Abstract

Typhoid fever (is also called enteric fever) is a bacterial disease spread through contaminated food, water or close contact. However, where it is prevalence government usually recommend vaccines to curtail its deadly spreading in the affected area. The fever is caused by Salmonella typhi bacteria. Therefore, we had adopted the Buys Ballot approach by using time series analysis for the estimation of trend of typhoid fever disease from the year 2011 to 2020 and predicts the future occurrence of the disease in Mubi South Local Government Area (LGA) of Adamawa State, Nigeria. However, based on the data used the result shows that there is significant increase in the recorded cases of typhoid fever disease, it has forecasted and predicted that more number of people may be affected in future compared to the study results obtained. Hence, this study has given some recommendations in order to reduce the prevalence of typhoid fever disease in future

Abstract

Under-Five Mortality rate refers to the probability a new-born would die before reaching exactly 5 years of age, expressed per 1,000 or 100,000 live births. The Five Child-Killer Diseases used in this study are Pneumonia, Diarrhoea, Measles, Tetanus and Polio. The study used Ex post facto design with quantitative approach. A secondary data of the Five-Child Killer Diseases and Under-Five Mortality were obtained from the twenty-one (21) Local Government Primary Health Care Development Agency in Adamawa State between the periods of 2008 to 2022. The study measured the mortality rate due to the Five Child-Killer Diseases and its Cause-effect on the Overall Under-Five Mortality Irrespective of Diseases in the study area and then develop a model for future prediction. Based on the finding, the Overall Under-Five Mortality rate increases from 112 to 314 deaths per thousand live births between 2008 and 2012, followed by a sudden decrease from 261 to 90 deaths from 2013 to 2016 and then fluctuate throughout the rest of the period under review.  Individually, the largest contributor of Under-Five Mortality among the Five Child-killer Diseases is Diarrhea with 89 deaths per thousand live births in 2011, followed by Measles with 39 deaths in the same year. The regression model revealed a positive and insignificant causal relationship between deaths due to Pneumonia, Diarrhoea and Measles on Overall Under-Five Mortality in the study area. The regression model also explained that; at zero deaths due to the Five Child-Killer Diseases, the Overall Under-Five Mortality is more than 105 deaths in the study area.
