  • Global Health Data Exchange

    Description

    The Global Health Data Exchange (GHDx) is a catalog that provides relevant data on population health. The catalog contains surveys, censuses, vital statistics, and other health-related data. The GHDx was created by the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluations (IHME), an independent global health research center at the University of Washington. The GHDx is a place where information about data is brought together, discussed, and featured in the context of health and demographic research. The GHDx raises awareness about different groups collecting data worldwide and provides standardized citations to encourage appropriate acknowledgment of data owners’ contributions.

    Description

    Through a systematic review, this study collected published and unpublished data on human parainfluenza virus (hPIV) burden to estimate the global and regional number of hPIV-associated acute lower respiratory infections (ALRI) cases, hospitalizations, and mortality by children under five years (stratified 0–5 months, 6–11 months, and 12–59 months) for 2018. The datasets include incidence rates of hPIV-associated ALRI, hospitalization rates of hPIV-associated ALRI, hospitalization rates of hPIV with hypoxemia, in-hospital case fatality ratios of hPIV-associated ALRI, and proportion positives of hPIV in hospitalized ALRI. The data was collected to help guide health investment priorities and resource allocation to accelerate the development of targeted prevention and treatment interventions.
