compared with pre-industrial levels. While the Paris Agreement of 2015 outlines a global action framework that incorporates providing climate finance to developing countries, this support has yet to materialise. COP27 is the fifth Conference of the Parties (COP) to be organised in Africa since its inception in 1995. Ahead of this meeting, we—as health journal editors from across the continent—call for urgent action to ensure it is the COP that finally delivers climate justice for Africa and vulnerable countries. This is essential not just for the health of those countries, but for the health of the whole world.

Abstract

The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to evaluate available prevalence and viral sequencing data representing chronic hepatitis B (CHB) infection in Kenya. More than 20% of the global disease burden from CHB is in Africa, however there is minimal high quality seroprevalence data from individual countries and little viral sequencing data available to represent the continent. We undertook a systematic review of the prevalence and genetic data available for hepatitis B virus (HBV) in Kenya using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-analysis (PRISMA) 2020 checklist. We identified 23 studies reporting HBV prevalence and 8 studies that included HBV genetic data published in English between January 2000 and December 2021. We assessed study quality using the Joanna Briggs Institute critical appraisal checklist. Due to study heterogeneity, we divided the studies to represent low, moderate, high and very high-risk for HBV infection, identifying 8, 7, 5 and 3 studies in these groups, respectively. We calculated pooled HBV prevalence within each group and evaluated available sequencing data. Pooled HBV prevalence was 3.4% (95% CI 2.7-4.2%), 6.1% (95% CI 5.1-7.4%), 6.2% (95% CI 4.64-8.2) and 29.2% (95% CI 12.2-55.1), respectively. Study quality was overall low; only three studies detailed sample size calculation and 17/23 studies were cross sectional. Eight studies included genetic information on HBV, with two undertaking whole genome sequencing. Genotype A accounted for 92% of infections. Other genotypes included genotype D (6%), D/E recombinants (1%) or mixed populations (1%). Drug resistance mutations were reported by two studies. There is an urgent need for more high quality seroprevalence and genetic data to represent HBV in Kenya to underpin improved HBV screening, treatment and prevention in order to support progress towards elimination targets.

Abstract

Over 200 health journals call on the United Nations, political leaders, and health professionals to recognise that climate change and biodiversity loss are one indivisible crisis and must be tackled together to preserve health and avoid catastrophe. This overall environmental crisis is now so severe as to be a global health emergency.

Abstract

More than 20% of the global disease burden from chronic hepatitis B infection (CHB) is in Africa, however there is minimal high quality seroprevalence data from individual countries and little viral sequencing data available to represent the continent. We undertook a systematic review of the prevalence and genetic data available for hepatitis B virus (HBV) in Kenya using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-analysis (PRISMA) 2020 checklist. We identified 23 studies reporting HBV prevalence and 25 studies that included HBV genetic data published in English between January 2000 and December 2021. We assessed study quality using the Joanna Briggs Institute critical appraisal checklist. Due to study heterogeneity, we divided the studies to represent low, moderate, high and very high-risk for HBV infection. We calculated pooled HBV prevalence within each group and evaluated available sequencing data. We also assessed whether reported HBV biomarkers could be applied to determine treatment eligibility. Eight studies were identified in the low-risk group, seven in the moderate risk group, five in the high-risk group and three in the very high-risk group for HBV infection. Pooled HBV prevalence was 3.31% (95% CI 2.62-4.01%), 5.58% (95% CI 3.46-7.7%), 6.17% (95% CI 4.4-9.94) and 31.39% (95% CI 9.5-53.09) respectively. Study quality was overall low, representing a small geographical location or a limited population subset. Only three studies detailed sample size calculation and 17/23 studies were cross sectional. Eight studies included genetic information on HBV, representing 247 individuals. Six studies sequenced one or two genes; two undertook whole genome sequencing, representing 22 participants. 92% people were infected with genotype A. Other genotypes included genotype D (6%), D/E recombinants (1%) or mixed populations (1%). Drug resistance mutations were reported by two studies. Seven studies presented additional biomarkers alongside HBsAg, however none provided sufficient information to deduce treatment eligibility.

Abstract

In rapidly evolving global situations such as the COVID-19 pandemic, research needs to incorporate the realities of different global contexts. Identifying knowledge gaps and setting research priorities in different global contexts helps to effectively direct resources and scientific efforts towards the most pressing needs, including relevant public health interventions to tackle the direct and indirect impact of the pandemic. Collaborative international research initiatives such as the COVID-19 Clinical Research Coalition are necessary to confront both the current pandemic and prepare for future outbreaks. As evidenced by this Clinical Epidemiology Working Group (WG), the COVID-19 pandemic has emphasized the importance of global communication to optimize evidence-based thinking and collaboration. We present here a list of prioritized research questions in clinical epidemiology that aims to streamline COVID-19 research priority areas for low-resource settings.
