Fitzpatrick Department of Family Medicine and Epidemiology Adjunct, Department of Global Health Aim: The study aims to identify the associated risk factors of repeat abortions and post-abortion contraceptive use among women in Pokhara city of Nepal. Background: Nepal legalized abortion in 2002 to promote safer motherhood (7). Safe abortion was attributed to be one of the contributing factors to a sharp decline of maternal mortality and morbidity in the country (9), however, abortion should not be considered an alternative to contraceptive use. Choosing abortions, repeatedly, can be detrimental to women and child health (11, 12). Post-abortion acceptance of contraception is low (41%) in the country and repeat abortion, high (33%) (8,11). Method: This is a prospective cohort study conducted among women who had just received an abortion procedure between January 2015 to April 2015 at three abortion clinics of Pokhara city in Nepal. We recruited 220 women immediately after their abortions to conduct a baseline interview and followed these in-person interviews with a telephone interview two months later to collect information on each woman’s current contraceptive method. Findings: The present study revealed that only half of the post-abortion women use effective contraception after abortion and there is a high prevalence of repeat abortion. The main factors positively influencing use of post-abortion contraception were presence of the woman’s husband in another country and choice of Tier II contraceptive methods. The main risk factors identified for repeat abortion were age and age at first pregnancy. Better educated women were less likely to adopt effective contraceptive measure after abortion. Conclusion: Considering low contraception use after abortion, increasing numbers of abortion, and high incidence of repeat abortion, a well targeted intervention may have substantial effect to reduce risk of unintended pregnancies

Cardiometabolic Risk Factors Among Rural and Non-Rural Adults in Nepal
No full textThesis (Master's)--University of Washington, 2023University of Washington Abstract Cardiometabolic Risk Factors Among Rural and Non-Rural Adults in Nepal Biraj Neupane Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Annette L. Fitzpatrick, PhD
Department of Epidemiology Disparities in cardiometabolic diseases, including heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and kidney disease, have been documented globally across socioeconomic status. While decreasing in high-income nations, cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality and noncommunicable disease (NCD) prevalence have increased in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). The burden of cardiometabolic disorders remains a major concern in Nepal where their distribution in rural and urban areas are poorly understood. We combined data from the Dhulikhel Heart Study (DHS), an observational cohort study representing an urban setting, and the Personalized Health Program (PHP), which collected similar data in four rural regions, to compare the prevalence of selected risk factors for cardiometabolic disease by rural/urban setting in Nepalese adults. We assessed the associations between two outcomes, overweight/obesity and hypertension, with rural/urban residency and selected demographic and lifestyle characteristics of the sample. The data from DHS (N=1061) and PHP (N=3288) were harmonized to provide variables with the same values. Overweight/obesity was defined as BMI > 25 and hypertension was defined as systolic blood pressure > 140 or diastolic blood pressure > 90. Covariates included age, gender, ethnicity, education, marital status, smoking, alcohol use, and physical activity. Multivariable logistic regression was used to evaluate the odds of increased overweight/obesity and hypertension by rural/urban setting adjusted for potential confounders. In adjusted models, living in an urban setting increased the odds of being overweight/obese two-fold (OR:2.14, 95% CI: 1.57-2.93, p<0.001). Increased age, female gender, higher education, being married, Newar ethnicity, and current consumption of alcohol were significant association with being overweight/obese. The odds of having hypertension were also doubled for urban residents (OR:2.12, 95% CI:1.55-2.90, p< 0.001) adjusted for demographic and lifestyle. Gender, age, education, marital status, ethnicity, and physical activity were also significantly associated with hypertension. These results provide insights into the distribution and impact of behavioral and lifestyle-related risk factors on cardiometabolic conditions in different settings in Nepal. The findings may be used to inform targeted interventions and tailored healthcare approaches to address the specific challenges faced by each population

Joan Fitzpatrick: In Memoriam
No full textJoan Fitzpatrick graduated from Harvard Law School in 1975. Women were then beginning to enter the legal profession in increasing numbers, but role models were still important in encouraging women to become equal partners in our profession. Joan was an especially effective role model for our students. I think she realized that. It was one of the things that drove her to excel in everything she did. Joan told me—more than once in fact—that she earned every penny she made. It was a point of pride to her. She was a hard worker whose work yielded very important results. And she was the kind of teacher who would make students think: If Professor Fitzpatrick can do that, then I can also do great and important things. Joan joined our faculty in 1984. In her eighteen years with us, she became an internationally known and respected authority on human rights. She was a primary author or editor of six books, the author or co-author of fourteen book chapters, and the author or co-author of about forty scholarly articles. Joan spoke on issues of international human rights throughout North America and Europe. In the words of one of her admirers, she was brilliant, eloquent, and internationally renowned
