9 Dr Vilada Chansamouth Epi MSc LSHTM Pak Gnum Pregnancy cohort study Very high maternal mortality in Laos 405/100,000 live births Aims: to determine the incidence of febrile diseases in pregnant women and to investigate their causes and impact on mothers and babies A community based prospective cohort study N=1,000 in a rural district of Vientiane for 18 months As complete a diagnostic workup as possible, including flu with US CDC support at NCLE Using the experience of this cohort study we hope to extend to a larger sample size for a longer duration
10 Neglected health problems rural Asian tropics Toad poisoning Wild banana intestinal obstruction Infantile beriberi Noma = cancrum oris Mushroom poisoning Trichinosis Eosinophilic meningitis Fishing! drowning, cercarial itch, sepsis Motorbikes more dangerous than mosquitos? Pesticides and suicide
11 Diabetes in Laos Very few data anecdotally an increasing problem. Only one formally trained diabetologist ~18% of 504 people aged > 60 years failed OGTT in rural southern Laos (Suzuki et al. 2006) As part of large random survey of urbanisation in Vientiane City (2006) 2,031 adults aged >35 years, based on fasting blood glucose = 9.25% (Paboliboun 2006) How should diabetes be optimally managed in Laos?

14 67% of Lao households operate farmland Average farmland/family 1.6 ha Rice farmed on 65% of holdings, only 14% are able to plant 2 crops/year 25% grow other cereals, 14% roots and tubers, 3 % legumes, 37% vegetables
15 Focusing our work on farmers health Aetiology and impact, economic and societal, of health problems Infectious diseases Nutritional diseases Back pain Accidents Diabetes Neglected issues such as bananas, toads, pesticides, mushrooms Health seeking behaviour, medicine quality, risk assessments Optimum public engagement Through three cohort studies of farming communities linked to the three Provincial Hospitals we support To inform future interventions
16 Thank you With many thanks for the support of the Government of the Lao PDR, Mahosot Hospital, many colleagues and the Wellcome Trust, University of Oxford & IRD
