Objectives. To compare the differences of epidemiology analysis in population birth defects (BDs) between the rural and urban areas of Hunan Province in China. Methods. The data of population-based BDs in Liuyang county (rural) and Shifeng district (urban) in Hunan Province for 2014–2018 were analyzed. BD prevalence rates, percentage change, and annual percentage change (APC) by sex and age were calculated to evaluate time trends. Risk factors associated with BDs were assessed using simple and multiple logistic regression analyses. Results. The BD prevalence rate per 10,000 perinatal infants (PIs) was 220.54 (95% CI: 211.26-230.13) in Liuyang and 181.14 (95% CI: 161.18-202.87) in Shifeng. Significant decreasing trends in BD prevalence rates were noted in the female PIs ( APC = − 9.31 , P = 0.044 ) and the total BD prevalence rate in Shifeng ( APC = − 14.14 , P = 0.039 ). Risk factors for BDs were as follows: rural area, male PIs, PIs with gestational age < 37 weeks, PIs with birth weight < 2500   g , and migrant pregnancies. Conclusions. We should focus on rural areas, reduce the prevalence of premature and low birth weight infants, and provide maternal healthcare services for migrant pregnancies for BD prevention from the perspective of population-based BD surveillance.

Objective: To describe the clinical features of stroke patients from rural and urban areas and to identify possible associations with clinical outcomes. Introduction: There is little information in Latin America about risk factors, treatments, and outcomes in stroke patients from rural areas and urban people. The rural population faces multiple healthcare access barriers that might influence stroke outcomes. This paper describes and analyzes clinical features in stroke patients according to their location. Methods: Prospective cohort study of Colombian stroke patients using demographic and clinical data collected between 2018 and 2020 in a high complexity hospital from southwestern Colombia, as part of a pilot stroke network consisting of rural primary centers and a mothership center. Mode of transport to the stroke center, timing, clinical characteristics, interventions, and modified Rankin scale (mRS) at discharge and 3 months were assessed. Results: We included 579 stroke patients (66.14% ischemic), with a median age of 70 years (60-81). Urban subjects showed higher prevalence of dyslipidemia (p=0.009), previous hemorrhagic stroke (p=0.036), and TIA (p=0.002). Approximately 35% of cases were initially evaluated at a rural primary care center. These subjects exhibited a higher NIHSS scores (10 IQR 5-19 vs. 5 IQR 2-13; p=0.000) with a longer window (p<0.001) and were mainly transferred by ambulance (89.80%, p=0.000). Due to the severity, door-to-imaging time was shorter (p=0.001). Rural patients receive thrombolysis in 27.36% and underwent thrombectomy in 14.43%. Higher mRs at discharge (3 IQR 2-5 vs. 2 IQR 1-4; p=0.000) and three-months follow-up (3 IQR 1-6 vs. 1 IQR 0-4; p<0.001) were observed. Conclusions: Rural patients from southwestern Colombia were more likely to present with severe strokes even though they had lower rates of cardiovascular risk factors. They arrived later to the stroke center, but the final diagnosis was reached faster. Nonetheless, disability was higher at discharge and 3-months follow-up.

Childhood poisoning is a major cause of morbidity in both developing and developed countries. In spite of the suc-cess of some interventions to prevent accidental poisoning in the pediatric population, toxic ingestions continue to be a common occurrence. This aim of this study was to identify the incidence rate and determinants of acute poison-ing among children (1-60 months old) who were admitted to the Poisoning Unit of a university hospital in Egypt. A study was conducted in the period from July 2011 until May 2012 at the poisoning unit of a university hospital. The studied children were from both rural and urban areas, were a mix of boys and girls, did not suffer from any mental disabilities, were aged between 1 month old to 60 months old, and were of Egyptian nationality. Data was collected by using a clinical examination form and a questionnaire. All parents/carers of the studied children were interviewed as well. Clinical assessment of the children included: general health conditions; AVPU (alert, respond to verbal stim-uli, respond to painful stimuli, unconsciousness); and clinical examinations. The findings of the study demonstrated that 18.5% of total admissions were children (1-60 months old), 62.5% were males, 83.3% did not attend nursery, 79.9% were from urban areas, 33% of mothers were illiterate, and 60.2% of poisonings were due to household prod-ucts. Kerosene alone was implicated in 24.3% of all cases; 37.4% of cases took place in the kitchen; 47.4% of cases were poisoned during the period between 8am and 4pm, and 65.4% reached the poisoning unit within 2 to 4 hours of accidental poisoning. Risk factors among the studied children were ordered by stepwise regression analysis as the following: non employed mothers; children who did not attend nursery; children of the male gender; and the educa-tion and literacy level of their mothers. Effective health promotion programs for parents and carers regarding poi-soning hazards are needed to increase awareness and reduce the incidence of poisoning among children.
