Objectives
This study aimed to assess the productivity loss and cost due to maternal ill-health conditions and its associated factors throughout pregnancy in rural Sri Lanka.

Design
A follow-up study of women registered in the Rajarata Pregnancy Cohort (RaPCo).

Setting
Anuradhapura district, Sri Lanka.

Participants
1573 pregnant women who were followed up from pregnancy identification to termination.

Primary and secondary outcome measures
The primary outcome measures of this study are productivity loss due to maternal ill-health conditions expressed by days/month and productivity cost due to maternal ill-health conditions expressed in monetary terms (US$)/month. Data were collected monthly, and all pregnant women were asked to report the leading cause of maternal ill-health condition and the associated loss due to absenteeism and presenteeism.

Results
During the pregnancy follow-up, 3595 (81.5%) months had at least one episode of maternal ill-health condition. Of these, only 1729 (48.1%) episodes sought medical care. Assistance for lost routine work was reported in 1281 (35.6%) episodes. The absenteeism, presenteeism and gross and net productivity loss per month were 3.6, 4.5, 8.1 and 5.5 days/month, respectively. The corresponding productivity cost was US$15.26/month. Nausea and vomiting (NVP) reported the highest prevalence (n=1599, 44.5%) until the second month of the third trimester, presenteeism (5.5 days/month) and gross productivity loss (9.5 days/month). Pregnant women with vaginal bleeding reported the highest absenteeism (6.2 days/month) and net productivity loss (6.8 days/month). Pregnant women diagnosed with anaemia reported the highest productivity cost (US$26.98/month). Monthly household expenditure, poverty and receiving assistance were the associated factors of productivity loss (p

Prevailing dogma in the treatment of acute ischemic stroke has long dictated that endovascular reperfusion of large infarcted areas distal to an occluded large intracranial artery is detrimental to patient outcomes. These concerns were rooted in the presumed deleterious effects of reperfusion, most notably symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage, and in the constrained opportunity to improve outcome due to the substantial infarction already present. Indeed, the initial waves of positive randomized endovascular stroke trials addressing thrombectomy in the early time window (0-6 hours) and with imaging selection in the late time window (6-24 hours) generally excluded from enrollment patients with a large baseline infarct (core). However, among the relatively small number of patients with large core infarcts inadvertently enrolled in these trials, analyses suggested an acceptable safety profile and potential benefit of thrombectomy. These rather unexpected findings led to the launch of several randomized trials prospectively assessing the efficacy and safety of thrombectomy in patients with acute ischemic stroke presenting with a large core and proximal large vessel occlusion in the anterior circulation. Across these trials, characterization of the infarcted brain has occurred with different imaging modalities using different definitions for what constitutes a large core, but common to all trials has been a requirement that infarction already be present on computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in at least 5 of the 10 regions of the Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score (ASPECTS) scale.

Objective
To assess the magnitude of diabetic health literacy (DHL) and associated factors among diabetes patients attending follow-up at public hospitals in Northeastern Ethiopia.

Design
An institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted from 24 May to 24 June 2022.

Setting
Diabetic clinics of four public hospitals in Northeastern Ethiopia.

Participants
611 adult diabetes patients who have been undergoing follow-up care for at least 6 months were systematically selected. Patients who were unable to communicate, were critically ill and with gestational diabetes mellitus were excluded from the study.

Outcomes
DHL was assessed using a 15-item tool developed from existing literature.

Results
Of all the participants, 300 (49.1%) had low, 174 (28.5%) moderate and 137 (22.4%) had high DHL levels. The significant factors impacting DHL included age (
