Obesity and its complications are associated with morbidity, mortality and high economic cost in Saudi Arabia. Estimating this impact at the population level and potential benefits to be gained from obesity reduction is vital to underpin policy initiatives to prevent disease risks. We combined data in an adapted version of the value of weight loss simulation model, to predict reductions in complication rates and cost savings achievable with 15% weight loss in Saudi Arabia over 10 years. To obtain model inputs, we conducted a systematic literature review (SLR) to identify data on the prevalence of obesity and its complications in Saudi Arabia, and surveyed specialist physicians and hospital administrators in public (governmental) and private healthcare sectors. We used combinations of age, sex, obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D) rates in Saudi Arabia to sample a United Kingdom (UK) cohort, creating a synthetic Saudi Arabia cohort expected to be representative of the population. The synthetic Saudi Arabia cohort reflected expected comorbidity prevalences in the population, with a higher estimated prevalence of T2D, hypertension and dyslipidaemia than the UK cohort in all age groups. For 100,000 people with body mass index 30–50 kg/m2, it was estimated that 15% weight loss would lead to a 53.9% reduction in obstructive sleep apnoea, a 37.4% reduction in T2D and an 18.8% reduction in asthma. Estimated overall cost savings amounted to 1.026 billion Saudi Arabian Riyals; the largest contributors were reductions in T2D (30% of total cost savings for year 10), dyslipidaemia (26%) and hypertension (19%). Sustained weight loss could significantly alleviate the burden of obesity-related complications in Saudi Arabia. Adopting obesity reduction as a major policy aim, and ensuring access to support and treatment should form an important part of the transformation of the healthcare system, as set out under ‘Vision 2030’.

To explore the outcomes of a pilot intervention of a type 2 diabetes (T2D) education program, based on international standards, and adapted to the cultural and religious contexts of Saudi women.This study is an experiment of a pilot intervention carried out between August 2011 and January 2012 at the primary health clinics in Dammam. Women at risk of or diagnosed with T2D (N=35 including dropouts) were assigned to one of 2 groups; an intervention group participated in a pilot intervention of T2D education program, based on international standards and tailored to their cultural and religious contexts; and a usual care group received the usual care for diabetes in Saudi Arabia. Outcomes included blood glucose, body composition, 6-minute walk distance, life satisfaction, quality of life, and diabetes knowledge. The intervention group participated in a focus group of their program experience. Data analysis was based on mixed methods.Based on 95% confidence interval comparisons, improvements were noted in blood sugar, 6-minute walk distance, quality of life, and diabetes knowledge in participants of the intervention group. They also reported improvements in lifestyle-related health behaviors after the education program.Saudi women may benefit from a T2D education program based on international standards and adapted to their cultural and religious contexts.

Introduction: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a global pandemic with significant morbidity and mortality. The Saudi government adopted mandatory home quarantine and curfew hours for all residents, excluding essential service workers. During the lockdown, the public's fear of infection can adversely impact mental health, causing psychological distress. The objective of this research is to assess frequency of depression and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) among the general population during COVID-19 pandemic in Saudi Arabia. Methodology: This was a cross-sectional study using the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) and Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory-Revised assessment test (OCI-R) in Arabic and English languages distributed via social media platforms. Chi-square test was used with significance determined at p<0.005. Results: We received a total of 2187 responses. Our results showed that being female, single, and unemployed had a higher frequency of suffering from depression whereas higher income levels and higher education was associated with less depression frequency. Increasing age, males, married individuals, higher income groups, higher levels of education and employed individuals were more likely to have OCD during COVID-19 pandemic. Conclusion: The COVID-19 pandemic period is associated with significant mental health risks among the Saudi population. The results can provide further scientific support to better understand the impact of quarantine on psychological distress and mental health during emergency and disaster situations.

Although oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMS) is expanding rapidly in Saudi Arabia, accurate knowledge of the specialty appears to be lacking. The aim of this study was to assess the knowledge, awareness, and perception of OMS among the public and professionals in Saudi Arabia. A cross-sectional design was adopted, incorporating five groups: dental interns, dental practitioners, medical interns, medical practitioners, and the public. A sample size of 130 was determined for each group, assuming a significance level of 5% and test power of 90%. Surveys were distributed randomly to participants from March to June 2018. For each of 15 specific clinical problems, respondents were asked to choose the most appropriate of three overlapping specialties for treatment, including OMS. A total of 1051 responses were collected. Participants correctly recognized OMS as appropriate for some problems, such as mandibular reconstruction, but for others recognition was poor. Surprisingly, medical professionals were the only group to strongly consider plastic surgery appropriate for treating orthognathic correction. Dental professionals were the most informed. This study highlights the need for greater awareness and education regarding OMS, promoting its development, contribution, and impact among the public and healthcare professionals in Saudi Arabia.

<b><i>Objectives:</i></b> Social media (SM) are evolving and dynamic applications which can be used in health-care settings to enhance professional networking and education; patient communication, care, and education; public health programs; organizational promotion; and research. This review aims to analyze, summarize, and describe the current Saudi experience of SM use for health. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> A MEDLINE/PubMed electronic database search was performed in July 2020 utilizing the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) recommendations. The initial search has yielded a total of 263 articles, of which 25 met our inclusion criteria. <b><i>Results:</i></b> In Saudi Arabia, the literature reports a high interest in using SM for health-related purposes among the public, with a prevalence of &#x3e;51%. The Saudi population has been found to highly favor the use of WhatsApp and Twitter for gaining and exchanging knowledge. Multiple facilitators and barriers have been identified and further categorized based on the users’ population, such as general public, health-care practitioners, and patients with specific conditions. Overall, the common facilitator and barrier between all users’ population categories were found to be younger age and lack of time, respectively. <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> SM use for health-care activities is increasing in Saudi Arabia. Thus, it is important for SM-based health education programs to target specific population and patients’ demographics with programs tailored to their particular interests and needs. This is particularly evident in the current achievements and future plans of the Saudi Ministry of Health.

To describe a community-based diabetes and hypertension screening campaign, the percentage of screened positive individuals, identified the participation rate, and the factors affecting the participation. CAMPAIGN DESIGN AND METHODS: A community-based screening campaign whose main objective was the screening for diabetes and hypertension was conducted in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia for three and half months in the year 2004. A structured questionnaire was used. Diabetes mellitus was diagnosed on the basis of repeated detection of a fasting blood sugar equal to or more than 126 mg/dl, and hypertension when the blood pressure was 140/90 mm Hg or more.Of the 650,000 target population, 214,381 (33%) participated, and 197,681 questionnaire were completed. Of the number of individuals screened, 31,711 (16%) were positive for abnormal blood pressure and /or glucose, and needed confirmation of their results. Only 17296 (54.5%) of them were referred to health facilities for confirmation of resultsCommunity screening campaigns for diabetes mellitus and hypertension is extremely efficient in identifying undiagnosed diabetic and hypertensive individuals. The most successful strategy for the screening and confirmation of results was through PHCCs, especially in the rural areas, where there was good organization and strict adherence to guidelines on methodology.

Dental caries levels in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia have been a cause of concern to public health planners for sometime. The dental caries symposium of the 14th Makkah Dental Conference brought together leaders from the different academic and clinical stakeholders in the provision of dental health care in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The aim of the symposium was to establish consensus on the role of different public health measures to be implemented in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia that could help reduce the overall dental caries rate. This consensus statement summarizes the key findings of the panel and presents a consensus statement on six major topics: (1) water fluoridation, (2) dental health care provision by the Ministry of Health, (3) cost-effectiveness of preventive dental care, (4) caries risk assessment, (5) evidence-based recommendations for the prevention of dental caries, and (6) the role of the dental academic sector in the prevention of dental caries. These six factors were discussed in the background of international best practices in caries prevention and how these practices could be adopted in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Background: Undertaking preventive health check-ups has proven to be an important strategy in the fight against several diseases. However, various socioeconomic circumstances may hinder participating in such an important health exercise for many people. With the growth in the burden of non-communicable diseases in Saudi Arabia, it is thus essential that people take an active role in undertaking preventive health check-ups. However, the extent to which this behavior is determined by inequalities in socioeconomic circumstances remains not well-documented. The aim of this study was to examine the socioeconomic inequalities in undertaking preventive health check-ups in Saudi Arabia, using a national survey with a sample of 11,528 respondents. Methods: Data from the Saudi Family Health Survey conducted in 2018 by the General Authority for Statistics were used for the analysis of this study. Univariate, bivariate, and multivariate logistic regression analyses were employed to examine the socioeconomic factors associated with undertaking preventive health check-ups. Concentration indices were calculated, and associated concentration curves were used to assess the socioeconomic inequalities in preventive health check-ups uptake. Moreover, decomposition analysis was performed to examine the extent to which the socioeconomic variables affect uptake of preventive health check-ups. Results: The results reveal that being older adults, more educated, insured, and married increase the probability of undertaking preventive health check-ups. Regarding socioeconomic inequalities, preventive health check-ups uptake was concentrated among the wealthier (concentration index: 0.0831; P &lt; 0.001). However, some differences were observed in terms of socioeconomic inequality across the regions. Decomposition of the Erreygers index supported the analysis of the determinants and suggested that income, and education were the primary drivers of the associated inequality. Conclusions: These results suggest that the government of Saudi Arabia should develop intervention programs and strategies that promote the uptake of health check-ups among the vulnerable group to reduce inequalities. Of particular importance is the need for more health-related education among the poor and those with lower education in order to raise their awareness on the benefits and advantages of conducting health examinations.

Background The rising prevalence of overweight and obesity and their health implications is a major public health concern worldwide. This study set out to understand the relationship between the number of hours spent watching television and Body Mass Index (BMI) in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia using data from the Saudi Health Interview Survey. Methods The study employed both ordinary least squares and quantile regressions to estimate the mean and distributional association of prolonged television watching and BMI. Results The findings showed that prolonged television viewing is associated with larger BMI values. Additionally, the relationship was found to be greater towards the lower and upper tails of the BMI range and insignificant in the middle of the BMI distribution. Furthermore, the findings also showed that there is a gender gap in BMI levels, where females are likely to have higher BMI values than males. Conclusions The creation of more proactive recreational programs that can act as substitutes to television watching is recommended in order to reduce the amount of time that individuals spend watching television. It is also recommended that such interventions are tailored towards improving females’ levels of physical activity. The inclusion of television programs aimed at encouraging physical exercise and healthy diets is also imperative.

The negative effects on health by behavior such as cigarette smoking, lack of physical exercise, non-control of body weight and non-use of seat belts were empirically documented. Available findings of the various studies on lifestyle of the Saudi Arabian community were not encouraging. If the general health status of the Saudi population is to be improved, an enforcement of healthy lifestyles must be considered.

This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of oral health intervention on the improvement in knowledge and self-reported oral health behavior among 6–8 year old female primary school children in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The sample consisted of 1661 girls in primary schools who are 6 to 8-year-olds (first, second and third graders). The children’s level of knowledge was assessed by a self-administered questionnaire that was formulated for this specific age and divided into two parts; oral health knowledge and self-reported oral health behavior. There were seven multiple choice questions and one true/false question with five underlying parts in the questionnaire which contained basic information about oral health knowledge, oral hygiene practices and certain habits that affect teeth. The questionnaires were distributed before and six weeks after implementation of the oral health educational program to measure the level improvement of knowledge regarding oral health among these children. All the questions showed statistically significant improvement in knowledge and self-reported behavior in the post intervention group. There was a significant increase in the level of knowledge by 11.24% and level of self-reported behavior by 25% after intervention (P < 0.001). The highest net change in the knowledge due to intervention was noted among third graders (13.3%), whereas for self-reported oral health behavior, it was noted among first graders (28.3%). The results of this study showed that an easy-to-organize and inexpensive school-based intervention can, on a short-term basis, be effective in improving the knowledge and self-reported oral health behavior of children.

Introduction Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is the most common healthcare-associated infection in critically ill patients. Prior studies suggest that probiotics may reduce VAP and other infections in critically ill patients; however, most previous randomised trials were small, single centre studies. The Probiotics: Prevention of Severe Pneumonia and Endotracheal Colonization Trial (PROSPECT) aims to determine the impact of the probiotic Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG on VAP and other clinically important outcomes in critically ill adults. Methods PROSPECT is a multicentre, concealed, randomised, stratified, blinded, controlled trial in patients ≥18 years old, anticipated to be mechanically ventilated ≥72 hours, in intensive care units (ICUs) in Canada, the USA and Saudi Arabia. Patients receive either 1×10 10 colony forming units of L. rhamnosus GG twice daily or an identical appearing placebo. Those at increased risk of probiotic infection are excluded. The primary outcome is VAP. Secondary outcomes are other ICU-acquired infections including Clostridioides difficile infection, diarrhoea (including antibiotic-associated diarrhoea), antimicrobial use, ICU and hospital length of stay and mortality. The planned sample size of 2650 patients is based on an estimated 15% VAP rate and will provide 80% power to detect a 25% relative risk reduction. Ethics and dissemination This protocol and statistical analysis plan outlines the methodology, primary and secondary analyses, sensitivity analyses and subgroup analyses. PROSPECT is approved by Health Canada (#9427-M1133-45C), the research ethics boards of all participating hospitals and Public Health Ontario. Results will be disseminated via academic channels (peer reviewed journal publications, professional healthcare fora including international conferences) and conventional and social media. The results of PROSPECT will inform practice guidelines worldwide. Trialregistration number NCT02462590 ; Pre-results.

Facing the local and imported borderless Aedes-linked vector-borne viral diseases threat and epidemics burden, the Health Committee of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), including the Saudi Arabian government, announced that all Gulf countries are still free from the threat of a Zika virus epidemic. This article provides a vision of integrated eco-friendly and sustainable behavioral communication change (BCC), biological control preparedness and resilience approaches, and innovations implementation in Saudi Arabia and GCC for the purpose of controlling the threat of Aedes-linked vector-borne viral diseases. Implementing innovative Aedes-linked arboviral preventive and resilient control measures is pivotal in improving community-based surveillance-response systems, BCC multidisciplinary and empowerment methods, and in enhancing community social mobilization and risk communication strategies. Moreover, boosting social, cultural and ecological preparedness, and prompt management approaches are necessary against the threat of local and global zoonotic epidemics and pandemics. Nurturing evidence and proven tick or mosquito vector populations' reduction, planned urbanization, climate change and waste management systems, and implementing data sharing and tailored mitigation solutions are crucial against the persisting Aedes competence and the public health threat of dengue, MERS-CoV, and influenza outbreaks. Sustained investment and ample financial allocation are needed to improve Muslim pilgrimage (Hajj and Umrah mass gathering) including point of entry screening and treatment, community-based education and awareness campaigns, and increasing mosquito vector viral pathogens surveillance interventions. Increasing evidence-based population participation and resilient emergency community preparedness and rapid response programs integration are critical to reduce mosquito breeding sites, dengue, and other arboviral infections.

Overweight and obesity among children and adolescents are emerging public health problems. Modifiable lifestyle factors such as physical inactivity and eating out are responsible for the increased prevalence of obesity and related health risks. To examine physical activity level and weight status among Saudi children in relation to age and gender. In a cross-sectional study, 200 apparently healthy Saudi children (118 boys and 82 girls), aged 5–15 years, were enrolled from the Pediatric clinics at King Abdulaziz University Hospital, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. To determine physical activity level, the International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form-A was used. Anthropometric measurements were taken for all participants. Central obesity was highly prevalent among adolescents as compared with a higher prevalence of general obesity in children. Physical activity level was significantly higher among adolescent boys than adolescent girls (P<.05). Girls scored almost double the total metabolic equivalent scores. More boys were considered highly active (59% vs. 40%) in contrast with more girls with low physical activity (38% vs. 26%). Among girls, high physical activity score was higher in children than in adolescents (40% vs. 21%) and an increasing number of adolescents were of low physical activity than children (64% vs. 38%). The majority of the study population were spending more than 2 h per day in watching TV and playing electronic games, but a slightly higher number of children showed sedentary behavior than adolescents. Adolescent girls were significantly spending more time watching TV than adolescent boys (P<.01). Significant inverse associations with most anthropometric measures and the time spent in watching TV and doing desk work were demonstrated in both genders. This study reports significant influence, by age and gender, contributing to physical inactivity and weight status among Saudi children.

Close examination of the different healthcare systems and the present economic crisis worldwide suggests that all health organizations should re-evaluate the concept of health promotion and its relationship to cost-effectiveness. When choosing the most efficient and cost-effective system, each nation's healthcare system must seriously start to implement strategies for the change. Health professions, including nursing, must change their vision of education both in academic and practice settings, to focus on health promotion and illness prevention. The key principle underlying this paper is to illustrate the importance of health promotion and cost-effectiveness being adopted by all health organizations worldwide, as well as to observe the experiences of selected counties in developing a health policy related to education in primary healthcare. The paper will include a plan adopted by the General Nursing Directorate (GND) in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (SA), which contains a health promotion policy for the nursing administrations in all governmental primary healthcare centers in Saudi Arabia.

Studies exploring suicide mortality on a global scale are sparse, and most evaluations were limited to certain populations.To assess global, regional and national trends of suicide mortality.Suicide mortality data for the period 2000-2019 were obtained from the mortality database of the World Health Organization and the Global Burden of Disease Study. Age-standardized rates (ASRs; expressed per 100000) were presented. To assess trends of suicide mortality, joinpoint regression analysis was used: The average annual percent change (AAPC) with the corresponding 95% confidence interval (95%CI) was calculated.A total of 759028 (523883 male and 235145 female) suicide deaths were reported worldwide in 2019. The global ASR of mortality of suicide was 9.0/100000 population in both sexes (12.6 in males vs 5.4 in females). In both sexes, the highest rates were found in the region of Africa (ASR = 11.2), while the lowest rates were reported in Eastern Mediterranean (ASR = 6.4). Globally, from 2000 to 2019, ASRs of mortality of suicide had a decreasing tendency in both sexes together [AAPC = -2.4% per year; 95%CI: (-2.6)-(-2.3)]. The region of the Americas experienced a significant increase in suicide mortality over 2000-2019 unlike other regions that had a declining trend. Out of all 133 countries with a decline in suicide mortality, Barbados (AAPC = -10.0%), Grenada (AAPC = -8.5%), Serbia (AAPC = -7.6%), and Venezuela (AAPC = -6.2%) showed the most marked reduction in mortality rates. Out of all 26 countries with a rise in suicide mortality, Lesotho (AAPC = +6.0%), Cyprus (AAPC = +5.1%), Paraguay (AAPC = +3.0%), Saudi Arabia (AAPC = +2.8%), Brunei (AAPC = +2.6%), Greece (AAPC = +2.6%), Georgia (AAPC = +2.1%), and Mexico (AAPC = +2.0%), are among those with the highest increase in mortality.Decreasing trends in suicide mortality were observed in most countries across the world. Unfortunately, the mortality of suicide showed an increasing trend in a number of populations. Further research should explore the reasons for these unfavorable trends, in order to consider and recommend more efforts for suicide prevention in these countries.

Abstract Objective Smoking and tobacco use is a growing public health problem, with often begins in adolescence. This study aims to estimate the prevalence of smoking behavior and the associated determinants among adolescents. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted using a self-administered questionnaire with 453 male adolescent students in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia. Descriptive and binary logistic regression analyses were performed to aggregate the findings and examine associations. Results The prevalence of smoking was 24.3% among adolescents. The main predictors of smoking behavior were found to be age (OR = 1.6; 95% CI: 1.3–2.0; p < 0.001), studying in private schools (OR = 1.4; 95% CI: 1.2–1.5; p < 0.001), having friends who smoke (OR = 13.9; 95% CI: 6.6–29.9; p < 0.001), smoking parent (OR = 18.1; 95% CI: 8.8–37.1; p < 0.001), perceived poor health (OR = 2.9; 95% CI: 1.9–3.9; p = 0.041) and perceived dissatisfaction with life (OR = 4.1; 95% CI: 1.33–13.3; p = 0.017). Smokers were more likely to believe that it is difficult to quit smoking (OR = 3.0; 95% CI: 1.6–5.5; p < 0.001). The top reasons for smoking were having smoker friends (78.2%), family neglect (45.5%), having smoker parents (41.8%), family problems (37.3%), enjoyment, and having smoker relatives. Conclusion This study concluded that a considerable proportion of adolescents are smokers. Adolescents with a smoking habit report poorer health and lower life satisfaction than non-smokers. Several personal and social factors were identified as important determinants for smoking.

This study aims to determine the level of fear of coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) among the general public in Saudi Arabia and the association of its scores with their level of health literacy.A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among the general population in Saudi Arabia from April 2020 to May 2020. A three-part online self-reported survey was used to assess the participants' demographic characteristics, fear of COVID-19 of the participants, and levels of health literacy.Of the 848 participants, 56.8% were in the age group of 25-34, 45.6% were females, and 57.1% had a bachelor's degree. The total mean score of the fear of COVID-19 scale of the participants was FCoV-19: mean ± SD = 19.60 ± 7.33 and the health literacy was HL index: mean ± SD = 27.57 ± 11.05. There was a significant difference in the scores of fear of COVID-19 scale in terms of age (F = 2.442, p = 0.050), representing that those aged 45 and above had higher mean fear scores than the younger participants. The analysis revealed that an increased level of fear of COVID-19 was associated with older age (B = 1.87; p = 0.020), being unemployed (B = 0.76; p = 0.023), with no formal education (B = 0.89; p = 0.001), and low level of health literacy (B = 0.02; p = 0.021).The study shows an above-average level of fear of COVID-19 of the general public in Saudi Arabia and its association with a low level of functional health literacy. Timely and comprehensive health interventions should be promoted to enhance the level of health literacy and further reduce the level of fear of COVID-19 in the community.

Background: This study is an original contribution to the gender-based perspective of measuring knowledge and practice towards COVID-19 among the Saudi population. Objective: This study investigates the existing knowledge of COVID-19 among both genders and its likely use in practice to combat COVID-19. Design and Setting: Cross-sectional study with an online survey and data collected from all the five regions of Saudi Arabia. Participants and Methods: A structured, self-reported validated questionnaire was developed based on the World Health Organization (WHO) general public advice towards COVID-19 prevention. This study has employed snow-ball sampling technique. Sample Size: 627 participants (Male n=343, 54.7%) and (Females n=284, 45.3%). Results: This study has found that women not only carry better knowledge, but their practicing behavior is far better than the male respondents. Females practiced their knowledge of hands hygiene more in comparison to males (86% vs. 80 %, p >0.05). Female respondents were also practicing more about sneezing/coughing into their elbows as compared to males (79% vs. 71%, p < 0.05). Likewise, the practice of knowledge of staying at home to prevent infection (females 98.2% vs males 95.5%, p > 0.05), and (females 83.2% vs. males 81.5%, p > 0.05), respectively. Conclusion: This study shows that women were more compliant with the WHO public health COVID-19 prevention advice than men, which can decrease the chances of COVID-19 infection.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a global public health issue, with Asia accounting for one of the highest CKD prevalence worldwide. This study examines the burden of CKD in Asian continent in the last three decades.The estimates of age, sex and year wise burden of CKD for 49 countries in Asia for 1990 to 2019 were procured from the Global Burden of Disease 2019 study.In 2019, there were 9.8 million [9.0-10.6 million] new cases and 763 024 [696 050-823 829] deaths due to CKD in Asia. Between 1990 and 2019, CKD prevalence doubled from 202.4 million [186.5-219.1 million] to 431.2 [400.3-462.0 million]. Although age-standardized incidence rate (ASIR) of CKD increased from 170.6 [156.7-186.2] in 1990 to 206.3 [190.4-223.4] per 100 000 person-years in 2019, the age-standardized mortality rate (ASMR) witnessed a modest reduction from 18.4/100 000 [17.0-20.1] to 17.3/100 000 [15.7-18.7]. In 2019, the ASIR spanned from 141.9/100 000 [126.2-159.2] in Tajikistan to 561.4/100 000 [524.6-598.6] in Saudi Arabia, and ASMR varied from 8.9/100 000 [7.2-9.8] in Japan to Saudi Arabia (52.9 [42.8-63.1]). Between 1990 and 2019, absolute count of CKD incident cases, deaths, prevalent cases and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) increased 100% or more in 48/49, 32/49, 43/49 and 23/49 countries, respectively.CKD is widespread in the Asian region, with an alarming burden in resource-constrained countries. Strategies such as promoting awareness, screening among high-risk individuals, provision of cost-effective therapies, and increased healthcare coverage could help deal with the CKD epidemic in Asia.

This study examined Hajj pilgrims' knowledge and reported practice of hand hygiene. In Hajj 2019, a cross-sectional survey was undertaken in Mina, Makkah, Saudi Arabia, of domestic Saudi pilgrims aged ≥18 years by using a self-administered Arabic questionnaire that captured data on pilgrims' socio-demographics, hand hygiene knowledge, and reported practices of hand cleaning following certain actions. A total of 348 respondents aged 18 to 63 (median 32) years completed the survey, of whom 200 (57.5%) were female. The mean (±standard deviation (SD)) hand hygiene knowledge score was 6.7 (±SD 1.9). Two hundred and seventy one (77.9%) and 286 (82.2%) of respondents correctly identified that hand hygiene can prevent respiratory and gastrointestinal infections respectively, but 146 (42%) were not aware that it prevents hand-foot-mouth disease. Eighty-eight (25.3%) respondents erroneously reported that hand hygiene prevents HIV. Washing hands with water and soap was the most preferred method practiced before a meal (67.5% (235/348)), after a meal (80.2% (279/348)), after toilet action (81.6% (284/348)), when hands were visibly soiled (86.2% (300/348)), and after waste disposal (61.5% (214/348)). Hajj pilgrims demonstrated a good knowledge and practice of hand hygiene, but there are gaps that are vital to control outbreaks such as COVID-19.

The purpose of this study is to explore the community's perceptions and knowledge of and attitudes toward Primary Healthcare Centers (PHCs) and Primary Healthcare Providers (PHPs) and the PHCs' services in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia, and to discover some of the reasons behind not attending the PHCs as the first choice to address a medical issue.A cross-sectional study was done in Dammam and Al-Khobar cities, Saudi Arabia. 382 Saudi subjects were surveyed. Data was collected via a digital mobile-based survey and entered by the data collectors. SPSS version 25 was used to analyze the data.Only 54% of the study population agreed to attend the PHCs as their first choice to address a medical issue. 72.3% of the respondents deemed the Emergency Department (ED) as a more important healthcare provider than a PHC.Acceptable perceptions, knowledge, and attitudes about PHCs and its services were noticed among the Saudi community in general. Public awareness campaigns are recommended to optimize full utilization of the PHCs' services.

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the biggest threats to global public health. Selection of resistant bacteria is driven by inappropriate use of antibiotics, amongst other factors. COVID-19 may have exacerbated AMR due to unnecessary antibiotic prescribing. Country-level knowledge is needed to understand options for action.To review AMR in Saudi Arabia and initiatives addressing it. Identifying areas where more information is required will provide a call to action to minimize a further rise in AMR within Saudi Arabia and improve patient outcomes.National AMR initiatives, antibiotic use and prescribing, and availability of susceptibility data, particularly for the key community-acquired respiratory tract infection (CA-RTI) pathogens Streptococcus pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenzae, were identified. National and international antibiotic prescribing guidelines commonly used locally for specific CA-RTIs (community-acquired pneumonia, acute otitis media and acute bacterial rhinosinusitis) were also reviewed, plus local antibiotic availability. Insights from a clinician in Saudi Arabia were sought to contextualize this information.Various initiatives are underway in Saudi Arabia, including a National Action Plan for AMR, which was published in 2017. However, AMR is rising and knowledge about appropriate antibiotic use seems to be lacking among physicians and the general public. Various international guidelines are utilized by clinicians in Saudi Arabia, but a more standardized inclusive approach in developing local guidelines, using up-to-date surveillance data of isolates from community-acquired infections in Saudi Arabia could make management guideline use more locally relevant for clinicians. This would pave the way for a higher level of appropriate antibiotic prescribing and improved adherence. This would, in turn, potentially limit AMR development and improve patient outcomes.

Abstract Background In Saudi Arabia, stay-at-home orders to address the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic between March 15 and 23, 2020 and eased on May 28, 2020. We conducted a scoping review to systematically describe physical activity and sedentary behavior in Saudi Arabia associated with the timing of the lockdown. Methods We searched six databases on December 13, 2021 for articles published in English or Arabic from 2018 to the search date. Studies must have reported data from Saudi Arabia for any age and measured physical activity or sedentary behavior. Results Overall, 286 records were found; after excluding duplicates, 209 records were screened, and 19 studies were included in the review. Overall, 15 studies were cross-sectional, and 4 studies were prospective cohorts. Three studies included children and adolescents (age: 2–18 years), and 16 studies included adults (age: 15–99 years). Data collection periods were < = 5 months, with 17 studies collecting data in 2020 only, one study in 2020–2021, and one study in 2021. The median analytic sample size was 363 (interquartile range 262–640). Three studies of children/adolescents collected behaviors online at one time using parental reporting, with one also allowing self-reporting. All three studies found that physical activity was lower during and/or following the lockdown than before the lockdown. Two studies found screen time, television watching, and playing video games were higher during or following the lockdown than before the lockdown. Sixteen adult studies assessed physical activity, with 15 utilizing self-reporting and one using accelerometry. Physical activity, exercise, walking, and park visits were all lower during or following the lockdown than before the lockdown. Six adult studies assessed sedentary behavior using self-report. Sitting time (4 studies) and screen time (2 studies) were higher during or following the lockdown than before the lockdown. Conclusions Among children, adolescents, and adults, studies consistently indicated that in the short-term, physical activity decreased and sedentary behavior increased in conjunction with the movement restrictions. Given the widespread impact of the pandemic on other health behaviors, it would be important to continue tracking behaviors post-lockdown and identify subpopulations that may not have returned to their physical activity and sedentary behavior to pre-pandemic levels to focus on intervention efforts.

Abstract Background The Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is considered a major global public health threat affecting across the life course and socioeconomic aspects of life. Globally acceptance to an effective vaccine is the most anticipated resolution. This study aims to evaluate intent to be vaccinated among public in Saudi Arabia during the second wave of COVID-19 pandemic. Methods A cross-sectional web-based study was designed in Saudi Arabia. Study participants (N=658) were recruited through snowball sampling. SurveyMonkey platform was used to record the response. Cross-tabulation were performed by participants’ intention to vaccinate against COVID-19 virus with sociodemographic characteristics and respondents’ risk perception towards COVID-19, trust in the healthcare system, and their history of vaccine hesitancy behavior. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed to compute the predictors of vaccination intention among the study participants. Results 658 participants were completed the survey (females = 47.4%). Of the 658 participants 351 (53.3%) have shown intent to be vaccinated. 519 (78.8%) of the participants were reported to be at high risk of COVID-19, and 307 (46.6%) were reported to trust the healthcare system in the country. The multivariable analysis shows respondents with a high-risk perception (OR: 2.27, 95% CI: 1.49-3.48); higher trust in the healthcare system (OR: 3.24, 95% CI: 2.32-4.61) was found to be the significant factor affecting the decision in acceptance of the COVID-19 vaccine in Saudi Arabia. Conclusion Participants reported high knowledge towards COVID-19 virus, and vaccine developments. About half (46.6%) of the study participant reported refusal/hesitancy towards the vaccine during the second wave of the pandemic in Saudi Arabia. The study highlighted that higher risk perception and higher trust in the healthcare system were found to be the main reasons for participant’s intentions behind the vaccination.

The aim of this work is to evaluate treatment trends of cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), which is endemic according to the records of the Ministry of Health (MOH) and the World Health Organization (WHO) indicate so.A questionnaire was distributed to dermatologists and general practitioners working at health care centers in different parts of KSA through the Department of Preventive Medicine, Ministry of Health. This questionnaire consisted of 4 categories divided into 10 points covering the patients; demographics, severity of the disease, treatment types and regimen. The response of 107 physicians was included in this study, which covered the period from January-December 2000.The responses of 107 physicians were accepted. Results indicated that there is no consistent method used in treating CL. There were disparities in the type and duration of treatment, in addition there were no differences between treatment of single and multiple lesions.Guidelines for treatment of CL must be drawn and a nationwide policy should be implemented taking into consideration all factors that affect the outcome of treatment, such as the strain and susceptibility of the parasite, the severity of the disease as indicated by the size and number of lesions, as well as the patients characteristics such as age, nationality and immune system status.

Since its discovery in 2012, over 1700 confirmed cases of Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) have been documented worldwide and more than a third of those cases have died. While the greatest number of cases has occurred in Saudi Arabia, the recent export of MERS-coronavirus (MERS-CoV) to Republic of Korea showed that a pandemic is a possibility that cannot be ignored. Due to the deficit of knowledge in transmission methodology, targeted treatment and possible vaccines, understanding this virus should be a priority. Our aim was to combine epidemiological data from literature with genetic information from viruses sequenced around the world to present a phylodynamic picture of MERS spread molecular level to global scale. We performed a qualitative meta-analysis of all laboratory confirmed cases worldwide to date based on literature, with emphasis on international transmission and healthcare associated infections. In parallel, we used publicly available MERS-CoV genomes from GenBank to create a phylogeographic tree, detailing geospatial timeline of viral evolution. Several healthcare associated outbreaks starting with the retrospectively identified hospital outbreak in Jordan to the most recent outbreak in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia have occurred. MERS has also crossed many oceans, entering multiple nations in eight waves between 2012 and 2015. In this paper, the spatiotemporal history of MERS cases, as documented epidemiologically, was examined by Bayesian phylogenetic analysis. Distribution of sequences into geographic clusters and interleaving of MERS-CoV sequences from camels among those isolated from humans indicated that multiple zoonotic introductions occurred in endemic nations. We also report a summary of basic reproduction numbers for MERS-CoV in humans and camels. Together, these analyses can help us identify factors associated with viral evolution and spread as well as establish efficacy of infection control measures. The results are especially pertinent to countries without current MERS-CoV endemic, since their unfamiliarity makes them particularly susceptible to uncontrollable spread of a virus that may be imported by travelers.

Purpose: Physical inactivity in Saudi Arabia is a growing challenge to public health. This study aimed to define the relationship between the physical activity level (PAL) and adult Saudi health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Methods: Participants of this study were 100 Saudi adult aged from 18 - 70 years. The 36-Item Short-Form Health Status Survey (SF-36) was used to measure the participant’s HRQoL. The SF-36 is comprised of 8 domains. The electronic version of the General Practice Physical Activity Questionnaire was used to categorize participants in terms of physical activity level into; inactive, moderately inactive, moderately active, and active. Descriptive and inferential statistical tests were used to treat the collected data. Results: Results showed that only 17% of the Saudi adults had active PAL. The PAL had significantly positive relationship with 4 domains of HRQoL including: physical functioning (P = 0.004), role limitations caused by physical health problems (P = 0.048), vitality (P = 0.009), and general health (P = 0.044). Results also confirmed that the younger the subject, the higher the PAL (P = 0.0001) and the better the HRQoL. This is true for all domains except the role limitations caused by emotional problems and emotional wellbeing. Conclusion: The poor physical activity level of adult Saudi negatively impacts their HRQoL.

More than 2·5 million Muslims from over 160 countries will be going on Hajj—a pilgrimage to Mecca, Saudi Arabia—this year during Nov 25–30. Such a mass gathering, with up to seven people per m2, increases the risk of spreading infectious diseases, particularly the 2009 pandemic influenza A H1N1.In The Lancet today, Ziad Memish and colleagues report several recommendations, based on the current status of this pandemic, for provision of the best health services to pilgrims and to keep disease transmission to a minimum among pilgrims and their contacts at home. These recommendations—which are to be put into practice before and during this year's Hajj—were made after a consultation in Jeddah during June 26–30, 2009, between global agencies at the invitation of the Saudi Arabian Ministry of Health. They are grouped according to screening and isolation; surveillance, epidemiology, and informatics; laboratory testing; infection control; and treatment of the 2009 pandemic influenza A H1N1 infection.The most important recommendation is that people at risk of infection—such as those older than 64 years, children younger than 5 years, pregnant women, and immunosuppressed individuals—should not go on Hajj this year. However, because Hajj is one of the five pillars of Islam and should be done at least once in a Muslim's lifetime, individuals will probably not want to postpone after they have spent much time saving money and planning for this purpose. Some of the other recommendations, such as isolation of pilgrims with influenza-like illness, might not only deter individuals from reporting their illness but will undoubtedly also cause them distress and difficulty reuniting with their companions. Improvement of hand hygiene for infection control might be more acceptable than some of the other recommendations because pilgrims should wash before they pray.These recommendations are a starting point, but they will need to be assessed. Some recommendations might need to be adjusted or discarded as the pandemic develops. However, pandemic influenza A H1N1 alone is understandably unlikely to dissuade many Muslims from going on Hajj.

Establishment of public health security in Saudi Arabia for the 2009 Hajj in response to pandemic influenza A H1N1Mass gatherings of people challenge public health capacities at host locations and the visitors' places of origin. Hajj—the yearly pilgrimage by Muslims to Saudi Arabia—is one of the largest, most culturally and geographically diverse mass gatherings in the world. With the 2009 pandemic influenza A H1N1 and upcoming Hajj, the Saudi Arabian Ministry of Health (MoH) convened a preparedness consultation in June, 2009. Consultants from global public health agencies met in their official capacities with their Saudi Arabian counterparts. Full-Text PDF

Since May 20, 2015, when the first case of Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) in South Korea was confirmed, the cluster case in South Korea has grown to become the largest observed case following Saudi Arabia within the span of one month. Akin to what was observed in the Middle East, confirmed cases were infected through nosocomial transmission where the cluster is largely limited to patients, healthcare workers, and visitors to patients in healthcare facilities with confirmed cases. A major difference from the outbreaks in the Arabian Peninsula has been the large number of tertiary transmission cases in South Korea, which had reached forty cases by June 12. This observation may suggest that despite the lack of genetic mutation of Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) in South Korea, the virus may be behaving differently from that of the Middle East. The higher infectiousness of 'super-spreaders' in South Korea also suggests that this assertion should be under further investigation. Suggestions of inadequate triage in emergency rooms, particularly at Samsung Medical Center which accounts for the most nosocomial infection with 60 cases, have been made by several organizations as the basis for this rapid spread. This, however, does not account for the fact that triage was impossible to implement, since the presence of MERS-CoV in South Korea was unknown during the index patient's stay at the healthcare facilities. This paper aims to identify the key factors in the amplified spread of MERS-CoV in South Korea. The first is the initial failure to confirm diagnosis promptly and to isolate the index case after confirmation of MERS in hospital and the lack of detail in tracking potential exposures in the community of the index case before isolation. The second is the early inadequate measures the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention took in categorizing close contacts. Due to inconsistencies in defining what constitutes close contact, a number of cases were neglected from quarantine and were not subjected to investigation. Finally, confirmed or potential MERS patients were admitted for treatment and observation at medical facilities without adequate disease control measures or rooms, such as ventilated single rooms or airborne precaution rooms. Due to the rigid position that MERS-CoV cannot be transmitted via airborne means, infection control measures has so far neglected evidence that smaller droplets (aerosol) containing the virus can act similar to airborne agents, which may account for the widespread and rapid transmission in a emergency room and a patient's room in hospital. Although the South Korean government expects newly confirmed cases to abate in the coming few weeks, without stringent implementation of clearly defined guidelines to control further transmissions, the cessation of the current trend may continue for an extended period. Additionally, due to the high infection rate of super-spreaders in South Korea, efforts to screen for potential super-spreaders and a thorough investigation of those confirmed to be super-spreaders should be done to quickly identify source of infection, to potentially lower the number of secondary, tertiary transmissions and prevent possible quaternary transmissions.

Over the period 2016-2030, Saudi Arabia seeks to increase life expectancy at birth by 6 years.The main aim was to analyse the feasibility of this gain using the demographic literature.The demographic literature on recorded high gains in life expectancy and the determinants of these gains were reviewed. The findings were examined considering the Saudi Arabian context.Explanations covered demographic and behavioural factors, inequalities, health care delivery system, public health provision, health-related policies and advancements in science and technology. However, the crucial factor is the country's position in the "cardiovascular revolution" (which combines smoking prevalence, obesity, lifestyle and related policies).In countries where life expectancy is in the 70s, average yearly gains are less than 0.31 years, much lower that the Saudi Arabian target of 0.43 years. For Saudi Arabia, an average yearly gain of about half this is achievable provided the fundamental drivers of life expectancy are addressed.ما مدى إمكانية تحقيق الهدف المتعلق بزيادة العمر المتوقع في رؤية المملكة العربية السعودية لعام 2030؟.سليمان باه.تسعى المملكة العربية السعودية، خلال الفترة 2016-2030 ، إلى زيادة معدل العمر المتوقع عند الميلاد بمقدار ست سنوات.تمثل الهدف الأساسي في تحليل إمكانية تحقيق هذا المكسب باستخدام الدراسات السكانية السابقة.سجلت الدراسات السكانية السابقة مكاسب عالية تتعلق بزيادة معدل العمر المتوقع، واستعرضت الدراسة الحالية محددات هذه المكاسب كما تم استعراض النتائج بمراعاة سياق المملكة العربية السعودية.تناولت الشروح العوامل السكانية والسلوكية وأوجه عدم المساواة ونظام تقديم الرعاية الصحية وتوفير خدمات الصحة العامة والسياسات والتطورات الصحية في العلوم والتكنولوجيا. إلا أن أحد العوامل الحاسمة يتمثل في موقف البلد من “الثورة القلبية الوعائية” (التي تجمع بين مستوى انتشار التدخين والبدانة ونمط الحياة والسياسات ذات الصلة).في البلدان التي يصل فيها معدل العمر المتوقع إلى السبعينات، يبلغ متوسط المكاسب السنوية أقل من 0.31 سنة، وهو ما يقل بكثير عن هدف المملكة المتمثل في الوصول إلى 0.43 سنة. وبالنسبة للمملكة، يمكن تحقيق مكسب سنوي متوسط بمقدار نحو نصف هذا المعدل شريطة التصدي للمحركات الأساسية لمعدل العمر المتوقع.Dans quelle mesure la cible relative à l’espérance de vie du plan Vision 2030 de l’Arabie saoudite est-elle réalisable?L’Arabie saoudite prévoit une augmentation de l’espérance de vie à la naissance de 6 ans sur la période 2016- 2030.L’objectif principal était d’analyser la faisabilité de ce gain en utilisant la littérature démographique.La littérature démographique a recensé les gains élevés en termes d’espérance de vie, et les déterminants de ces gains ont été évalués. Les résultats sont examinés via le prisme du contexte saoudien.Les explications qui en découlent couvraient les facteurs démographiques et comportementaux, les inégalités, le système de prestations de soins de santé, la fourniture de services de santé publique, les politiques liées à la santé et les avancées dans les domaines de la science et de la technologie. Cependant, le facteur crucial est la position du pays au sein de la « révolution cardio-vasculaire » (qui combine une réduction de la prévalence du tabagisme et de l’obésité, des changements dans le mode de vie et des politiques y afférentes).Dans les pays où l’espérance de vie se situe entre 70 et 79 ans, les gains annuels moyens sont de moins de 0,31 année, soit beaucoup plus bas que la cible de 0,43 année fixée par l’Arabie saoudite. Pour l’Arabie saoudite, un gain annuel moyen équivalant à environ la moitié de ces chiffres est réalisable, si les facteurs fondamentaux contribuant à l’augmentation de l’espérance de vie sont réunis.

Abstract Introduction In Saudi Arabia, sexual and reproductive health education is not offered in any formal setting, and there is a significant lack of knowledge amongst Saudi women. This study aimed to explore barriers to Saudi women’s sexual and reproductive wellbeing. Methods The study employed qualitative methods using semi-structured interviews with women in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia in 2019. The data were analysed using thematic analysis. Results Twenty-eight women were interviewed. Sexual and reproductive wellbeing is a complex matter affected by personal, familial, environmental, socio-cultural, religious, and institutional factors. Being unmarried is a significant barrier to accessing sexual and reproductive information and services, with ignorance signifying modesty and purity. Parental control acted as a barrier to acquiring knowledge and accessing essential healthcare services. Schools contribute to lack of awareness, with teachers omitting sexual and reproductive health-related subjects and evading answering questions. Conclusions There are multiple factors that restrict Saudi women’s access to sexual and reproductive health information and services, impacting their overall wellbeing. Research and policy efforts should be directed towards overcoming the complex barriers to Saudi women’s sexual and reproductive wellbeing. Public health initiatives are needed to improve youth, parents, and teacher’s knowledge, and improve public perceptions towards sexual and reproductive health education.

### Summary box
Driven by the prolonged internal conflict, external aggression, economic decline and scarcity of resources, Yemen faces the world’s worst humanitarian crisis.1 The ongoing violence has played a fundamental role in shaping this humanitarian crisis. However, violence alone cannot account for the extent of suffering across the country and the collapse of the health system; other factors need to be considered with the aim of drawing strategies to respond to the present and future health and humanitarian needs.
Half a decade of relentless hostilities between state and non-state actors, backed by regional and international powers, have devastated the lives of millions of Yemenis and put the country on the brink of total collapse. The civil war ignited in March 2015, when a coalition of states led by Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE), with support from the USA, intervened to restore the interim president Abdrabbuh Mansur Hadi to power. Today, a complex web of ‘proxy relationships’ fuel this war—from the UAE’s support of separatists in the south, to Saudi Arabia’s support for …

Saudi Arabia has a high prevalence of obesity, which increases the risk of individuals experiencing multiple chronic complications. Only a few publications highlight the healthcare costs of obesity-related complications (ORCs) in Saudi Arabia. A micro-costing approach was used to estimate the healthcare costs associated with 10 ORCs. Experienced clinicians in public and private practice across different geographical regions in Saudi Arabia were asked to estimate healthcare resource use associated with each ORC, and estimated unit costs were obtained from hospital administrators. Estimated overall annual costs per patient were calculated as a weighted average of separate public and private sector costs. Individuals in Saudi Arabia with any single ORC incurred overall average annual healthcare costs of 2165–7558 US dollars (USD). Heart failure, chronic kidney disease, dyslipidemia, and type 2 diabetes (T2D) were the most costly complications, mainly driven by monitoring and/or pharmacological treatment costs. In contrast, asthma, hypertension, and angina were the least costly complications. Costs in private healthcare were higher than in public healthcare; the largest differences (2359–2793 USD) were noted for dyslipidemia, T2D, and osteoarthritis, mainly explained by differences in pharmacological treatment costs. These data suggest that ORCs result in a considerable financial burden to the healthcare system, and highlight the substantial cost savings that could be achieved by preventing or delaying the occurrence of ORCs in Saudi Arabia.

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused a major public health problem around the world. Therefore, the aim of the study was to assess the awareness and prevalence of General Anxiety Disorder (GAD) with regard to COVID-19 among the Hail community, in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, in order to help health authorities to effectively control the pandemic.A cross-sectional online survey was completed by 412 participants living in Hail, Saudi Arabia. The questionnaire assessed demographic characteristics, knowledge, attitudes, and practices for the prevention of COVID-19, as well as psychological feelings in terms of GAD as an impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.The study found that most of the respondents demonstrated good knowledge, attitudes, and practice for COVID-19 prevention. The elderly and employed demonstrated significant positive attitudes and practices (p < 0.05). Participants with a positive attitude were almost two and a half times (OR = 2.4; 95% CI: 1.54-3.99) more likely to have good practices. Additionally, the rural respondents were less likely (OR = 0.45; 95% CI: 0.21-0.96) to have a positive attitude. Married participants were more than one and a half (OR = 1.60; 95% CI: 1.04-2.44) times more likely to have a positive attitude. The prevalence of GAD was 21.8% and was significantly increased among participants with inadequate knowledge (OR = 2.01; 95% CI: 1.25-3.22), females (OR = 1.92; 95% CI: 1.19-3.09), individuals with chronic diseases (OR = 1.71; 95% CI: 1.02-2.86), and non-Saudi participants (OR = 2.44; 95% CI: 1.02-5.85).Ensuring a sufficient combination of relatively good levels of knowledge, positive attitudes, and desired practices serves as a good approach to preventing the spread of COVID-19. However, the increased prevalence of GAD requires the attention of policymakers. Therefore, a great emphasis should be placed on health awareness campaigns, with a focus on misconceptions and the provision of counseling.

Vaccination against COVID-19 is the key to controlling the pandemic. Parents are the decision makers in the case of children vaccination as they are responsible for them. This study aims to investigate the acceptability of COVID-19 vaccination for children among parents in Saudi Arabia.This cross-sectional study used an online self-administered questionnaire. A 35-items questionnaire was distributed via social media platforms between June 6 and July 9-2021. Descriptive statistics were used to describe the participants' characteristics. Categorical variables were reported as frequencies and percentages. Predictors of vaccination acceptance were identified using binary logistic regression.A total of 581 parents were involved in this study. A majority of parents 63.9% reported that they will vaccinate their children if the vaccine becomes available. Around 40% of them confirmed that they want their child to be among the first to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. Nearly a quarter, 23.9%, reported that they will vaccinate their child against influenza this year. The most commonly reported reason for hesitancy was poor awareness about the vaccine's effectiveness on children. Adequate information about the COVID-19 vaccine was the most agreed cause to accept the vaccine. Having five or more children was a significant predictor for poor vaccination acceptance (OR: 0.42 (95%CI: 0.21-0.86), p < .05).An appropriate proportion of parents are willing to vaccinate their children if the vaccine becomes available for children in Saudi Arabia. Public health awareness must be raised to gain public trust in the vaccination and the healthcare system.

Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are increasingly becoming one of the most important health challenges , especially among women, as they bear long-term consequences such as infertility and cervical cancer owing to STIs. This study aimed to assess the knowledge and misconceptions of Saudi women about STIs.A descriptive study was conducted among adult women attending the dermatology clinic at King Saud University Medical City, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, for reasons other than STIs. They were randomly approached and asked to complete an anonymous prevalidated questionnaire. Uneducated females were guided by an interviewer during the filling up of the survey questionnaire. Of 1150 women approached, 843 adult Saudi women responded to the survey (response rate: 73.3%).The mean age was 30.6±10.9 years. Knowledge of STIs was highest for HIV (85.9%) and lowest for genital warts (17.0%). Respondents believed that genital pruritus, foul discharge, and painful micturition are symptoms of STIs (71.1, 69.1, and 56.4%, respectively). A considerable percentage believed that STIs are transmitted by masturbation (54.8%), sleeping on contaminated beds (39.3%), and by eating and drinking from contaminated utensils (26.3%) whereas 8% believed that STIs are transmitted by shaking hands. Nearly two-thirds of women thought that condoms protect against STIs. Knowledge on the modes of transmission and symptoms of STIs was significantly correlated with younger age, higher level of education, and higher monthly income.Despite the huge campaigns and information about STIs seen on the internet and television by these women, there is still scarcity of knowledge on the more important aspects of STIs, especially the recognition of clinical features and modes of transmission/spread of STIs. There is still a need for health authorities to intensify information-dissemination campaigns about STIs to the grassroots level, particularly among women in Saudi Arabia.

Abstract Aim To compare patients’ assessment of quality of care provided by public tertiary hospitals grouped according to accreditation status. Background Healthcare institutions worldwide are increasingly adopting accreditation as continuing initiative aimed at improving structures, processes and outcomes associated with quality of care. Patients being recipients of health care need to participate in assessing the quality of care they experienced while confined for therapeutic management. Design Comparative, cross‐sectional. Method Data were collected from patients confined in public tertiary hospitals ( n = 517 in four with accreditation and n = 542 in four without accreditation) in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia between February 2011–June 2011. Patients rated key performance indicators grouped under the dimensions of structure, process and outcome. Mann–Whitney U ‐test, Spearman Correlation Coefficient and coefficient of determination were used in analysing data. Results Patients in accredited public tertiary hospitals perceived structure, outcome and overall quality of care statistically higher than patients in non‐accredited hospitals. No statistical differences were found in process (access and communication) indicators. Accreditation status is marginally associated with structure; outcome; and overall quality of care. The proportion of variance in the ranks of accreditation status explained the proportion of variance in the ranks of structure; outcome; and overall quality of care. Conclusion The results apparently showed better structure, outcome and overall quality of care in accredited hospitals. Accreditation's association in the overall quality of care apparently remained unclear. Further studies are needed to appreciate the contribution of accreditation.

Adolescence is considered to be a pivotal point in which optimum nutrition and eating habits are developed. Although tackling the obesity epidemic has been much discussed, addressing the issue of underweight and body image is often neglected. This study was carried out to get a better understanding of underweight status among adolescents in Saudi Arabia, and exploring self-perceptions of body image and weight loss measures among underweight adolescents.Data from Jeeluna®, a national cross-sectional school-based survey were utilized. Jeeluna® assessed the health status and health-risk behaviors of adolescents in school through data obtained by a self-administered questionnaire, anthropologic measurements, and laboratory investigations.A total of 12,463 adolescents participated. Eighteen percent of adolescent males and 12.4% of females were found to be underweight, representing 14.9% of adolescents collectively. Forty-five percent of underweight participants were happy with their weight. Underweight females between the age group of 10 and 14 years were the most likely to believe that they still need to lose weight (16.0%) followed by females aged 15-19 years (9.7%). Underweight females aged 10-14 years were also the group most likely to engage in purging (1.6%). Stepwise logistic regression found that the strongest association with being underweight was with having a lower household income (OR 2.0, CI 1.5-2.7) and having more than 5 siblings (OR 1.8, CI 1.5-2.3).Underweight status is prevalent among adolescents in Saudi Arabia and deserves more attention as a public health issue. Distorted body image and disordered eating behaviors exist, necessitating further investigation of underlying causes.

Tobacco smoking remains a major preventable cause of mortality and morbidity across the globe. People who attempt to quit smoking often experience episodes of relapse before finally quitting. Understanding the part that social networking sites and social media can play in smoking cessation and prevention of relapse is important to aid the development of novel techniques to curb the smoking epidemic. This study investigated the use of extra-treatment provided outside of the formal healthcare setting, bolstered by online social support in order to prevent smoking relapse in Saudi Arabia. This cross-sectional study included 473 smokers taking part in smoking cessation intervention programs run by the Riyadh branch of King Abdul-Aziz Medical City and PURITY, a Saudi anti-smoking association. Only subjects who expressed an interest in quitting smoking, and those attempting to quit, were considered for inclusion. The sample was divided into three groups: subjects who subscribed to support groups on Twitter (n = 150), and WhatsApp (n = 150), and a control group of subjects who had not subscribed to any social media support groups (n = 173). A significant difference was found between the mean average numbers of people who quit smoking among the three groups, with social media support proving to be more effective than other traditional methods. Our findings imply that Twitter and WhatsApp users found it easier to quit smoking than those who did not take part in these social media groups. Social media provides a good platform to discuss smoking cessation treatment, and thus reduce smoking relapses. Our findings support the suggestion that more social media support groups should be developed to help people to effectively cease smoking after abstinence. Individuals who struggle to quit smoking should be encouraged to join support groups on their social media platform of choice to increase their likelihood of quitting. Future studies should assess the effectiveness of social media to help people quit smoking by including a greater diversity of social media platforms, including Facebook, Snapchat, and Instagram.

In January 2020, the WHO declared the novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) outbreak as a public health emergency of international concern. Due to the rapid spread of 2019-nCoV, all countries started preventive and precautionary measures to prevent COVID-19 infection spread. These measures limited the population mobility and services provided, which subsequently Impact of on children with cancer and cancer care delivery in the many health centers in Saudi Arabia. We did a cross-sectional study to assess the impact of this outbreak on children with cancer concerning all aspects of life including medical services provided, the specific precautions to prevent spread in cancer patients, mental, psychological effects, and its effect on the quality of life. We collected 204 responses during a survey that assessed the impact on the treatment of cancer children at a tertiary institution during the COVID-19 pandemic. The majority of patients were receiving ongoing chemotherapy for leukemia/lymphoma. The majority of these patients (60.5%) reported a delay in treatment received due to hospital cancellation of appointments due to the pandemic. Although the majority of patients in our cohort complained of delayed treatment, fortunately, none of the delays led to fatalities. In the context of global lockdowns and physical distancing to help flatten the COVID-19 curve, telemedicine has proved fundamental to keeping patients and their healthcare providers connected and safe. Children also faced multiple other difficulties such as psychosocial issues during the COVID-19 pandemic. Our long-term goals are to develop new programs that will enable children with cancer to emerge successfully during a pandemic.

Purpose: Physical activity provides a wide range of benefits. Several studies conducted in various countries have examined factors influencing participation in physical activities in children with Down syndrome. This study aimed to explore factors affecting participation in physical activities in Saudi children with DS, from their mothers’ perspectives.Materials and methods: In-depth interviews were conducted with 36 mothers of children with Down syndrome to explore facilitators of and barriers to their children’s participation in physical activities. All audio recordings were transcribed, validated, reviewed by the authors independently, and organized into themes.Results: Transcript analysis resulted in four facilitators (mother’s support and siblings’ involvement, involvement of peers, type of physical activity experience, and child’s physical ability, behavioral, and psychological status), and six barriers (conditions associated with Down syndrome, family responsibility, social barriers, environmental constraints, electronic devices, and mother’s personal psychological barriers).Conclusions: The results regarding perceived barriers indicated a need to develop and implement programs involving family consultation. Environmental modifications should be made to accommodate the needs of children with Down syndrome. A well-organized partnership should be established and activated between private investors and the Ministries of Education, Social Affairs, and Health, to support the promotion of physical activity.Implications for rehabilitationThe efficacy of home- and Internet-based programs for Saudi children with Down syndrome (DS) should be evaluated.Cultural and climactic conditions in Saudi Arabia suggest the need for environmental modifications to help children with DS engage in physical activity.Well-organized partnerships between private investors and the Ministries of Education, Social Affairs, and Health may be required to achieve higher participation of children with DS.Planning and designing of strategies, policies, facilities, and programs are required to increase engagement in physical activity and maximize the benefits of participation of children with DS.

The quality and quantity of health care services delivered by the Malawi public health system is severely limited, due to, among other things the shortage of adequate numbers of trained health care workers. In order to suggest policy changes and implement corrective measures, there may be need to describe the perceptions of the legislature on how they perceive as the cause of the problem, which could be the solutions and an evaluation of those solution. In this paper, I present the finding from a qualitative study of Hansards (official verbatim record of parliamentary speeches) analysed by discourse analysis. Parliamentarians identified the shortage of health workers as resulting from death, retirement and brain drain to other countries mostly the UK, Saudi Arabia and South Africa. Training more health workers, training new but lower cadres of health workers not marketable to the outside world, improving the working conditions and remuneration of health workers are suggested as some of the solutions. Even without the brain drain of health workers to other countries, Malawi\'s health sector personnel numbers are not adequate to serve the needs of the country. Relying on training more health workers in the numbers normally produced from the prevailing training institutions is unlikely to remove the shortages.

Objective More than half of the world's population live in areas with a potential risk of acquiring dengue fever (DF). Health education interventions are effective, barring a language communication gap. The objective of this study was to estimate the effect of health education in the knowledge, attitude, and practices (KAP) towards DF control and prevention in public and private schools. Materials and methods We assessed the DF control and prevention strategy KAP of students of eight public and private schools in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia before the dengue health education intervention sessions (pre-I) and three months following the education intervention sessions (post-I) using the same closed-ended validated questionnaire. Schools and students were selected by a multistage stratified random sample method. Statistical analysis was done using the paired and independent T-test in IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, Version 22.0 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY). Results We found a significant mean difference in the overall knowledge (pre-I, 7.86 ± 2.61; post-I, 10.94 ± 2.35), attitude (pre-I, 5.16 ± 1.50; post-I 6.23 ± 1.30), and practice (pre-I, 2.96 ± 1.33; post-I, 3.94 ± 1.12) scores. Private schools scored better post-intervention scores in knowledge and practice compared to public schools in local and English language medium. Conclusions Health education programs are essential for DF prevention and management. Institutes whose populations consists of students with various language backgrounds should not be ignored. Bilingual educational sessions are important in such private institutes. Our results indicate additional emphasis is required on putting interventional knowledge into practice.

Clinical trials (CTs) are considered an important method for developing new treatments and providing access to potentially effective drugs that are still under investigation. Measuring the public's knowledge of and attitudes toward CTs is important for assessing their readiness for and acceptance of human drug testing, which has previously not been assessed in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). The objective of this study is to explore the Saudi public's knowledge of and attitudes toward CTs as well as participation in trials to test new or approved drugs.Cross-sectional.The 2016 Al Jenadriyah cultural/heritage festival in Riyadh, KSA.Participating booths and exhibition halls, as well as festival visitors, were approached to participate in the study.Knowledge of and attitudes toward CTs.The final number of participants was 938. The responses were converted to a percentage mean score (out of 100) for each knowledge-related response and attitude. The total mean knowledge score was 56.8±24.8 and the attitude-related score was 61.5±28.0. Although most of the participants supported testing approved or off-label and new drugs on adult and paediatric patients, only a third (30.5%) agreed that new drugs could be tested on healthy volunteers. The results indicated that gender, educational level, income, medical background, age and health insurance were independently associated with the level of knowledge of CTs. In terms of attitudes toward CTs, the factors that were independently associated were gender, educational level and medical background.The Saudi public has a low level of knowledge and a moderately positive attitude toward CTs. There is a moderate positive correlation between the two factors such that as knowledge of CTs increases, the Saudi public will hold more positive attitudes toward CTs.

In May 2014, Public Health England was alerted to two separate laboratory-confirmed cases of Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) infection who transited through London Heathrow Airport while symptomatic on flights from Saudi Arabia to the United States of America. We present the rationale for the public health response to both incidents, and report results of contact tracing. Following a risk assessment, passengers seated two seats around the cases were prioritised for contact tracing and a proactive media approach was used to alert all passengers on the planes of their possible exposure in both incidents. In total, 64 United Kingdom (UK) residents were successfully contacted, 14 of whom were sat in the priority area two seats all around the case(s). Five passengers reported respiratory symptoms within 14 days of the flight, but all tested were negative for MERS-CoV. Details of non-UK residents were passed on to relevant World Health Organization International Health Regulation focal points for follow-up, and no further cases were reported back. Different approaches were used to manage contact tracing for each flight due to variations in the quality and timeliness of the passenger contact information provided by the airlines involved. No evidence of symptomatic onward transmission was found.

Abstract Background Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a major public health problem and represents commonest form of dementia that affects many aspects of brain functions and contributes to 60–70% of dementia cases. No study has been conducted in Saudi Arabia to measure the prevalence of AD. However, approximately there are at least 50,000 patients in Saudi Arabia based on an expert’s estimation . Public knowledge and awareness about Alzheimer’s disease are crucial for early diagnosis and management. Objective To investigate the public’s knowledge and attitudes toward Alzheimer’s disease in Aseer region. Subject and methods Cross-sectional study has employed an electronic online, semi-structured, and self-administered questionnaire, randomly distributed among participants. The questions included sociodemographics, attitudes, and knowledge panels toward Alzheimer’s disease based on Alzheimer’s Disease Knowledge Scale (ADKS). Results The study included 1374 participants with a mean age 33 ± 11 years (ages18–70). The majority of the participants (77%) had no family history with Alzheimer’s disease. Less than 50% of the questions were answered correctly and the mean knowledge score was 10.77 ± 5.11. The results revealed that young-aged participants, females, and those having a family history of the disease, have significantly ( P < 0.05) better AD-related knowledge. Conclusion The study revealed an inadequate AD-related knowledge as indicated by the low mean knowledge score. However, participants have demonstrated a positive attitude toward AD patients. More educational programs are required to enhance their awareness and knowledge about AD.

A case control study was conducted to examine the theorized differences for eating and exercise behaviour among the obese and non-obese women from an urban health center in Saudi Arabia. Perceptions regarding actual and ideal body size were also determined. The obese were significantly more likely to eat under emotional conditions of stress and anger, in secrecy, and indulge in binge eating (P < 0.05). Frequent snacking and drinking of regular soda drinks was also more common in this group compared to the controls (P < 0.05). A weak association was observed for nibbling at food without being aware and preference of sweet foods compared to savoury ones by the obese (P < 0.1). A large group of the study population (75%) were either not exercising at all or doing so infrequently—a feature expected in the middle and lower social class group of women in this region. A sizable proportion of women either overestimated (28.6%) or underestimated (28.9%) their actual body weight with increasing education significantly related to overestimation of weight and vice versa (P < 0.05). A change in the concept of an ideal body image from the overweight female to that of the slim figure was also observed with advancing education. To control and prevent obesity in this region, it is suggested that health education related to an awareness of a healthy body size and appropriate eating and exercise behaviour should be given through primary health centers, other health facilities and schools.

THIS PAPER TAKES A PUBLIC HEALTH APPROACH TO BRIEFLY EXAMINE: (i) the concept of community health care need assessment; (ii) the roles of academic institutions in health needs assessment; (iii) Jazan study to address the health care needs in Jazan region, Saudi Arabia. The methods included an analysis of the literature, distillation of experience from the recently Jazan Health Need Assessment Survey, and WHO reports. The most important perceived health problems in Jazan region are shortage of health care providers, increased prevalence of communicable diseases and poor environmental health. The academic institutions, Ministry of Health and other health care institutions need to work together to look for innovative approaches, especially to increase the awareness of the society on public health issues, and give more support to increase national and regional funding for community based studies.The findings of the assessment of the health needs of Jazan presented in this review could be utilized as a baseline and reference information for policy formulation, subsequent planning and cost effective intervention programs. It could also be utilized for the curriculum development or review for a community oriented medical schools.

OBJECTIVES
To assess physicians views on health insurance and its implication on the health care system.
METHODS
We carried out a cross-sectional study in 2 major hospitals in Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Data were collected from January to December 2002 through self-administered questionnaires that were distributed to a total sample of 400 physicians. The instrument consisted of 28 items that focused on assessing physicians' perception towards health insurance and its effect on health services. We performed a descriptive statistics and analysis of variance using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences.
RESULTS
Overall, 151 physicians (38%) completed the survey. This study clearly shows that access to health care services is a major concern; more than 94% of the respondents agree that everyone in the Kingdom should have access to healthcare services. Respondents also agree that health insurance will improve access to healthcare services for all citizens. Physicians also believed that health insurance would lead to more regulations and utilization review of services, create more competition between healthcare providers, and create new jobs in the healthcare sector. Saudi physicians reported a higher mean score for 11 items with significant p-values as compared with non-Saudi physicians.
CONCLUSIONS
Physicians in this survey believed that accessibility is a major policy concern, and that health insurance will have a positive effect on access to the health care system. Yet, accessibility is an illusive term with many aspects that go beyond the identification of need for health care to the actual delivery of health care services and the organizational structures to match the needs of society. Cooperation as a national health system should be built on collaborative efforts rather than market competition in itself. It has been suggested that markets are stronger in the role of delivery than in the financing of health care, that markets tend to promote more expenditure on technological innovation rather than producing the most desired set of social outcomes. Cooperative health insurance can be an answer to the current problems facing the health care system in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia as long as it remains cooperative rather than competitive.

Background: There is a scarcity of information about the proportion of the adult Saudi population that meet the recommended guidelines of physical activity (PA) to reduce cancer risk. Moreover, their awareness about the role of PA in cancer prevention is unclear. Objectives: This cross-sectional study aimed at estimating the proportion of adult Saudis meeting the PA guidelines, specifically those recommended by American Cancer Society (ACS) for cancer prevention, and to assess the public awareness about the role of PA in cancer prevention. Materials and Methods: Using a multistage sampling method, 2,127 adult Saudis of both genders were recruited from 6 urban and 4 rural primary health care centers in Al Hassa, Saudi Arabia. Participants were personally interviewed to gather information about their sociodemographic characteristics, searching activity about PA and cancer, and the time spent in leisure time PA (moderate and vigorous)/week using the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire with show cards. Finally, items about the role of PA in cancer risk reduction were inquired. Results: Of the included participants, 11.6% met the recommendations for cancer prevention (<TEX>${\geq}45$</TEX> minutes of moderate-vigorous PA activity/<TEX>${\geq}5$</TEX> days/week or 225 minutes/week). Multivariate regression showed that being male (AOR=1.49, CI=1.09-2.06), <20 years of age (AOR=3.11, CI=2.03-4.76), and unemployed (AOR=2.22, CI=1.57-3.18) were significant predictors for meeting PA recommendations for cancer prevention. Only 11.4% of the sample indicated correctly the frequency and duration of PA required for an average adult to be physically active and while >70% of them indicated the role of PA in prevention of hypertension, coronary heart disease and lowering elevated blood cholesterol, only 18.6% and 21.7% correctly mentioned the role of PA in reducing colon and breast cancer risk, respectively. Poor knowledge was found among those with less than college education and aged <TEX>${\geq}50$</TEX> years. The level of knowledge was significantly positively correlated with total leisure time PA of the participants. Conclusions: A minority of adult Saudis in Al Hassa was aware about the role of PA in cancer prevention and engaged in sufficient LTPA for cancer risk reduction benefits, highlighting the need for public health actions to include policies and programs that address factors deterring their participation in LTPA and increasing their awareness with remedies to manage the prevalent misconceptions.

Abstract Background It has been 8 years since the first case of Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) was reported in Saudi Arabia and the disease is still being reported in 27 countries; however, there is no international study to estimate the overall burden related of this emerging infectious disease. The present study was conducted to assess the burden of premature mortality due to Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) worldwide. Methods In this retrospective analysis, we have utilized publicly available data from the WHO website related to 1789 MERS patients reported between September 23, 2012 and May 17, 2019. To calculate the standard expected years of life lost (SEYLL), life expectancy at birth was set according to the 2000 global burden of disease study on levels 25 and 26 of West model life tables from Coale-Demeny at 82.5 and 80 years for females and males, respectively. Results Overall, the total SEYLL in males and females was 10,702 and 3817.5 years, respectively. The MERS patients within the age range of 30–59 year-olds had the highest SEYLL (8305.5 years) in comparison to the patients within the age groups 0–29 (SEYLL = 3744.5 years) and ≥ 60 years (SEYLL = 2466.5 years). The total SEYLL in all age groups in 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019 were 71.5, 2006.5, 3162, 4425.5, 1809.5, 878, 1257.5 and 909 years, respectively. The most SEYLL related to MERS-CoV infection was in the early four years of the onset of the pandemic (2012 to 2015) and in the last four years of the MERS-CoV pandemic (216 to 2019), a significant reduction was observed in the SEYLL related to MERS-CoV infection in the MERS patients. Conclusion We believe that the findings of this study will shed light about the burden of premature mortality due to MERS infection in the world and the results may provide necessary information for policy-makers to prevent, control, and make a quick response to the outbreak of MERS-CoV disease.

Heat-related illnesses (HRIs), mainly heat exhaustion (HE) and heat stroke (HS), are characterized by an elevation of core body temperature. In this study, we aimed to explore the HRIs' types and patient characteristics among a sample taken from various representative in-field points in the Hajj season. A cross-sectional study was conducted in 2018 at 80 data collection points distributed in the field. Data related to demographics, features and risk factors were collected and analyzed from all encountered cases with suspected HRIs. Moreover, we developed a diagnostic tree for HRIs by using the XGBoost model. Out of the 1200 persons encountered during the study period, 231 fulfilled the criteria of HRIs spectrum and were included in this study. Around 6% had HS and 20% had HE. All HS cases (100%) were from outside of Saudi Arabia as compared with 72.5% diagnosed with HE (27.5% were from Saudi Arabia). In addition, 16% were considered as heat-induced muscle spasms, and 7% had limb heat edema. Additionally, most of HRIs cases were reported between 11 am and 1 pm. The HRIs diagnostic tree model gave a diagnostic accuracy of 93.6%. This study highlights the magnitude of HRIs among pilgrims in Hajj and provides a diagnostic tree that can aid in the risk stratification and diagnosis of these patients. We advise the implementation of more educational campaigns to pilgrims regarding preventable measures especially for the vulnerable groups (e.g. from outside Saudi Arabia, those with comorbidities and light-skinned people).

More than two million people have asthma in Saudi Arabia: 13% aged 6–10 years. Asthma is one of the most common childhood illnesses. Little has been explored about children’s ability to learn more about their own asthma in Saudi Arabia. The study was designed to assess the impact of a school-based, nurse-delivered asthma health education program on asthmatic children’s knowledge and attitude toward asthma, quality of life, anxiety level, and school absenteeism. A quasi-experimental, non-equivalent group, pretest–posttest design was used. The education program was developed from existing evidence. The Pediatric Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire, Spence Anxiety Tool, Asthma Knowledge Questionnaire, and Asthma Attitude Questionnaire were employed for data collection. Intervention (n = 130) and control (n = 98) groups were drawn from 10 schools in Ha’il region, Saudi Arabia. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to examine differences within and between groups. Knowledge of asthma increased significantly more in the intervention group than in the control group. Attitude toward asthma was not changed by the intervention. Anxiety scores reverted to pretest level by posttest II. The intervention group had significantly better total quality of life scores than the control group, and school absenteeism reduced significantly after the delivery of the program. It was concluded that the asthma education program impacted positively on students’ knowledge, quality of life, and school attendance. However, asthma education did not change attitudes toward the condition, and the impact on anxiety was not persistent. The results emphasize the benefits of the provision of health education directly to children. Asthma education should be integrated into the Saudi national child health program.

The COVID-19 pandemic has greatly affected the personal and academic lives of undergraduates in Saudi Arabia. Although studies have suggested that COVID-19 increased the prevalence of psychological health problems among undergraduates, the associations between the risk of depression and safety practices and the influence of gender on these associations have not been studied in detail. A cross-sectional online survey was conducted among preparatory-year undergraduates in a large public university in Saudi Arabia during the outbreak. Depressive symptoms were assessed using the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression (CES-D) Scale, and the practice of eight precautionary behaviors was also assessed. Data analysis was performed using the chi-square test, multiple linear regression and Spearman’s correlation coefficient. In total, 3044 undergraduates were surveyed. The mean age was 18.6 years (SD = 0.84), and 61.9% (n = 1883) of the participants were female. Overall, 47.7% of the participants reported having elevated depressive symptoms. Overall mean values of CES-D scores were higher among female undergraduates than that of male undergraduates (18.08 versus 15.56, p < 0.01). There were inverse and weak but significant relationships between the CES-D score and frequent cleaning of hands (male: r = −0.116, p < 0.01; female: r = −0.098, p < 0.01), wearing a mask when going out (male: r = −0.172, p < 0.01; female: r = −0.135, p < 0.01), keeping social distance (male: r = −0.117, p < 0.01; female: r = −0.147, p < 0.01), and covering the nose when sneezing (male: r = −0.202, p < 0.01; female: r = −0.115, p < 0.01). Regression analysis indicated that adherence to precautionary measures was a strong predictor of reduction of depressive symptoms in the target population. Male gender was also found to be an independent predictor of reduction of depressive symptoms. Depressive symptoms were highly prevalent in this target group, and female undergraduates seemed to be more vulnerable to developing such symptoms. Results also indicated that female undergraduates were more likely to implement the protective measures for COVID-19. The promotion of precautionary measures seems to be effective in reducing distress in this target population, but further research is needed to confirm our assertions.

: Background: The antibacterial resistance is emerging problem worldwide. This phenomenon is nowadays affecting public health dramatically on the global level. Public knowledge is considered a prerequisite for appropriate use of antibiotics and limited spread of antibiotic resistance. Our aim was to evaluate the level of knowledge, beliefs, attitude and behaviors toward antibiotic resistance among Saudi public in northern border region of Saudi Arabia. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in northern border region of Saudi Arabia using a self-administeredquestionnaire in Arabic language and all data were analyzed by means of descriptive analysis. Results: More than two thirds of study subjects reported that they heard about antibiotic resistance and 35% of them mentioned the social media as the source of information about this issue, only 44% of study subjects were aware that antibiotic resistance means that bacteria would not be killed by antibiotic, 42% were aware that antibiotic resistance bacteria is difficult to eradicate, 58% were aware that indiscriminate use of antibiotics is the cause of bacterial resistance, 34% were aware that use antibiotic when there is no need is a cause for bacterial resistance,38% were aware that incomplete course of antibiotic lead to bacterial resistance,43% of study subjects take antibiotic without prescription, 42% stop antibiotic when symptoms improve and47% of study subjects believed that influenza and common cold can be treated with antibiotics. Conclusion: Our community still has some misconception and insufficient knowledge regarding antibiotic resistance. There is great concern surrounding the development and spread of resistance resulting from poor knowledge about the dangers of self-medication and misuse of antibiotics.Key words: Knowledge, Attitude, Antibiotics, Saudi Arabia, Antibiotic resistance.

Biobanking entails large-scale collection of human biological specimens that are linked to the donors' health and personal information, and has several applications in clinical research. Human biological specimens, such as blood, urine and tissue, have become immensely important to medical research: they offer a valuable source of genetic material that researchers can use to identify disease-associated genetic variation and to determine interactions between genes and environmental factors. Identification of genetic contributions to disease can lead to the development of new diagnostic tests and targeted treatments. Over the last decade, both common diseases and rare genetic disorders have been reported in Saudi Arabia. The need to generate extensive genetic data on these diseases has led to the establishment of several Saudi Arabian biobanks. Fortunately, these vital efforts have the support of the Saudi Government and researchers. However, the success of any biobank also requires public support and the willingness of the population to donate their biological material along with information on their medical records. Thus, the Saudi public needs to be informed of the benefits of maintaining biobanks, their participation needs to be encouraged through donation of biological material, and any public concerns regarding the confidential treatment of medical data need to be addressed. This article reviews the most common genetic diseases identified in the Saudi population, it describes biobanks and it examines how biobanks can support biomedical research in the area. Moreover, this article proposes measures that might help to increase public awareness of biobanks and the preparedness of the Saudi Arabian population to donate biological material.

We aimed to determine the prevalence of MHAs' usage and explore the context and determinants of using MHAs among inhabitants in Saudi Arabia (SA). This cross-sectional study randomly selected 679 adult inhabitants from the 20 health regions in SA through an electronic, self-administered, well-structured, and validated Arabic questionnaire. The prevalence of using MHAs was 47.9%, and it was significantly higher among younger, Saudis, highly educated, and working participants, as well as those with chronic diseases (p < 0.05). The main motives for using MHAs were to promote health status (68.6%) and to lose weight (33.2%). The most used apps were related to daily steps-counting (54.2%), and among females was tracking ovulation period apps (43.5%). The most common reported advantage of using MHAs was saving time (64%). Despite the potential benefits of MHAs, they were used by only about half of the study participants in SA. The most effective MHAs in improving health status were exercise, calorie-related, water uptake, and daily steps-counting apps. Policymakers looking to address reform aimed at improving health with mobile apps will find our study interesting.

Dengue is an important global arboviral disease with expanding geographical range. It is a major public health concern in Western Saudi Arabia since its first detection in the city of Jeddah in 1994. In this retrospective study, we examined dengue incidence among febrile patients suspected for acute dengue infection at King Abdulaziz University Hospital, Jeddah from 2010 to 2014 and we tried to determine the effect of climate factors on dengue incidence in the city. Acute dengue incidence rates among clinically suspected patients showed annual variation with a range from 29.3% to 57%. Male gender and 11-30 years age range were found to be risk factors for dengue infection in Jeddah. While dengue infections can be detected throughout the year, most cases occurred between March and July with peaks in May and June. Seasonality of dengue was found to be significantly associated with the decrease in relative humidity and increase in temperature within the range of ∼25 °C to ∼33 °C but not extremely hot temperatures. Moreover, we found that rainfall during winter (November to February) has a significant lag effect on dengue infection among febrile patients in the city. Jeddah is the second largest city in Saudi Arabia and a major hub for pilgrims because of its close proximity to the holy sites in the Kingdom. The observed high rates of acute dengue infections clearly show the endemicity of dengue in Jeddah. The observed higher incidence rates at young age are expected to cause an increase in severe dengue cases in the future especially that multiple dengue serotypes are co-circulating in the city. Furthermore, the significant association between the different climate factors and dengue and their impact on the disease seasonality should help in the effort to implement effective control and management measures to reduce dengue burden in the Kingdom.

In order to understand the phenomenon of stigma in different populations (e.g., different ethnicities, different diseases, and different conditions), this Special Issue collects papers from around the world to illustrate the stigma phenomenon. After a rigorous process of peer review, a total of 24 papers were published and included in the Special Issue. These papers were contributed from different continents and countries, including the Americas (e.g., United States), Europe (e.g., Finland), and Asia (e.g., Saudi Arabia). Therefore, the diversity of ethnicity was ensured in the Special Issue. Moreover, these papers address different stigmatized populations/conditions (e.g., mental illness, obesity, public housing, homosexuality, and transgender). The most discussed populations were those with mental illness and those with obesity/overweight. However, additional evidence on the stigma topic is still needed. Specifically, future studies could consider the following directions to explore in depth the issues of stigma in different populations: (1) using longitudinal designs to understand the temporal or causal relationship between stigma and other related psychosocial factors; (2) designing treatment programs to fight stigma—this could be carried out in healthcare providers, healthcare trainees, the public, caregivers, and the stigmatized populations.

To determine the knowledge and attitudes of adolescents in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia towards cancer.A pre-structured tested and revised questionnaire was administered to a randomly selected sample from four high schools (two males and two females) in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia.Data were obtained from 572 adolescents. There was a marked variability in knowledge across informational items, particularly about the possible causes and how to avoid developing cancer.Students possess some knowledge of cancer, although this knowledge was not uniform. There were misconceptions about cancer and its pervention. The researcher concludes that the development and implementation of school health education programs on cancer are needed in this population.

Dental informatics is an emerging field that has the potential to transform the dental profession. This study aims to summarize the current applications of dental informatics in Saudi Arabia and to identify the challenges facing expansion of dental informatics in the Saudi context. Search for published articles and specialized forum entries was conducted, as well as interviews with dental professionals familiar with the topic. Results indicated that digital radiography/analysis and administrative management of dental practice are the commonest applications used. Applications in Saudi dental education included: web-based learning systems, computer-based assessments and virtual technology for clinical skills' teaching. Patients' education software, electronic dental/oral health records and the potential of dental research output from electronic databases are yet to be achieved in Saudi Arabia. Challenges facing Saudi dental informatics include: lack of IT infrastructure/support, social acceptability and financial cost. Several initiatives are taken towards the research in dental informatics. Still, more investments are needed to fully achieve the potential of various application of informatics in dental education, practice and research.

Abstract In recent years postnatal depression (PND) has become one of the most important public health issues because of its prevalence. Estimates for those affected by PND suggest a range of 10–15% of new mothers worldwide. In the context of Saudi society, attitudes toward this disorder are influenced by various beliefs, traditions, cultural factors, and values. These variables trigger considerable disparity in terms of frequency of symptoms. The symptoms of postnatal depression vary and can arise over a period of months, causing profound effects on mothers, also effecting mother-baby and broader familial relationships. The current study establishes the rate of occurrence and risk factors for PND in the western region of Saudi Arabia, to build on existing data. In total, 217 new Saudi mothers were recruited and data was collected using the Edinburgh Postnatal Scale (EPDS) in conjunction with a self-report questionnaire. Based on recommendations in previous studies, an EPND cut-off point of 13 ≥ was applied herein. Findings show the prevalence of PND, approximately 17.1% among the participants, and contributing factors included a previous history of depression, χ 2 = 67.74, df = 1, p < .05, problems with the child’s health, χ 2 = 31.42, df = 1, p < .05, issues with home support, χ 2 = 43.47, df = 1, p < .05, and pregnancy complications, χ 2 = 7.19, df = 1, p < .05. Meanwhile, no correlation was found between PND and the baby’s gender, delivery type, breastfeeding, mother’s age, or mother’s educational level. Additional studies are required to confirm these findings, and to identify other risk factors.

Background: Participation of public is considered to be an important and most effective approach for controlling the spread of novel coronavirus and limiting the impact of COVID-19. However, considering its novel nature, it is very much essential to create awareness among the public in taking preventive measures with timely and accurate updates through verified sources. However, misinformation and myths continued to spread in online communities, which have resulted in serious damages. Objective: Focusing on these aspects, this paper reviews the public awareness about COVID-19, myths surrounding it, its symptoms, treatment, transmission, importance of information sources, types of information to be considered in awareness campaigns, promotional channels, and their implications in Saudi Arabia. Methods: An online questionnaire-based survey was used for collecting data related to five major aspects related to COVID-19 and awareness creation process. The survey was accessed by 1881 people, out of which 741 people participated in the survey. However, 150 dropouts were identified who left the survey in between, as a result of which a final sample of 591 was achieved, indicating the response rate of 39.3% (741/1881), and a completion rate of 79.76%. Results: Awareness levels related to COVID-19, its means of transmission, preventive measures, symptoms, and treatment of the participants were identified to be moderate to high (60%-80%). However, reliance on few myths, and violation of certain preventive measures such as staying at were identified with majority of the participants (more than 60%). Ministry of Health was identified to be most reliable source of information followed by family and friends. 15 types of information, identified to be highly relevant and important which need to be effectively disseminated among the public through effective communication channels. Conclusions: Lack of awareness can result in serious outcomes in relation to COVID-19. Effective awareness campaigns including relevant information from reliable sources can improve the knowledge of people, and they must be effective in developing positive

Leishmaniasis is a parasitic disease caused by a protozoan of the Leishmania genus, and is considered a neglected tropical disease. It still remains a main public health concern at global level and in Arab world mainly in low-income countries. Therefore, this study was designed to evaluate the Arab world's growing contribution to global leishmaniasis research.This study describes a bibliometric review of all leishmaniasis research publications published between January 1998 and December 2017 indexed on the Scopus database.The total number of publications published at global level was 17,570 papers, which achieves an average annual productivity of 878.50 papers publications. Brazil was responsible for the greatest output with the total number of publications of 3865 followed by the Unites States (n = 2729), India (n = 2119), the United Kingdom (n = 1363), and Spain (n = 1274). By limiting the analysis to the publications that have been published by Arab world, the research productivity was 993 papers, which represents 5.65% of total research output at global level in research regarding leishmaniasis. Tunisia was responsible for the greatest output from Arab world with the total number of publications of 297 followed by Sudan (n = 192), Saudi Arabia (n = 131), Morocco (n = 119) and Egypt (n = 67). Since 1998, the growth of publications on leishmaniasis fluctuates, overall showing a rising trend in both global and Arab world. There is a highly significant correlation between publication productivity related to leishmaniasis at global level and the Arab world (r = 0.936; p-value< 0.001). Leishmaniasis treatment, intracellular mechanism of infection, and lifecycle of leishmania are the major current hot topics for the research in this subject at global level and the Arab world.The current study presents a novel review of the current Arab leishmaniasis-related research, and how these results are related to worldwide output. In comparison to the global research output, the Arab world produced less leishmaniasis research. The data presented in the current study by this innovative approach may serve relevant researchers to direct the global leishmaniasis research to Arab counties in which leishmaniasis is endemic.

Saudi poison control centers provide surveillance data that should be used to determine the magnitude of poisoning exposures and the level of public awareness that is to evaluate control measures. This work aimed to review and assess the characteristics of toxic events received by toxicological information center's hotline all over Saudi Arabia during 2020.Data were collected from the poison control centers in Saudi Arabia. Cases of poisonings were studied during the period from 1st January to 31st December 2020.The poison control center received 20,513 calls in the year 2020. Most of calls were from Riyadh city (40.9 %) and from public places (92.9 %). Regarding the patients, most of the cases were less than 6 years old and more than half of them were males. The majority of toxic exposures were accidental oral poisoning. About 84 % of patients (84.3 %) called for help within one hour from poisons exposure. Household substances toxic exposure represented about one third of toxic cases. Chemicals and alcohol sanitizers' poisoning were the highest among house hold substances toxicities (39.3 % and 17.7 % respectively of all household substances toxicity). In addition, the most frequently ingested drugs were vitamins poisoning.Household chemicals represented the highest risk in exposures among children below 6 years. Finally, we recommended widespread awareness of the poisons risk and the importance of poison control that play a great role in time management and saving lives.

Background: Cardiovascular diseases are considered as the most common cause of death worldwide; resulting in 50% of total deaths reported throughout the globe, and its expected to increase significantly. Cardiovascular diseases are also the most common cause of death in Saudi Arabia. The current study was aimed at determining the level of awareness regarding cardiovascular diseases among a random representative sample of Riyadh population, Saudi Arabia during the year 2017. Methodology: A cross-sectional study was carried out employing random sampling technique and with a sample size of 388 adults (age of 18 years to 50 years and more) among the general public excluding the medical staff. Results: Among the total subjects studied, half of the respondents reported good knowledge regarding the risk factors of cardiovascular diseases (46.6%) and a good level of awareness regarding prevention of cardiovascular diseases (71.2%), while a majority of them had (67.2%) poor knowledge regarding the clinical characteristics of cardiovascular diseases. Most respondents had a moderate level of knowledge of cardiovascular diseases (60.5%) and they belonged to a lower economic status group. Majority of the participants who had a moderate level of awareness of cardiovascular diseases were educated at university level (36.3%). Conclusion: Most participants had good knowledge regarding risk factors and prevention of cardiovascular diseases, the majority of participants had poor knowledge regarding the clinical characteristics of cardiovascular diseases. There was no statistically significant relationship found between economic status, education level, and the level of awareness of cardiovascular diseases.

Abstract Background Several emergent circumstances require healthcare providers to recognize the unusual and dangerous and pathogenic agents. An in-depth literature review showed that studies about bioterrorism preparedness amongst healthcare providers are lacking. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the knowledge and preparedness level of first emergency respondents towards bioterrorism events. Methods This study has a cross-sectional design and was carried out at the Emergency departments and poison control centers/clinical laboratories three in major tertiary care hospitals in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The subjects were randomly selected to complete the self-administered questionnaire to collect study outcomes. Results A total of 1030 participants were included in the final data analysis. The mean knowledge score in the basic concepts of bioterrorism and introductory clinical presentations of bioterrorism-related agents was 4.92 ± 1.86 out of 12 points. Moreover, the findings showed a mean knowledge score of 22.80 ± 3.92 out of 38 in the bioterrorism preparedness and governing policies and procedures. Respondents who received previous training in bioterrorism preparedness had a significantly higher number of perceived benefits than those not sure and without prior training (z = − 2.67, p = 0.008) and (z = − 4.4, p < 0.0001), respectively. About 79.4% of participants did not have previous training in bioterrorism preparedness, but 68.7% expressed willingness in the institution’s response and control to assist in a bioterrorist attack incident. Conclusion Although healthcare professionals have reported their desire to help in bioterrorism events, they need to enhance their knowledge of bioterrorism preparedness.

Abstract Purpose The Global Burden of Diseases (GBD) Studies have estimated that low back pain is one of the costliest ailments worldwide. Subsequent to GBD publications, leadership of the four largest global spine societies agreed to form SPINE20. This article introduces the concept of SPINE20, the recommendations, and the future of this global advocacy group linked to G20 annual summits. Methods The founders of SPINE20 advocacy group coordinated with G20 Saudi Arabia to conduct the SPINE20 summit in 2020. The summit was intended to promote evidence-based recommendations to use the most reliable information from high-level research. Eight areas of importance to mitigate spine disorders were identified through a voting process of the participating societies. Twelve recommendations were discussed and vetted. Results The areas of immediate concern were “Aging spine,” “Future of spine care,” “Spinal cord injuries,” “Children and adolescent spine,” “Spine-related disability,” “Spine Educational Standards,” “Patient safety,” and “Burden on economy.” Twelve recommendations were created and endorsed by 31/33 spine societies and 2 journals globally during a vetted process through the SPINE20.org website and during the virtual inaugural meeting November 10–11, 2020 held from the G20 platform. Conclusions This is the first time that international spine societies have joined to support actions to mitigate the burden of spine disorders across the globe. SPINE20 seeks to change awareness and treatment of spine pain by supporting local projects that implement value-based practices with healthcare policies that are culturally sensitive based on scientific evidence.

Background: Vaccine hesitancy in Saudi Arabia continues even after reaching 17 million doses. This study was conducted to comprehensively assess coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine hesitancy in adult people who ignore the COVID-19 vaccine in the Saudi Arabian population and explore community awareness of public health after 17 million doses of COVID-19 vaccination. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was used in this study. The questionnaire included three domains: demographic information, vaccine hesitancy by the health belief model related to the COVID-19 vaccine, and hesitancy by attitude and conspiracy towards the COVID-19 vaccine. A total of 401 adults participated in this study. Results: The respondents’ perceptions of COVID-19 susceptibility and severity showed that the participants did not feel at risk nor believe that COVID-19 was serious. Connivance beliefs were found to be associated with reliance on social media as a major source of information about COVID-19 vaccines, and lack of trust in vaccine manufacturers (pharmaceutical companies). The majority of the respondents were concerned about the efficacy and safety of the COVID-19 vaccine, which can be reported as a major barrier to vaccination. Recommendations: To increase vaccination rates, health authorities need to communicate both the benefits and risks of vaccination. In addition, we recommend using a qualitative study to understand and evaluate the participants' concepts in depth.

Abstract Background Monkeypox disease (MPD) recently re-emerged in May 2022 and caused international outbreaks in multiple non-endemic countries. This study aimed to assess the Saudi Arabian public and healthcare workers (HCWs) knowledge about MPD and their information-seeking attitudes before any cases were yet reported in Saudi Arabia. Methods This online survey of HCWs and the public in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) was conducted from May 27 to June 5, 2022. The survey tool was adopted from our published research on COVID-19 with modifications related to the new MPD outbreak, which was validated for content, language, and consistency. Participants were invited by convenience sampling techniques through various social media platforms (i.e., Twitter and WhatsApp groups) and email lists. Variables surveyed included participants’ sociodemographic and job-related characteristics, COVID-19 infection status, and advocacy for MPD vaccination. Multiple questions assessing the participants’ knowledge related to MPD and (MPV) in terms of transmission, vaccination information by HCWs, and required isolation precautions. Finally, a Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD7) score was calculated. We then assessed the independent variables associated with participants’ attitudes to seek more information about MPD, and those associated with knowledge scores. Results A total of 1546 participants completed the public survey, and 61.3% showed interest in seeking more information about MPD. Of the participants, 48.7% knew that MPD could be transmitted before skin blisters appear, and 62.7% inferred that skin lesions are infectious. Only 38.1% inferred that touching contaminated surfaces, and 46.5% knew that sexual contact is a mode of transmission. 56.6% falsely believed the old smallpox vaccine is not effective against MPD. Public participants’ overall mean knowledge score of MPD was 4.88 of 9 points. In contrast, the mean score of the knowledge of the 1130 HCWs was 14.4 of 28. Among HCWs, 28.3% correctly answered that the Jynneos vaccine has activity against MPD and 79.7% incorrectly answered that VARIVAX, a chickenpox vaccine, is effective against MPD. In addition, 74.2% of HCWs perceived the need to seek more information about MPD. Male HCWs had significantly lower mean knowledge scores compared to females. Physicians and HCWs’ self-rated high awareness of MPD correlated positively and significantly with their knowledge score. Conclusion In this study, the general public and HCWs had a moderate level of knowledge about MPD. The knowledge gaps among HCWs were evident in the clinical presentation of patients and vaccinations. Both groups reported a desire to seek more information about MPD, but this did not correlate with knowledge scores. It is important to have further education and intensification of campaigns to enhance awareness of MPD. It is also crucial to have further studies evaluate the knowledge of both groups over time.

Saudi Arabia is expected to witness a slight reduction in tobacco use. The Saudi government offers free-of-charge smoking cessation services. Yet, factors influencing the desire to quit smoking are not comprehensively investigated in Saudi Arabia. This study examines the factors influencing the desire to quit among smoking adults in Saudi Arabia and investigates whether using alternative tobacco products, such as e-cigarettes, is associated with the desire to quit smoking.Data from the 2019 nationally representative Global Adults Tobacco Survey (GATS) was used. GATS utilized a face-to-face household cross-sectional survey that collected data from adults aged ≥15 years. Several factors including, sociodemographic characteristics, use of alternative tobacco products, attitude toward tobacco control, and awareness of smoking cessation clinics (SCCs), were examined to predict the desire to quit. Logistic regression analysis was conducted.A total of 11381 individuals completed the survey. Of the total sample, 1667 participants were tobacco smokers. The majority of the tobacco smokers were interested in quitting smoking (82.4%); 58% of cigarette smokers and 17.1% of waterpipe smokers were interested in quitting smoking. The desire to quit smoking was positively associated with the awareness of SCCs (AOR=3; 95% CI: 1.8-5), attitude toward raising tobacco taxes (AOR=2.3; 95% CI: 1.4-3.8), and a strict rule of smoking inside the home (AOR=2; 95% CI: 1.1-3.9). No statistical association was found between the desire to quit smoking and the use of e-cigarettes.The desire to quit tobacco smoking among Saudi smokers increased with awareness of SCCs, favoring taxes on tobacco products, and implementing strict rules of smoking inside the home. The study reveals valuable insights into the main factors that could inform the development of more effective policy interventions targeting smokers in Saudi Arabia.

Introduction 
 Tobacco use has been associated with many health risks that can lead to premature death. This study aims to assess the national prevalence of tobacco consumption and the associated determinants in Saudi Arabia. 
 Methods 
 The study involved a cross-sectional national survey of 5175 individuals conducted across the 13 official regions of Saudi Arabia. The sample included individuals aged 18 years and above from both genders recruited using a quota sampling technique. Data collection was carried out between September 2018 and May 2019 through Web-based computer-assisted telephone interviews (CATIs). Participants were asked to report their current consumption of tobacco products including cigarettes, shisha (waterpipe), smokeless tobacco, cigars, pipes, and electronic cigarettes/vaping. Knowledge of specific health risks associated with smoking and public perceptions of the smoking phenomenon were also assessed among never smokers, smokers, and former smokers.
 
 Results 
 The national prevalence of tobacco consumption was 24.02% (1120/5175). Cigarettes were the most prevalent tobacco product consumed (16.18%; 95% CI: 14.5881–17.7663), and daily cigarette smoking prevalence was the highest (14.12%; 95% CI: 12.6433–15.5924). Shisha smoking prevalence was 8.12% (95% CI: 6.8054–9.4352). E-cigarette use prevalence was 2.22% (95% CI: 1.5770–2.8711). The most common tobacco product used among males was cigarettes (15.13%; 95% CI: 13.58–16.67), while shisha was commonly used among females (1.57%; 95% CI: 1.11–2.04). Cigarette smoking prevalence was the highest in the Aljawf region (21.12%; 95% CI: 17.07–25.18), shisha smoking prevalence was the highest in the Makkah region (12.41%; 95% CI: 8.64–16.17), whereas smokeless tobacco use was prevalent in the Najran region (4.75%; 95% CI: 2.81–6.70). Males (AOR: 8.17; 95% CI: 5.98–11.71; P < 0.0001), young adults below 45 years of age (AOR: 2.12; 95% CI: 1.50–2.98; P < 0.0001), and those with below a bachelor’s degree (AOR: 1.34; 95% CI: 1.01–1.77; P = 0.0396) were more likely to consume tobacco compared with others. The population mean knowledge scores of health risks associated with smoking among smokers was 1.91 ± 1.72 (Range: 0–10), with the highest knowledge scores (2.16 ± 1.68) among former smokers. Only 46.53% (95% CI: 44.30–48.75) of the population are bothered “to very large extent” by smoking health consequences.
 Conclusions 
 Tobacco consumption is prevalent in Saudi Arabia. Different forms of tobacco use were reported, and the most common was cigarettes, followed by shisha and then electronic cigarettes. Tobacco use remains one of the major threats to the health of the population in Saudi Arabia.

Because Saudi Arabia (SA) has struggled with the burden of Road Traffic Injuries (RTIs) for decades, a new automated citations system was implemented in 2018 to improve compliance with seatbelt and mobile phone laws. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of the system on the prevalence of seatbelt and mobile phone use among drivers in Riyadh. This is an observational study conducted between 2017 and 2018. A Pre-Post evaluation was employed to determine the impact of a camera detection system on seatbelt and mobile phone use. Two research coordinators collected the observations at several highways and inner intersections around Riyadh (n = 3400). We evaluated differences in the prevalence of seatbelt and mobile phone use across the two time periods using a chi-2 test. In addition, we evaluated the association between the new intervention and traffic violation using a logistic regression model.The overall seatbelt compliance increased significantly from 33.9% (95% CI = 31.7-36.2) to 75.8% (95% CI = 73.7-77.8; P < 0.01). In addition, mobile phone use declined significantly from 13.8% (95% CI = 12.2-15.5) to 9.8 (95% CI = 8.8-9.1; P < 0.01). We found the detection system to be associated with a significant increase in seatbelt use and also a significant decline in mobile phone use while driving. After implementing the intervention, drivers were 6.1 times (OR = 6.1, 95% CI = 5.2-7.0) more likely to wear seatbelts than before the technology went into effect. Similarly, drivers observed after implementing the cameras were 32% (OR = 0.68, 95% CI = 0.55,0.84) less likely to use mobile phones while driving than those seen prior to the intervention.This study found a significant reduction in traffic violations following the implementation of a camera detection system in Riyadh. This positive impact is evidence for the role preventative structural strategies play to improve traffic safety and reduce RTI in SA. Therefore, these findings may facilitate further support for policymakers that public health interventions play a significant role to improve traffic safety. Seatbelt and mobile phone use while driving should continue to be monitored, and traffic police may evaluate whether increasing the fine is associated with a significant reduction in traffic violations and associated crashes.

BACKGROUND: Internet is a resource used to deliver health information, and has the potential to provide nutrition education in particular for individuals with a good level of education. The purpose of this study was to investigate the use of internet as a source for health information and analyzing the related factors for internet as a source for health information among students in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
 
 METHODS: We recruited 164 high schools, undergraduate and postgraduate students living in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. A self-administered structured questionnaire to collect data on searching the internet for health information was used. It included frequency and timing of search, type of information, use of information in decision making, general health condition and socio-demographic characteristics. Differences between students who perceived and those who did not perceive improvement in health care after using internet health information were assessed using the chi-squared test.
 
 RESULTS: 92.7% of the students usually searched the internet for health information and 84.8% perceived internet health information as a help towards improving their health status. Students at higher educational levels talked significantly more often with their doctors regarding the health information they got from the internet (p = 0.014). We found significantly higher rates of perceived improvement in health among females (p &lt;0.001), participants who trusted the health information they got from the internet (p &lt;0.001), those who searched the internet for health information for themselves and other persons (p = 0.034), who searched for information on health care, physical fitness and nutrition and specific diseases (p = 0.005) and those who did it to increase their knowledge (p = 0.024).
 
 CONCLUSION &amp; RECOMMENDATIONS: The majority of participants perceived the health information they got from the internet as a help towards improving their health status. Interventions should be developed to enhance the use of internet health information among males and high school students.

The low CIR suggested possible under-reporting, especially during the early years of operation. This study was aimed at estimating the number of missed cases due to under-reporting, and to assess the validity of reported data from a major public referral hospital in Riyadh city.MATERIALS AND METHODS:We compared cancer cases from three data sources: medical records (MR), which were the original source of NCR cases; pathology reports (PR); and death certificates (DC). We estimated the missing cancer cases using the capture-recapture method with log-linear models of Fienberg to correct for interdependency between the three data sources. To assess the validity of the data, we reabstracted records of about 8% (39/476) of previously reported cases from the same hospital.RESULTS:A total of 811 cancer cases were reported through the three sources, i.e., MR 611 (75.3%), PR 639 (78.8%) and DC 204 (25.2%). After fitting a series of log-linear models to the three sources of data, the three sources were found to be statistically dependent. Capture-recapture method indicated that 384 cases were missed, giving an estimation of 1195 cancer cases to be reported. Using these 1195 estimated cases; the estimated ascertainment rates were 51% for medical records, 53% for pathology reports, 17% for death certificates, and 68% for the aggregated registry. In the validity assessment, major disagreement between the abstracted and reabstracted data was found to be highest for stage of disease (44%), followed by histology code and behavior (25.6%). Minor disagreements were most common for date of diagnosis (36%) and grade (36%). Overall, agreements were highest for laterality (95%), followed by primary site codes (90%) and basis of diagnosis (85%). Agreement of tumor description variables (site, histology, behavior, and stage) was 57%.CONCLUSION:Cancer registration will require substantial improvements in both completeness of reporting and data quality at the hospital level. Use of multiple data sources and estimation of missed cases will help ensure completeness of case registration.IntroductionDisease registries are important in measuring the incidence and prevalence of a disease as well as to study its natural history. For instance, cancer registry is essential for a national cancer control program.1 Its primary function is to document and maintain all cancer cases occurring in a defined population in which the personal particulars of cancer patients and the clinical and pathological characteristics of the cancers, are collected continuously and systematically from various data sources. Such information is the primary resource not only for epidemiological research on cancer determinants, but also for planning and evaluating health services for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of the disease.2 Quality control of registered data is essential especially when several routine case-finding procedures, such as pathology and autopsy reports, hospital patient disease information systems, radiotherapy notes, and death certificates are used. The Saudi National Cancer Registry (NCR) is a population-based registry that was established in 1992 under the Ministry of Health (MOH). It covers approximately 18 million Saudi and non-Saudi residents.3 A ministerial decree has rendered cancer a mandatory reportable disease, with accessibility of data to all MOH, governmental and private hospitals, clinics, and laboratories throughout the Kingdom. The reporting of cancer cases to the NCR from Saudi Arabia started in January 1994. The 1994 report showed a crude incidence rate (CIR) among the Saudi population to be 39/100,000, with a male-to-female ratio of 1.2:1.3 Almost all cases (95.0%) were diagnosed microscopically.3Completeness of registration may be defined as the extent to which all incident cancers occurring in a target population are included in the registry database. Evaluation of completeness in a cancer registry depends on the number of data sources available. The rationale is that fewer cases will escape the net, and that the quality of data will be enhanced by bringing together all items related to patients in a single file.4 The higher the average number of sources per case, the higher the degree of completeness of the registration process.5The capture-recapture methodology, originally developed for estimating demographic parameters of animal populations has been applied to human populations.6-8 The purpose of using the capture-recapture model is the ascertainment of data for estimating the size of a target population based on several incomplete lists of individuals. Another essential component in evaluating the quality of data of registries is to evaluate their validity.5Cancer registries exist in many parts of the world, but relatively little systematic work has been done to evaluate the quality assurance of registered cases. This study was designed to identify missed cancer Cases through different sources of case finding in a major public referral hospital in Riyadh, to estimate the rate of under-registration and to evaluate the completeness of the cancer registry, as well as assess the validity of reported data.MATERIALS AND METHODSCompletenessMore than 20,000 pathological reports and 1030 death certificates from the Statistics department (Ministry of Health) that were reported during 1994 were reviewed manually. Unmatched cases for medical records number with pathology report and/or death certificate registry were further investigated to ensure cancer diagnoses during 1994. Unfortunately patients who were diagnosed and treated at outpatient clinics with positive pathology results were not reported because they had no medical records. We excluded positive outpatient cancer cases because of incomplete information. Therefore, completeness and validity of the records applied to inpatients only.ValidityWe selected 39/476 (8.2%) cases at random to assess the validity of data abstracted and reported by the Tumor Registry at King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Center (KFSH&RC). Information was reabstracted directly from patients’ medical records into the standard National Cancer Registry (NCR) registration form. Coding was performed by a certified tumor registrar and then entered using the original NCR data entry format. Epi-Info software program was used to check for inconsistency of data that had already been reported. Results were summarized and analyzed using major and minor disagreements for selected key data items developed by the Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) Program of the National Cancer Institute and the Centralized Cancer Patient Data System (CCPDS, 1985) (Table 1). The SPSS software was used for fitting series of log-linear models to the data, and chi-squared tests were calculated to assess source dependency as could be judged by the interaction term of the fitted model. The final model was used to calculate the missing cell (Table 2).Table 1. Major and minor disagreements for selected key data items (CCPDS, 1985).Table 1. Major and minor disagreements for selected key data items (CCPDS, 1985).Table 2. Frequency of the cancer cases which was ascertained by the three sources.Table 2. Frequency of the cancer cases which was ascertained by the three sources.Table 3. Distribution of cancer cases by source of data.Table 3. Distribution of cancer cases by source of data.RESULTSDuring 1994, only 611 incidence cancer cases were reported by KFSH&RC to the NCR main office. After data cleaning at the NCR main office, only 476 cancer cases were attributed to the same hospital whereas the remaining cases were referred from other different hospitals in different regional offices. Active case finding identified 811 newly diagnosed cancer cases through the three sources of data collection, i.e., medical records, pathology reports and death certificate registry (Table 3), as compared with 611 cases that were reported by the tumor registrars from medical records only. We were able to identify 745 (91.9%) cases through pathology reports and death certificate registry. Of these, 639 (78.8%) cases were found to have pathological reports, and 204 (25.2%) cases had death certificate reports. After matching cases reported by active case finding with cases reported by medical records, we were able to identify 200 (24.7%) cases that were not reported by tumor registrars. Of 222 death certificates diagnosing cancer as cause of death, 18 (8%) were excluded as they were found not to be cancer cases.By fitting a series of log-linear modeling to the three sources of data (Table 2), we found that all three sources were statistically dependent. We calculated the number of missed cases from the three sources to be 384 (95% confidence interval 166-898), giving an estimation of total cancer cases of 1195. Using the estimated figure of 1195, the estimated ascertainment rates were 51% for medical records, 53% for pathology reports, 17% for death certificates, and 67% for the aggregated registry.Estimation of ValidityAnalyses were made for 39/476 records (8.2%) during 1994. Major disagreement about the abstracted and reabstracted data was found to be highest for stage of disease (43.6%), followed by histology code and behavior (25.6%), whereas minor disagreement found to be highest for date of diagnosis (35.9%) and grade (35.9%). Overall, agreements were highest for laterality (94.9%), followed by primary site codes (89.7%) and basis of diagnosis (84.6%), while date of diagnosis and stage had the lowest agreement percentage (Table 4). Agreement of tumor description variables (site, histology, behavior, and stage) was 57.4%. Patients’ demographic variables were not analyzed because the data were not standardized.Table 4.

Results of the major, minor and overall disagreements of reabstracted cancer cases for the selected key data items.DISCUSSIONIn practice, no registry can achieve 100% completeness; there will always be some omissions for various reasons.12 Robles et al. (1988) used the capture-recapture method to estimate completeness of the Ontario Cancer Registry (Canada), and found completeness rate to be about 93%.13 Although outpatient cancer cases were not included in this study, almost 25% of cancer cases in 1994 were not identified. Tumor data were collected solely from one source, the medical record, despite the fact that the hospital medical record system was not up-to-date. In addition, during the first years of nationwide cancer registration, registry staff were mostly inexperienced. This study provides strong need for collecting from multiple sources in order to include all possible cancer patients seen or diagnosed at health care institutions. The proportion of completeness increased by 17% when the three sources were used as compared to only one source of data (68% completeness of aggregated sources versus 51% for medical records only). This would have been further increased if we had included missed outpatient cases. Degree of completeness of the registration process is directly proportionate with the number of data sources. The higher the number of data sources, the higher the likelihood of completeness.Ninety-five percent of the total reported cancer cases to the NCR had histopathological diagnosis during 1994. In this study, 9% of cancer cases were identified through death certificates only, which were not checked by tumor registrars. Countries with long experience in tumor registration such as Sweden and Denmark have reported 4.5% and 8% cancer cases, respectively, through death certificates only.9 Therefore, access to death certificates is very important both to enhance completeness of data collection and to evaluate the degree of completeness achieved.The capture-recapture methods offer the potential to reduce the cost of disease registers, and to reduce bias in the estimation of incidence and comparison of population groups using proper modeling that adjust for dependency between different data sources. In this study, estimated missed cases were 1.5 times higher (1195 cases) than those identified by active case finding from the three sources (811 cases) and almost twice the number that has been reported by the tumor registrars. This indicates the importance of regular quality control of registered data, especially when several routine case-finding procedures can be used.Due to incomplete information in patient files, we limited the reabstracted record method to a few key items, mainly to those with coding system. A lot of demographic data were not included due to the inconsistencies in translating Arabic written names into English. Epi-Info and other software programs are unable to overcome this problem. Our results of validity evaluation showed high proportions of major, minor, and overall disagreements as compared to other studies in different countries.5 In 1976, West selected about 20% of the registrations in the South Wales Cancer Registry (UK) for the year 1972, and found that 5% of cases had been coded to incorrect diagnosis and 13.6% had incorrect year of diagnosis.14 In 1988, Fulton et al. reabstracted 280 cancer cases registered in Rhode Island Cancer Registry, and found major disagreement of 5.4% for primary sites, 16.1% for stage, and 9.6% for histology.15 In 1993, Schouten et al. compared abstracted data by 20 clinicians, with the cancer registry records in the Netherlands, and found major disagreements of 6% for primary cancer site, 2% for histopathological type, and 2% for behavior code.16 The higher proportions of disagreements shown in this study may be explained by lack of experience, as it was the first operational year for the NCR. Also, the existing computer software used by the NCR has limitations in checking for data quality at the time of data entry. This means that impossible and incorrect but logical codes and combinations of codes for different variables in the same case record may occur. Adopting more advanced computer software readily available in the market can solve this problem. One such program has been developed and used by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC, Can-Reg software), World Health Organization.CONCLUSIONCancer registration will require substantial improvements in both completeness of reporting and data quality at the hospital level. Use of multiple data sources and estimation of missed cases will help ensure completeness of case registration.ARTICLE REFERENCES:1. Jensen OM, Storm HH. Purposes and uses of cancer registration.

To assess the early effect of oral health education on oral health knowledge of primary and intermediate school students of private schools by utilizing pre/post questionnaires data from oral health educational projects in Riyadh city, Saudi Arabia. Second, to examine topic-specific knowledge differences between genders, nationalities, and educational levels of the students.Cross-sectional oral health educational data of private school students (n = 1279) in primary and intermediate levels were extracted from the King Salman Centre for Children's Health (KSCCH) projects undertaken by Riyadh Colleges of Dentistry and Pharmacy. Student's pre- and post-test data were analyzed for changes in oral health knowledge. Overall knowledge score and topic-specific knowledge scores were calculated and the differences between gender, nationality, and educational level were examined using Mann-Whitney U-test. Pre/post change in the oral health knowledge was evaluated by Wilcoxon's sign rank test.Immediately, after oral health educational session high knowledge score category showed an increase of 25.6%, medium and low knowledge score categories showed -3.2% and -22.3% decrease, and this change was statistically significant (P < 0.001). Comparison of correct responses between pre- and post-test showed statistically significant (P < 0.05) increase in all the questions except for the timing of tooth brushing. Females, non-Saudi nationals and students in primary level of education showed significantly high mean knowledge (P < 0.001) at posttest assessment.Primary and intermediate private school student's overall, and topic-specific oral health knowledge improved immediately after educational intervention provided by KSCCH. High knowledge gain was observed among female non-Saudi primary school students.

Reports in the literature emphasize on family management of this dreadful disease among the children. Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the knowledge and perceptions of parents/guardians about childhood asthma. Materials and Methods: Likert scale questionnaire consisting of 90 questions was served to the parents/ guardians of asthmatic children. The questionnaire scores were correlated with the number of emergency department (ED) visits by asthmatic children (r = −0.239, P =0.046). Results: Our results showed a negative correlation between ED visits by asthmatic children and their parents/guardians’ knowledge of the disease. Conclusion: Although there is a trend between the ED visits by asthmatic children and the level of parents/guardians’ awareness, our results are not conclusive, hence; further studies with a larger sample size are recommended. Keywords:Asthmatic children, emergency department visits, parents/guardians, perceptionView:PDF (812.98 KB)

The Coronavirus Disease of 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is a worldwide global public health threat. Although acceptance of COVID-19 vaccination will be a critical step in combating the pandemic, achieving high uptake will be difficult, and potentially made more difficult by social media misinformation. This study aimed to examine the association between social media use and acceptance of receiving COVID-19 vaccine among the general population in Saudi Arabia.A cross-sectional study was conducted from June 17 to June 19, 2021 among 504 participants of the general population in Saudi Arabia. The data were collected using a three-part online questionnaire (sociodemographic characteristics, medical and vaccination history, pattern of social media use).Among 504 participants who completed the survey, 477 participants were acceptant of the vaccine and 27 were non-accepting. A total of 335 individuals had already received the vaccine, 142 were willing to receive the vaccine and 27 were unwilling. One hundred and thirty participants denied using social media for COVID-19 news. Four factors were found to be significant in influencing vaccine acceptance in univariate analysis: having a chronic condition (odds ratio (OR) = 0.367, P = 0.019), believing that infertility is a side effect of the COVID-19 vaccine (OR = 0.298, P = 0.009), being concerned about a serious side effect from the vaccine (somewhat concerned: OR = 0.294, P = 0.022, very concerned: OR = 0.017, P < 0.0001), and basing the decision to be vaccinated on social media information (OR = 0.260, P = 0.006). Two of these factors fell away on multivariate analysis: basing the decision on social media information (OR = 0.356, P = 0.071), and a belief that vaccination causes infertility (OR = 0.0333, P = 0.054), suggesting that the associations are dependent on other factors.In conclusion, there was no significant independent relationship between social media usage and people's willingness to receive a COVID-19 vaccination. Further studies to explore the association between social media use and vaccine decisions are required to generalize this observation to the Saudi population.

BACKGROUND: The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared novel coronavirus (COVID-19) infection a global pandemic due to the fast transmission of this disease worldwide. To prevent and slow the transmission of this contagious illness, the public health officials of many affected countries scrambled to introduce measures aimed at controlling its spread. As a result, unprecedented interventions/measures, including strict contact tracing, quarantine of entire towns/cities, closing of borders and travel restrictions, have been implemented by most of the affected countries including the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this paper is to share health care professionals’ perspectives who are experiencing COVID19 firsthand in a foreign land. In addition, the role of the Saudi governance to combat the current situation is also discussed. DISCUSSION: Personal and previous experiences as related to Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) by the authors has been compared to the current situation and how it affected our thoughts and management. A review of the evidence-based literature was conducted to investigate the demographics of the region; and to understand the awareness of the various tools that are available and how they were utilized in the present situation of pandemic. CONCLUSIONS: Saudi Arabia has been challenged during the pandemic as are other countries.

The outbreak of the new coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has affected human life to a great extent on a worldwide scale. During the coronavirus pandemic, public health professionals at the early outbreak faced an extraordinary challenge to track and quantify the spread of disease. To investigate whether a digital surveillance model using google trends (GT) is feasible to monitor the outbreak of coronavirus in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. We retrieve GT data using ten common COVID-19 symptoms related keywords from March 2, 2020, to October 31, 2020. Spearman correlation were performed to determine the correlation between COVID-19 cases and the Google search terms. GT data related to Cough and Sore Throat were the most searched symptoms by the Internet users in Saudi Arabia. The highest daily correlation found with the Loss of Smell followed by Loss of Taste and Diarrhea. Strong correlation as well was found between the weekly confirmed cases and the same symptoms: Loss of Smell, Loss of Taste and Diarrhea. We conducted an investigation study utilizing Internet searches related to COVID-19 symptoms for surveillance of the pandemic spread. This study documents that google searches can be used as a supplementary surveillance tool in COVID-19 monitoring in Saudi Arabia.

Abstract In medical research, mass gathering is considered as one of the intensifying factors for respiratory disease outbreaks. An annual crowding event happens during Muslims’ religious practices of Hajj in Saudi Arabia. Another smaller ritual happens all year round, known as Umrah. While Hajj season is recognized, Umrah seasonality is challenging to identify. This paper uses data from Google Trends to identify Umrah seasons for performers from the Eastern Province in Saudi Arabia. It then investigates the correlation between mass gathering events as it affects the flu spread in the Eastern Province through the use of data. Patient data from a hospital was obtained to find flu seasonality and compared to crowding seasons. Google Trend data was confirmed by a limited dataset of official Umrah data and Flu data was confirmed by official FluNet data from neighboring country, Bahrain. An Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) approach has been followed to identify the seasonality. Cross-correlation analysis found a strong positive correlation between crowding seasons and flu outbreaks in the Eastern Province with a forward shift of flu data for three months.

An understanding of the level of public awareness of disease conditions is helpful for health educators to plan for future programmes. This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted for the very first time in the central region of Saudi Arabia; to evaluate the awareness level of diabetes mellitus among non-diabetic population. A total of 2007 Saudi citizens from all 11 provinces of Al-Qassim region were evaluated. The participants’ response rate was 91.23% and each participant was asked to answer a total of 21 questions from a pre-piloted questionnaire. Statistical analysis was done utilizing SPSS version 13.0. The mean age (±SD) and age range of the study participants were 26.6±10.2 and 15 to 68 yearsrespectively, and the gender ratio was 1.6 male: 1.0 female. Out of the participants, 77.4% aged between 15 and 33 years. The diabetes knowledge score among the study subjects was 67.4%, whereas general knowledge regarding the disease, risk factors, symptoms and complications were 71.1, 63.4, 80.8 and 47.7% respectively. Furthermore, relatives and friends, in addition to media, were the major sources of information (73.8 and 47.1% respectively). Logistic regression analysis revealed that, males were nearly twice more likely to have better knowledge of disease as compared with females (OR 0.569; 95% CI 0.471 to 0.687). About two thirds of the study subjects believed that, diabetes is a curable disease. Moreover, the study revealed the serious unawareness of diabetes associated secondary complications. Only 19.1% of participants were found to have knowledge about diabetes from the healthcare professionals. This indicates that, there is need of more efforts for educating general population about diabetes and its associated secondary complications.
Key words: Awareness, knowledge, diabetes mellitus, non-diabetic, young population, Al-Qassim region.

Outbreaks of methanol poisoning have been described in the medical literature in different regions around the world. Even though in Saudi Arabia a few outbreaks of methanol poisoning have occurred, they remain undocumented. Herein, we describe several cases of methanol poisoning in Saudi Arabia with the goal of increasing awareness about the dangers of methanol poisoning among healthcare staff.Nine middle-aged Saudi patients (five men aged 24, 26, 27, 36, and 49 years and four females aged 19, 20, 24, and 25 years) were admitted to our emergency department after alcohol consumption. All patients presented with severe metabolic acidosis and some visual impairment. Treatment was initiated based on the clinical suspicion of methanol intoxication because of laboratory test limitations and time constraints. Patients showed improvement and favorable hospital outcomes after aggressive empirical treatment.Many social and cultural factors influence the lack of reporting of methanol poisoning cases in Saudi Arabia. We believe it is important to document these outbreaks to increase the knowledge among healthcare providers and promote public health awareness. A high index of suspicion and the development of local public health networks to monitor, survey, follow-up, and facilitate data exchange can help healthcare providers recognize and aggressively treat affected individuals. Early empiric and aggressive management can greatly decrease morbidity and mortality despite challenges and limited resources.

Obesity is thought to correlate very strongly with individuals general lifestyles. This study was conducted to determine whether lifestyle patterns were potential risk factors for morbid obesity in Saudi residents.This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in Unaizah City, Qassim Region, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, over a 1-year period from March 2013 to March 2014. The study included 646 residents from the general public of Unaizah who were selected by convenient sampling at a mall and a public sector university, regardless of age and gender, and were given questionnaires regarding the details of their lifestyle patterns. The studied variables included demographic details, dietary habits, physical activity, occupation, body mass index, and unhealthy behavioral habits. The data were collected and statistically analyzed using SPSS version 20.The study population had a mean age of 30.13 ± 12.15 years and comprised 202 (31.3%) male and 444 (68.7%) female subjects. The study subjects were students (39.2%), general public included employed (35.3%), unemployed (23.8%), and others (1.7%). Overall, 79.4% comprised Saudi nationals and the majority (48.3%) had a university-level education. A reasonably high proportion of Saudi subjects were found to have sedentary habits and with physical activity levels far below the standard. Obesity was found in 42% of the study population with low physical activity levels and unhealthy dietary habits. Varying proportions of concomitant hypertension, hyperglycemia, and hypercholesterolemia were also observed in these subjects.Sedentary habits, low physical activity levels in younger populations, and unhealthy dietary habits are major factors causing obesity in the general public as well as in children and adolescents attending school and university. Serious insight into this problem at the governmental level is needed to improve the overall activity level and avoidance of a sedentary lifestyle by projecting the importance of a healthy lifestyle.

Understanding health informatics (HI) publication trends in Saudi Arabia may serve as a framework for future research efforts and contribute toward meeting national "e-Health" goals. The authors' intention was to understand the state of the HI field in Saudi Arabia by exploring publication trends and their alignment with national goals.A scoping review was performed to identify HI publications from Saudi Arabia in PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science. We analyzed publication trends based on topics, keywords, and how they align with the Ministry of Health's (MOH's) "digital health journey" framework.The total number of publications included was 242. We found 1 (0.4%) publication in 1995-1999, 11 (4.5%) publications in 2000-2009, and 230 (95.0%) publications in 2010-2019. We categorized publications into 3 main HI fields and 4 subfields: 73.1% (n=177) of publications were in clinical informatics (85.1%, n=151 medical informatics; 5.6%, n=10 pharmacy informatics; 6.8%, n=12 nursing informatics; 2.3%, n=4 dental informatics); 22.3% (n=54) were in consumer health informatics; and 4.5% (n=11) were in public health informatics. The most common keyword was "medical informatics" (21.5%, n=52). MOH framework-based analysis showed that most publications were categorized as "digitally enabled care" and "digital health foundations."The years of 2000-2009 may be seen as an infancy stage of the HI field in Saudi Arabia. Exploring how the Saudi Arabian MOH's e-Health initiatives may influence research is valuable for advancing the field. Data exchange and interoperability, artificial intelligence, and intelligent health enterprises might be future research directions in Saudi Arabia.

Tuberculosis is a global health challenge due to its spreading potential. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) faces a challenge in the spread of tuberculosis from migrant workers, but the foremost threat is the huge number of pilgrims who travel to visit sacred sites of the Islamic world located in the holy cities of Makkah and Al Madina. Pilgrims visit throughout the year but especially in the months of Ramadan and Zul-Hijah. The rise of resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis is an established global phenomenon that makes such large congregations likely hotspots in the dissemination and spread of disease at a global level. Although very stringent and effective measures exist, the threat remains due to the ever-changing dynamics of this highly pathogenic disease. This overview primarily highlights the current public health challenges posed by this disease to the Saudi health system, which needs to be highlighted not only to the concerned authorities of KSA, but also to the concerned global quarters since the pilgrims and migrants come from all parts of the world with a majority coming from high tuberculosis-burdened countries.

Introduction The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS) are worldwide public health issues. Since Saudi Arabia is growing more accessible to the outside world, it is critical to analyze the general population's knowledge of HIV/AIDS transmission modes and attitudes toward HIV/AIDS infected people, and the level of HIV/AIDS awareness. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the knowledge of HIV/AIDS transmission modes and attitudes toward HIV/AIDS infected people, as well as the level of HIV/AIDS awareness among the general population in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Methods The current online community-based cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted among the general population of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia using a self-administrated electronic questionnaire between October 2017 and February 2018. A score &lt;3 was considered a negative response. In contrast, scores of 3 and 4 were considered positive responses. The sum score of each outcome was evaluated according to Bloom's cutoff point. The scores for knowledge and attitude were transformed into mean percentage scores by dividing the sum scores obtained by the respondents by the number of items multiplied by 100. Consequently, the overall mean percentage of scores for each category of knowledge and attitude at 60% and above was considered a good level, whereas &lt;60% was deemed a poor level. Results A total of 2,081 subjects residing in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia participated in this survey. The mean score of the participant's responses to knowledge items on HIV/AIDS transmission modes was 84.2 ± 15.8%. The mean score of the participant's responses to attitude items toward HIV/AIDS infected people was 50.1 ± 49.9%. The mean score of the participant's responses to attitude items toward the level of HIV/AIDS awareness in Saudi Arabia was 55.7 ± 3.6%. Many socio-demographic variables were significantly associated with mean scores of knowledge of HIV/AIDS transmission modes, mean scores of attitude toward HIV/AIDS infected people, and mean scores of attitude toward the level of HIV/AIDS awareness ( P- value ≤ 0.05). The Spearman rank correlation explained significant negative linear correlations between knowledge of HIV/AIDS transmission modes-attitudes toward HIV/AIDS infected people and knowledge of HIV/AIDS transmission modes-attitudes toward the level of HIV/AIDS awareness of r = −0.040 and r = −0.070, respectively ( P -value ≤ 0.05). Otherwise, there was a positive linear correlation between attitudes toward HIV/AIDS infected people-attitudes toward the level of HIV/AIDS awareness (r = 0.080, P -value = 0.072). Conclusions The study showed that a high percentage of the respondents had good knowledge of HIV/AIDS transmission modes. However, a low rate of the study respondents had positive attitudes toward HIV/AIDS infected people and the level of HIV/AIDS awareness among the general population in Saudi Arabia. Therefore, there is a dire need for advocacy campaigns and policies to help reduce HIV stigmatization levels.

Epidemiological studies from Europe and North America have provided evidence that exposure to air pollution can aggravate symptoms in asthmatic patients.Daily number of AEDv, air pollution levels (PM10, PM2.5, SO2, NO2 and CO) and meteorological variables was obtained from Jubail Industrial City, Saudi Arabia, for the period of 2007-11. Data were analyzed using a time-series approach. Relative risks (RRs) were estimated using Poisson regression.The associations between AEDv and PM10, PM2.5, SO2 and NO2 remained positive and statistically significant after mutual adjustment in the multi-pollutant model.The RR of AEDv increased by 5.4, 4.4, 3.4 and 2.2% per an inter-quartile range increase in SO2 (2.0 ppb), PM2.5 (36 μg/m3), NO2 (7.6 ppb) and PM10 (140 μg/m3), respectively. No significant associations between AEDv and CO were found.Current levels of ambient air pollution are associated with AEDv in this industrial setting in the Middle East. Greater awareness of environmental health protection and the implementation of effective measures to improve the quality of air in such settings would be beneficial to public health.

Few studies have addressed the awareness of the family physicians' (FPs) role and its impact on the quality of primary healthcare. This study aims to explore public's perception and satisfaction on the role and services provided by FPs in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA).An online survey was conducted using a convenience sample of 830 participants age 18 years and above from Jazan region, KSA. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS including descriptive studies and Chi-square or Fisher's exact test.A total of 830 valid responses were analyzed, of which 55.1% were females. The median age of respondents was 32.5 years (range 18-75 years). Most of the respondents (90.2%) did not have a regular FP. A considerable proportion of the participants were aware of the principles (81.2%) and essential role of family medicine (73.3%), health conditions that FPs can treat (59.9%), and conditions they do not treat (n = 622, 74.9%). The majority agreed on the value of involving FPs in their care (76.7%), the priority of FPs in the action of health-seeking (58.9%), and the sufficiency of FPs' expertise (55.5%). However, only 28.3% had a positive experience with FPs. In addition, 59.8% preferred to first seek healthcare from specialists from other specialties.In general, participants in this study had good perception of the role of FPs as important components in the healthcare system. However, there may be some gaps in the physician-patient communication which may contribute to the dissatisfaction reported by most of the present sample.

Background and objective Patients' rights are an essential aspect of human rights. Thus, in Saudi Arabia, the Ministry of National Guard Health Affairs (MNGHA) established a Patients' Bill of Rights (PBR) and introduced it to the public about 30 years ago. This study aims to assess levels of awareness of PBR and to identify their information sources among visitors to primary healthcare centers (PHCCs). Methods This cross-sectional study included 358 visitors, aged 17 to 78, to three PHCCs at the National Guard Hospital in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The study was conducted between April and December 2017 using a self-administered questionnaire. The initial sample (convenience sampling) was refined to match the proportion of participants with the relative size of populations served by the centers. Descriptive statistics were used to determine the relationships between participants' demographic data and levels of awareness of patients' rights. Results Most participants (72.2%) were moderately aware of their rights, but the majority (65.3%) were unaware of the existence of the PBR. Healthcare providers were the main information source for patients' rights, although participants with the highest awareness scores obtained information from social media. Level of awareness was significantly associated with education, income, and regular hospital follow-ups. Conclusions The study results should motivate healthcare providers, stakeholders, and health organizations in Saudi Arabia to raise and maintain public awareness of patients' rights and to implement them.

Background Physical inactivity is a major health issue in Saudi Arabia (SA). Being physically active can improve overall health and prevent the risk of noncommunicable diseases and their consequences. The objective of this study was to assess the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of primary health care physicians in SA toward physical activity (PA) and identify the correlates of PA counseling provided by physicians. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted in four main cities of Eastern Province, SA (Al-Khobar, Dammam, Qatif, and Safwa). A total of 147 physicians (44%) filled out self-reported surveys that were used in the assessment of the aims. Results Overall, 59.9% of the physicians believed that PA promotion to patients was their responsibility, and 53.7% of the physicians felt confident in their ability to provide PA counseling. However, the physicians indicated that lack of time, inadequate referral services for PA, and inadequate training in PA counseling are barriers to providing PA counseling to their patients. Only 5.4% of the physicians had excellent knowledge about PA recommendations. Female physicians were more likely to promote PA than male physicians (OR, 3.72; 95% CI, 1.10–12.58; P = .03) and more likely to assess PA in pediatric patients (OR, 2.61; 95% CI, 1.03–6.61; P = .04). Compared to other specialties, family physicians were more likely to provide general PA counseling to patients without chronic diseases (OR, 8.86; 95% CI, 1.86–42.13; P = .006). Physicians who saw fewer adult patients were more likely to systematically track/follow-up on the PA of patients (OR, 3.13; 95% CI, 1.14–8.58; P = .03) and to promote PA to pediatric patients (OR, 2.87; 95% CI, 1.37–6.00; P = .005). Conclusions Training medical staff in PA counseling and strengthening the health care workforce and infrastructure can help physicians improve their counseling practice.

More than 2 million Muslim pilgrims from around 180 countries congregate annually in Saudi Arabia for the Hajj religious mass gathering. This event can potentially affect global health security because of the possibility that infectious agents will spread beyond Saudi Arabia via returning pilgrims. The Hajj Health Requirements are a set of health conditions for individuals intending to do the Hajj pilgrimage aimed at preventing communicable diseases.1Alqarni H Memish ZA Assiri AM Health conditions for travellers to Saudi Arabia for the pilgrimage to Mecca (Hajj)–2015.J Epidemiol Glob Health. 2015; (published online July 13.)https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jegh.2015.07.001Summary Full Text Full Text PDF Scopus (22) Google Scholar Historically, these illnesses were the largest cause of morbidity and mortality during the event, but non-communicable diseases are now the major burden. For instance, cardiovascular diseases now cause up to 64% of admissions to intensive care units and 46–66% of deaths among pilgrims during Hajj.2Pane M Imari S Alwi Q Nyoman K-I Cook AR Samaan G Causes of mortality for Indonesian Hajj Pilgrims: comparison between routine death certificate and verbal autopsy findings.PLoS One. 2013; 8: e73243Crossref PubMed Scopus (27) Google Scholar, 3Madani TA Ghabrah TM Albarrak AM et al.Causes of admission to intensive care units in the Hajj period of the Islamic year 1424 (2004).Ann Saudi Med. 2007; 27: 101-105Crossref PubMed Google Scholar, 4Al Shimemeri A Cardiovascular disease in Hajj pilgrims.J Saudi Heart Assoc. 2012; 24: 123-127Summary Full Text Full Text PDF Scopus (32) Google Scholar Despite this shift in priority, the Hajj Health Requirements remain unchanged, focused only on communicable disease prevention with no measures to reduce the burden of non-communicable diseases. Pre-Hajj medical status and individual pilgrims' characteristics have a direct effect on morbidity, and both the pattern and outcome of hospital admission during Hajj.2Pane M Imari S Alwi Q Nyoman K-I Cook AR Samaan G Causes of mortality for Indonesian Hajj Pilgrims: comparison between routine death certificate and verbal autopsy findings.PLoS One. 2013; 8: e73243Crossref PubMed Scopus (27) Google Scholar, 5Afshin-Nia F Dehkordi HM Fazel MR Ghanei M How to reduce cardiovascular mortality and morbidity among Hajj Pilgrims: a multiphasic screening, intervention and assessment.Ann Saudi Med. 1999; 19: 55-57PubMed Google Scholar Hence, we echo previous calls for pre-Hajj health screening for individuals2Pane M Imari S Alwi Q Nyoman K-I Cook AR Samaan G Causes of mortality for Indonesian Hajj Pilgrims: comparison between routine death certificate and verbal autopsy findings.PLoS One. 2013; 8: e73243Crossref PubMed Scopus (27) Google Scholar, 4Al Shimemeri A Cardiovascular disease in Hajj pilgrims.J Saudi Heart Assoc. 2012; 24: 123-127Summary Full Text Full Text PDF Scopus (32) Google Scholar, 5Afshin-Nia F Dehkordi HM Fazel MR Ghanei M How to reduce cardiovascular mortality and morbidity among Hajj Pilgrims: a multiphasic screening, intervention and assessment.Ann Saudi Med. 1999; 19: 55-57PubMed Google Scholar to select those deemed fit to undertake Hajj based on medically informed, evidence-based, and well formulated criteria. Such a health fitness test would screen pilgrims for risk factors, determine how well their chronic diseases are managed, and identify and exclude those with severe health conditions from undertaking the pilgrimage. Similar health screenings have been implemented in a number of countries, and have resulted in substantial reductions in rates of both hospital admission and mortality during Hajj.4Al Shimemeri A Cardiovascular disease in Hajj pilgrims.J Saudi Heart Assoc. 2012; 24: 123-127Summary Full Text Full Text PDF Scopus (32) Google Scholar, 5Afshin-Nia F Dehkordi HM Fazel MR Ghanei M How to reduce cardiovascular mortality and morbidity among Hajj Pilgrims: a multiphasic screening, intervention and assessment.Ann Saudi Med. 1999; 19: 55-57PubMed Google Scholar Pilgrims with serious disease or high-risk health conditions are participating in the event at a great risk to their own health and a substantial burden for the country. For example, pilgrims with severe cardiovascular diseases, kidney failure requiring dialysis or women in the late stages of pregnancy are allowed to attend Hajj. During the 2015 Hajj, 2200 kidney dialysis procedures, 27 open heart surgeries, and 688 cardiac catheterisation operations were done, in addition to seven birth deliveries. In view of the above, we call for a pragmatic review of the Hajj Health Requirements to extend beyond communicable disease prevention, and for a serious discussion among all stakeholders, both national and international, on whether certain pilgrims should be prevented from going to the Hajj pilgrimage on medical grounds for their own safety as well as to reduce morbidity, mortality, and associated burden. From a religious point of view, the Hajj is only required for those physically and financially able to perform it. We declare no competing interests. Mephedrone use is increasing in LondonThe UK Psychoactive Substances Act 2016, which received Royal Assent on Jan 28, 2016,1 aims to eradicate the market in new psychoactive substances, but we question how effective the banning of these drugs might be.

COVID-19 was declared a public health emergency of global concern by the World Health Organization (WHO) on January 30, 2020. Vaccination is one of the most effective methods for halting the pandemic and preventing complications. Vaccine hesitancy is a possible threat to global public health. Understanding the key determinants that influence the community's preferences and demands for a future vaccine may aid in the development of strategies to improve the global vaccination program. The aim of this study was to assess the beliefs, barriers, and acceptance of COVID-19 vaccination among Taif University students in Saudi Arabia.This was a descriptive cross-sectional study, based study in Taif University, Saudi Arabia. Data was collected using a designed self-administered questionnaire that was shared as a link through social media. 332 students were considered eligible to participate voluntarily. Data were analyzed using the (SPSS) program version 25.Out of 332 participants, 278 (83.7%) were accepting to take the covid vaccine, while 54 (16.3%) refused. Believes in vaccine safety and effectiveness and trust in the ability of the vaccine to prevent the complication, were all associated with high acceptance rate. Fear about side effects is considered a major factor for vaccination refusal.Most of the participants have the willingness to be vaccinated. The majority of students who agreed to take the vaccine were in the medical field, and that is mostly due to their high knowledge exposure. This indicates the importance of raising the awareness of the non-medical students.

Raising the prices of cigarettes is a common intervention to control tobacco use. In June 2017, Saudi Arabia imposed a 100% excise tax on tobacco products and energy drinks.This study aimed to evaluate the impact of the increase in prices on tobacco products and the resulting cigarette smoking behaviour in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia before and after the increase in tobacco product prices.This cross-sectional study was conducted between December 2017 and March 2018 in Saudi Arabian smokers aged 18 years and more. A validated questionnaire was distributed to a convenience sample in public places and through Twitter. The McNemar matched pairs chi-squared test was used to evaluate the self-reported difference in cigarette smoking before and after the tax came into effect. Binary logistic regression analysis was done to identify the socioeconomic and health factors associated with stopping smoking.In all, 376 participants (80.0% men) completed the questionnaire. A large proportion of the participants (39.6%) reported no change in their smoking behaviour after the tax was imposed, whereas 29.8% switched to cheaper brands. Before the tax, 154 participants smoked 15 cigarettes or more a day; this figure decreased to 134 after the tax (McNemar test, P < 0.001). Respondents who were married, unemployed, had a higher income or who rated their health as fair were significantly more likely to have stopped smoking after the tax.The sharp increase in cigarette prices in Saudi Arabia has led to a statistically significant reduction in smoking. Future research should assess the long-term effects of this intervention on smoking onset, prevalence and relapse.سلوك التدخين بعد تطبيق الضرائب بنسبة 100٪ على منتجات التبغ في المملكة العربية السعودية: دراسة شاملة لعدة قطاعات.عبد الرحمن الغامدي، أنس فلاتة، فهد عوكل، طاهر فلمبان، محمد الدقير ، هند المديميغ.يُعد رفع سعر السجائر أحد التدخلات الشائعة لمكافحة تعاطي التبغ. وفي يونيو/حزيران 2017، فرضت المملكة العربية السعودية ضريبة بمقدار 100٪ على منتجات التبغ والمشروبات السكرية.هدفت هذه الدراسة إلى تقييم أثر رفع أسعار السجائر على سلوك التدخين الذي ينتهجه المدخنون السعوديون في جدة، المملكة العربية السعودية.أُجريت دراسة شاملة لعدة قطاعات في الفترة بين ديسمبر/كانون الأول 2017 ومارس/آذار 2018 بشأن المدخنين السعوديين البالغين 18 عاماً فما فوق. ووُزع استبيان مُتحقق منه على عينة ملائمة في الأماكن العامة ومن خلال تويتر. واستُخدمت الأزواج المتطابقة لاختبار كاي χ² (ماكنمار) لتقييم الاختلاف في معدلات تدخين السجائر قبل فرض الزيادة الضريبية وبعدها. وأُجري تحليل الانحدار اللوجستي الثنائي لتحديد العوامل الاجتماعية الاقتصادية والصحية المرتبطة بالإقلاع عن التدخين.بلغ مجموع المشاركين الذين استكملوا الاستبيان 376 شخصاً (80٪ من الرجال). وأفادت نسبة كبيرة من المشاركين (39.6٪) بأن سلوك التدخين لديهم لم يتغير بعد فرض الضرائب، بينما تحول 29.8٪ منهم إلى أنواع أرخص سعراً. وقبل فرض الضرائب، كان أكثر من 154 شخصاً من المشاركين يدخنون أكثر من 15 سيجارةً يومياً؛ ولكن بعد فرض الضرائب انخفض هذا العدد إلى 134 شخصاً (القيمة الاحتمالية < 0.0001). ومن بين المستجيبين للاستبيان، كان المرجح بصورة أكبر أن يقلع عن التدخين عقب فرض الضرائب المتزوجون، أو العاطلون عن العمل، أو أصحاب الدخل الأعلى، أو الذين قيَّموا حالتهم الصحية بأنها متوسطة.أدت الزيادة الكبيرة في أسعار السجائر في المملكة العربية السعودية إلى انخفاض التدخين انخفاضاً كبيراً. وعلى البحوث التي تُرى في المستقبل أن تراعي الآثار الطويلة الأمد لهذا التدخل على بدء التدخين، وانتشاره، وحالات الانتكاس بعد الإقلاع عنه.Comportement tabagique après l'entrée en vigueur d'une taxe de 100 % sur les produits du tabac en Arabie saoudite : étude transversale.La hausse du prix des cigarettes est une mesure couramment mise en place dans la lutte antitabac. En juin 2017, l'Arabie saoudite a imposé un droit d’accise de 100 % sur les produits du tabac et les boissons énergisantes.La présente étude avait pour objectif d'évaluer l’impact de la hausse des prix des produits du tabac et le comportement tabagique qui en résulte à Djeddah (Arabie saoudite) avant et après cette augmentation des prix.Il s’agissait d’une étude transversale qui a été menée entre décembre 2017 et mars 2018 auprès de fumeurs saoudiens de 18 ans et plus. Un questionnaire validé a été distribué à un échantillon de commodité dans les lieux publics et sur Twitter. Le test χ² de McNemar pour les paires concordantes a été utilisé pour évaluer le changement de comportement en matière de tabagisme par cigarettes avant et après l'entrée en vigueur de la taxe. L’analyse de régression logistique binaire a été utilisée pour identifier les facteurs socio-économiques et sanitaires associés au sevrage tabagique.Au total, 376 participants (80 % d'hommes) ont rempli le questionnaire. Une proportion importante des participants (39,6 %) n'a rapporté aucun changement dans leur comportement tabagique après l'application de la taxe, tandis que 29,8 % des participants se sont tournés vers des marques moins chères. Avant l'entrée en vigueur de la taxe, 154 participants fumaient plus de 15 cigarettes par jour ; ce nombre est passé à 134 suite à l'imposition de la taxe (p < 0,0001). Les personnes interrogées qui étaient mariées, sans emploi, avaient des revenus élevés ou s'estimaient en bonne santé étaient plus susceptibles d'avoir arrêté de fumer après l'entrée en vigueur de la taxe.La hausse marquée du prix des cigarettes en Arabie saoudite a entraîné une réduction du tabagisme statistiquement significative. Les futures études devraient évaluer les effets à long terme de cette mesure sur la mise en place du tabagisme, la prévalence du tabagisme par cigarettes et les rechutes.

No willingness-to-pay (WTP) per quality-adjusted life-year (QALY) value exists for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). The primary objective of this study was to determine the WTP for a QALY in the KSA. Adult citizens of the KSA, patients with cancer, or members of the general public (MGP) were recruited to participate in a time trade-off survey to elicit health utilities. Cancer was chosen as the disease of interest for patients and the MGP, with a scenario describing stage 3 colorectal cancer, because it is a disease condition that impacts on both quality of life and survival time. In a second step, respondents were asked about their WTP to move from the estimated health state to a state of perfect health for 1 year (QALY). Finally, that amount was processed to generate the WTP for a full QALY. The second step was repeated with a 5-year horizon. Sensitivity analyses were performed without outliers. From 400 participants, data from 378 subjects were obtained and usable: 177 patients, 201 MGP; 278 male, 100 female subjects; 231 aged 26–65 years. Demographic distribution varied widely between the two subgroups for age, education level, and employment status, but with less variation in sex and income. Elicited health utilities were 0.413 (0.472 after adjustment) for the overall group, 0.316 (0.416) for patients, and 0.499 (0.508) for MGP. Overall WTP for a QALY was $US25,600 (adjusted $US32,000) for the 1-year horizon and $US19,200 (adjusted $US22,720) for the 5-year horizon. This was the first empirical attempt to estimate the WTP per QALY for the KSA. Results are comparable to those in some other countries and to gross domestic product figures for the KSA. Further research in a country-wide sample is warranted.

Background: Thyroid disorders are worldwide common endocrine disorders. These disorders are frequently under-diagnosed. In general, lack of knowledge and understanding of thyroid disorder effects can lead patients to go undiagnosed. This study aims to figure out the level of the general knowledge about thyroid disease manifestations, risk factors, and preventive behaviors among the general population. Method: This cross-sectional study was conducted among 882 participants in the Eastern province of Saudi Arabia from July 2020 to October 2020, and were selected randomly. The representative sample included Saudi and non-Saudi males and females of different age groups (18-60 years). Result: The overall mean knowledge score was 8.67 (SD 3.69) with 44.7%, 41.2%, and 14.2% were classified into low, average, and high knowledge, respectively. In the comparison of mean knowledge score among the socio-demographic profiles and previous history of thyroid disease, the current study shows that being a female, living in Al Ahsa, being a student, those with a previous history of thyroid disease, family history of the disease, and those who underwent thyroid gland examination were significantly more associated with having better knowledge toward thyroid diseases. Conclusion: Nearly, half of the studied sample has low awareness scores regarding thyroid disease manifestations and its risk factors. The health authorities should hold more successful health education methods to improve the public and their caregivers' awareness of the various aspects of thyroid disorders and the value of their early detection and adequate control.
