Introduction
The reproductive years can increase women’s weight-related risk. Evidence for effective postpartum weight management interventions is lacking and engaging women during this life stage is challenging. Following a promising pilot evaluation of the Supporting MumS intervention, we assess if theory-based and bidirectional text messages to support diet and physical activity behaviour change for weight loss and weight loss maintenance, are effective and cost-effective for weight change in postpartum women with overweight or obesity, compared with an active control arm receiving text messages on child health and development.

Methods and analysis
Two-arm, parallel-group, assessor-blind randomised controlled trial with cost-effectiveness and process evaluations. Women (n=888) with body mass index (BMI) ≥25 kg/m2 and within 24 months of giving birth were recruited via community and National Health Service pathways through five UK sites targeting areas of ethnic and socioeconomic diversity. Women were 1:1 randomised to the intervention or active control groups, each receiving automated text messages for 12 months. Data are collected at 0, 6, 12 and 24 months. The primary outcome is weight change at 12 months from baseline, compared between groups. Secondary outcomes include weight change (24 months) and waist circumference (cm), proportional weight gain ( >5 kg), BMI (kg/m2), dietary intake, physical activity, infant feeding and mental health (6, 12 and 24 months, respectively). Economic evaluation examines health service usage and personal expenditure, health-related quality of life and capability well-being to assess cost-effectiveness over the trial and modelled lifetime. Cost–utility analysis examines cost per quality-adjusted life-years gained over 24 months. Mixed-method process evaluation explores participants’ experiences and contextual factors impacting outcomes and implementation. Stakeholder interviews examine scale-up and implementation.

Ethics and dissemination
Ethical approval was obtained before data collection (West of Scotland Research Ethics Service Research Ethics Committee (REC) 4 22/WS/0003). Results will be published via a range of outputs and audiences.

Trial registration number
ISRCTN16299220.

Objectives
To examine non-sport- and sport-related concussion severity, clinical care frequency and delayed reporting in relation to recovery duration among collegiate athletes.

Design
Retrospective cohort study.

Setting
Pac-12 varsity collegiate athletes.

Participants
461 collegiate male and female athletes

Primary and secondary outcome measures
The incidence of sport-related concussion (SRC) and non-sport-related concussion (NRC) were collected as well as times to recovery and return-to-play (RTP), symptom score and symptom severity and reported a loss of consciousness (LOC), retrograde amnesia (RGA) and post-traumatic amnesia (PTA) following concussion incidence.

Results
Among 461 concussions, 388 (84%) occurred within sport and 73 (16%) occurred outside of sport. NRC, on average, required 3.5 more days to become asymptomatic (HR: 0.73, 95%confidence interval: 0.56 to 0.96, p=0.02) and 7 more days to RTP (HR: 0.64, 95% confidence interval: 0.49 to 0.85, p

‘Le donne del Ssn devono scegliere tra famiglia e carriera’

Long-term outcome and ‘health-related quality of life’ (HRQoL) following hospitalisation for COVID-19-related severe acute respiratory infection (SARI) is limited.
Objective
To assess the impact of HRQoL in patients hospitalised with COVID-19-related SARI at 1 year post discharge, focusing on the potential impact of age, frailty, and disease severity.

Method
Routinely collected outcome data on 1207 patients admitted with confirmed COVID-19 related SARI across all three secondary care sites in our NHS trust over 3 months were assessed in this retrospective cohort study. Of those surviving 1 year, we prospectively collected 36-item short form (SF-36) HRQoL questionnaires, comparing three age groups (

Introduction
Despite Ethiopia’s policy intention to provide recommended vaccination services to underprivileged populations, inequity in polio immunisation persists.

Objective
This study examined inequity and trends in polio immunisation and determinant factors among children aged 12–23 months in Ethiopia between 2000 and 2019.

Methods
Cross-sectional data from 2000, 2005, 2011, 2016 and 2019 Ethiopian demographic and health surveys were analysed with the updated version of the WHO’s Health Equity Assessment Toolkit software. Six standard equity measures: equity gaps, equity ratios, population attributable risk, population attributable fraction, slope index of inequality and relative index of inequality were used. Datasets were analysed and disaggregated by the five equality stratifiers: economic status, education, place of residence, sex of the child and regions. Multilevel logistic regression analysis was used to identify determinant factors.

Results
Polio immunisation coverage was increased from 34.5% (2000) to 60.0% (2019). The wealth index-related inequity, in coverage of polio immunisation between quintiles 5 and 1, was 20 percentage points for most surveys. The population attributable risk and population attributable fraction measure in 2011 indicate that the national polio immunisation coverage in that year could have been improved by nearly 36 and 81 percentage points, respectively, if absolute and relative wealth-driven inequity, respectively, had been avoided. The absolute difference between Addis Ababa and Afar Region was 74 percentage points in 2000 and 60 percentage points in 2019. In multilevel analysis result, individual-level factors like wealth index, maternal education antenatal care and place of delivery showed statistical significance.

Conclusion
Although polio immunisation coverage gradually increased over time, in the 20-year survey periods, still 40% of children remained unvaccinated. Inequities in coverage by wealth, educational status, urban–rural residence and administrative regions persisted. Increasing service coverage and improving equitable access to immunisations services may narrow the existing inequity gaps.
