Receiving postnatal care within 48 hours is associated with higher odds of exclusive breastfeeding, but the overall effects of maternal health services on breastfeeding practices are inconsistent.

Receiving a PNC within 48 hours of delivery was significantly associated with 70% higher odds of exclusive breastfeeding in BDHS 2022 sample, AOR: 1.70, 95% CI [1.21, 2.39].

In this study, 21% of PLHIV acquired experimental pneumococcal carriage, which is lower than the 36% in HIV-uninfected controls, suggesting that prolonged carriage duration may be a key factor in high carriage rates among PLHIV.

Adjusted odds ratio for carriage acquisition in PLHIV was 0·39 (95% CI 0·16-0·91).
