abstract: 'Author summary Why was this study done? The biggest contributor to the
|
||||
|
||||
global burden of infectious disease in childhood in developing countries
|
||||
|
||||
is mortality due to respiratory and diarrhoeal infections, both of which
|
||||
|
||||
are closely linked to deficient water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH)
|
||||
|
||||
availability and use by households.Multiple systematic reviews and
|
||||
|
||||
meta-analyses of WASH-related morbidity have been conducted, but there
|
||||
|
||||
is a shortage of rigorous, systematic evidence on the effectiveness of
|
||||
|
||||
WASH interventions in reducing mortality. What did the researchers do
|
||||
|
||||
and find? We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of the
|
||||
|
||||
impacts of WASH interventions on all-cause and diarrhoea-related
|
||||
|
||||
mortality in L\&MICs, incorporating evidence from 35 studies comprising
|
||||
|
||||
48 distinct WASH intervention arms.We found significant effects on
|
||||
|
||||
all-cause mortality among children aged under 5 of interventions to
|
||||
|
||||
improve the quantity of water available (34\% reduction), hygiene
|
||||
|
||||
promotion when water supplies were accessible to households (29\%
|
||||
|
||||
reduction), and community-wide sanitation (21\% reduction).We also found
|
||||
|
||||
significant effects of WASH interventions on diarrhoea mortality among
|
||||
|
||||
under 5s (45\% reduction), which were significantly larger when provided
|
||||
|
||||
to communities that were at the lowest rungs of the sanitation ladder,
|
||||
|
||||
compared to those that already had improved WASH. What do these findings
|
||||
|
||||
mean? Interventions to prevent water-related mortality in childhood in
|
||||
|
||||
endemic disease circumstances provide adequate water supplies to
|
||||
|
||||
households, enabling domestic hygiene and safe excreta disposal in the
|
||||
|
||||
household and community.Systematic reviews can provide new evidence for
|
||||
|
||||
decision making, but the approach we present is reliant on trial authors
|
||||
|
||||
and journals adhering to agreed standards of reporting.
|
||||
|
||||
BackgroundIn low- and middle-income countries (L\&MICs), the biggest
|
||||
|
||||
contributing factors to the global burden of disease in childhood are
|
||||
|
||||
deaths due to respiratory illness and diarrhoea, both of which are
|
||||
|
||||
closely related to use of water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) services
|
||||
|
||||
by households. However, current estimates of the health impacts of WASH
|
||||
|
||||
interventions use self-reported morbidity, which may fail to capture
|
||||
|
||||
longer-term or more severe impacts. Reported mortality is thought to be
|
||||
|
||||
less prone to bias than other reported measures. This study aimed to
|
||||
|
||||
answer the question: What are the impacts of WASH interventions on
|
||||
|
||||
reported childhood mortality in L\&MICs? Methods and findingsWe
|
||||
|
||||
conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis, using a published
|
||||
|
||||
protocol. Systematic searches of 11 academic databases and trial
|
||||
|
||||
registries, plus organisational repositories, were undertaken to locate
|
||||
|
||||
studies of WASH interventions, which were published in peer review
|
||||
|
||||
journals or other sources (e.g., organisational reports and working
|
||||
|
||||
papers). Intervention studies of WASH improvements implemented under
|
||||
|
||||
endemic disease circumstances in L\&MICs were eligible, which reported
|
||||
|
||||
findings at any time until March 2020. We used the participant flow data
|
||||
|
||||
supplied in response to journal editors'' calls for greater transparency.
|
||||
|
||||
Data were collected by two authors working independently.We included
|
||||
|
||||
evidence from 24 randomized and 11 nonrandomized studies of WASH
|
||||
|
||||
interventions from all global regions, incorporating 2,600 deaths.
|
||||
|
||||
Effects of 48 WASH treatment arms were included in analysis. We
|
||||
|
||||
critically appraised and synthesised evidence using meta-analysis to
|
||||
|
||||
improve statistical power. We found WASH interventions are associated
|
||||
|
||||
with a significant reduction of 17\% in the odds of all-cause mortality
|
||||
|
||||
in childhood (OR = 0.83, 95\% CI = 0.74, 0.92, evidence from 38
|
||||
|
||||
interventions), and a significant reduction in diarrhoea mortality of
|
||||
|
||||
45\% (OR = 0.55, 95\% CI = 0.35, 0.84; 10 interventions).Further
|
||||
|
||||
analysis by WASH technology indicated interventions providing improved
|
||||
|
||||
water in quantity to households were most consistently associated with
|
||||
|
||||
reductions in all-cause mortality. Community-wide sanitation was most
|
||||
|
||||
consistently associated with reductions in diarrhoea mortality. Around
|
||||
|
||||
one-half of the included studies were assessed as being at ``moderate
|
||||
|
||||
risk of bias{''''} in attributing mortality in childhood to the WASH
|
||||
|
||||
intervention, and no studies were found to be at ``low risk of bias.{''''}
|
||||
|
||||
The review should be updated to incorporate additional published and
|
||||
|
||||
unpublished participant flow data. ConclusionsThe findings are congruent
|
||||
|
||||
with theories of infectious disease transmission. Washing with water
|
||||
|
||||
presents a barrier to respiratory illness and diarrhoea, which are the
|
||||
|
||||
two biggest contributors to all-cause mortality in childhood in L\&MICs.
|
||||
|
||||
Community-wide sanitation halts the spread of diarrhoea. We observed
|
||||
|
||||
that evidence synthesis can provide new findings, going beyond the
|
||||
|
||||
underlying data from trials to generate crucial insights for policy.
|
||||
|
||||
Transparent reporting in trials creates opportunities for research
|
||||
|
||||
synthesis to answer questions about mortality, which individual studies
|
||||
|
||||
of interventions cannot be reliably designed to address.'
