We report the findings of the first case-control study conducted in both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland to determine risk factors for sporadic Campylobacter infections. A total of 197 cases and 296 case-nominated controls matched for age, were included. Based on Population Attributable Fraction (PAF), the most important risk factors were consuming chicken [adjusted matched (am) OR 6.8; 95%CI 2.1-21.9], consuming lettuce (amOR 3.3; 95%CI 1.5-7.1) and eating in takeaways (amOR=3.1; 95%CI 1.4-6.6). Contact with sheep (amOR=11; 95%CI 1.6-78), peptic ulcer (amOR=19; 95%CI 3.8-93.7), hiatus hernia (amOR=20.3; 95%CI 2.3-183.3), lower bowel problems (amOR=4.5; 95%CI 1.2-16.8) were also independently associated with infection. Mains water supply showed protective effect (amOR=0.2; 95 CI 0.1-0.9). The findings highlight the continued need for consumer food safety education and further control measures throughout the food chain on the island of Ireland.

Purpose:We examined risk factors of dengue hemorrhagic fever death in Sardjito hospital. Method: We conducted case control study from patient medical records and interview with parents. Results: We found 29 deaths and 58 survived. The probability of death in obesity children was 6.29 times higher than non obesity children and the probability of death in children with prolonged shock was 12.14 times higher than children without prolonged shock. Other variables were family occupation, family income, residential zones, transportation, treatment financing, accuracy of diagnosis in previous health facilities, and fluid resuscitation before being referred has no significant relationship with dengue mortality. Conclusion: Obesity and prolonged shock were risk factors of dengue hemorrhagic fever death in children. Improve education to parents about high risk of shock syndrome among patients, especially for obesity children. Further studies related to social determinants in dengue hemorrhagic fever death are also necessary.
