RESUMEN

This article examines the evolution of domestic violence (DV) among Quebec women during the Covid-19 pandemic and the factors associated with this phenomenon. Based on the literature, we observed that DV increased significantly in Quebec during the health crisis. Furthermore, it appears that job loss, which affected more women than men, increased social isolation, deterioration of the mental health of spouses, increased alcohol and cannabis consumption, and difficulties in reconciling work and family life are the factors that contribute most to the increase in DV in Quebec during this period.

RESUMEN

INTRODUCTION: La consommation d'alcool et la consommation de tabac entraînent chacune des risques importants pour la santé. L'objectif de cette étude était d'étudier la prévalence de la co-consommation d'alcool et de tabac ainsi que les facteurs associés dans la commune de Natitingou en 2016. MÉTHODES: Il s'agissait d'une étude transversale à caractère analytique. L'enquête s'est déroulée en octobre 2016 et a porté sur un échantillon de 270 sujets. Elle a été menée selon une technique de sondage aléatoire à plusieurs degrés. Les données collectées ont été analysées avec le logiciel R. RÉSULTATS: Sur les 270 sujets interrogés, 72,2 % étaient des hommes. L'âge moyen était de 30,7 ± 9,2 ans. La prévalence de la co-consommation était de 33,7 % [IC95% : 28,1 %-39,7 %]). Les facteurs associés à la co-consommation d'alcool et de tabac étaient : le sexe masculin (ORa = 2,1 ; p = 0,023), la dipsomanie (ORa = 1,4 ; p = 0,032), le fait d'avoir des amis buveurs ou fumeurs (ORa = 2,8 ; p = 0,004), le fait de suivre les publicités des médias sur les boissons alcoolisées (ORa = 1,9 ; p = 0,029) et le faible coût /accessibilité des deux substances (ORa = 2,1 ; p = 0,011). CONCLUSION: Cette étude a montré qu'il est important de dépasser la prévention centrée sur la personne qui consiste à sensibiliser et à prendre en charge pour adopter des mesures de prévention structurelle (notamment législatives).

RESUMEN

Objectif de l'étude.Préciser, chez les diabétiques, la fréquence et les facteurs associés des troubles neurocognitifs. Patients et Méthode. Une étude cas-témoin menée de janvier à décembre 2020 au Centre Neuro-Psychopathologique de l'Université de Kinshasa. Le diabète sucré (DS) a été diagnostiqué selon les critères biologiques de l'OMS et les fonctions neurocognitives évaluées à l'aide du test de Grober et Buschke après un dépistage avec le community screening interview for dementia (CSI-D). Résultats. Cinquante cas et 50 témoins ont été inclus. La fréquence globale des troubles neurocognitifs était de 58%. L'âge moyen des patients diabétiques atteints de troubles neurocognitifs était de 60,48 ± 6,90 ans avec un sex ratio (H/F) de 0,81. Les troubles neurocognitifs étaient en proportion élevés chez les diabétiques qui avaient un DS évoluant entre 6 et 10 ans. Les troubles mnésiques étaient associées au DS ; OR: 3,58, IC 95% [1,29-5,87], p = 0,003 ; avec prédominance d'amnésie d'évocation (65%). Les troubles neurocognitifs chez les diabétiques étaient influencés par l'âge ≥ 60 ans, l'HTA, le manque de ressource sure de revenue financière, les AVC et la durée du diabète supérieure à 5 ans. Le DS demeurait, après ajustement sur différents facteurs, un facteur de risque des troubles neurocognitifs avec un OR ajusté = 3,63, IC 95% [1,86-6,70] et un p = 0, 0001.Conclusion. Les diabétiques sont plus enclins aux troubles neurocognitifs que les non diabétiques. Des facteurs de risque pouvant influencer la survenue de ces troubles ont été identifiés.

Objective. To specify, in diabetics, the frequency and associated factors of neurocognitive disorders.Patients and Method. A case-control study conducted from January to December 2020 at the Neuro-Psychopathological Center of the University of Kinshasa. Diabetes mellitus (DM) was diagnosed according to WHO biological criteria and neurocognitive functions assessed using the Grober and Buschke test after screening by the community screening interview for dementia (CSI-D).Results. Fifty cases and 50 controls were included. The overall frequency of neurocognitive disorders was 58%. The mean age of diabetic patients with neurocognitive disorders was 60.48 ± 6.90 years with a sex ratio (M/F) of 0.81. Neurocognitive disorders were in high proportion in diabetics who had DM evolving between 6 and 10 years. Memory disorders were associated with DM; OR: 3.58, 95% CI [1.29-5.87], p = 0.003; with predominance of evocation amnesia (65%). Neurocognitive disorders in diabetics were influenced by age ≥ 60 years, hypertension, lack of secure financial income, stroke and duration of diabetes more than 5 years. DM remained, after adjustment for various factors, a risk factor for neurocognitive disorders with an adjusted OR = 3.63, 95% CI [1.86-6.70] and a p = 0.0001.Conclusion. Diabetics are more prone to neurocognitive disorders than non-diabetics. Risk factors that may influence the occurrenceof these disorders have been identified

RESUMEN

Objectif: Le but de cette étude était de rechercher les facteurs associés au haut risque cardiovasculaire chez le patient diabétique présentant une néphropathie diabétique. Méthodes: Il s'agit d'une étude rétrospective transversale descriptive et analytique menée au Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Sylvanus Olympio sur une période de 5 ans (01 janvier 2016 au 31 Décembre 2020). Résultats: Au total 610 patients étaient inclus. Le sex-ratio (H/F) était de 1,2 et l'âge moyen de 57,9 ±13,9ans.L'hypertension artérielle (HTA) était la comorbidité la plus retrouvée (74,8%). Le très haut risque cardiovasculaire était prédominant (72,1%). En analyse multivariée, les facteurs associés au risque cardiovasculaire chez les patients présentant une néphropathie diabétique étaient l'âge supérieure à 58 ans (aOR : 1,75; IC à 95%:[1,12-2,81]), le sexe masculin (aOR : 1,23; IC à 95%: [1,1-1,69]), l'HTA (aOR : 1,55; IC à 95%: [1,21-2,17]), l'ancienneté du diabète (aOR : 2,05; IC à 95%: [1,55-6,62]), la dyslipidémie (aOR : 1,97; IC à 95%: [1,22-5,84]), les complications microangiopathiques (aOR : 1,99 ; IC à 95%: [1,25-2,47]) et l'albuminurie des 24h (aOR : 2,01 ; IC à 95%: [1,24-2,65]). Conclusion: Cette étude montre une forte prédominance du très haut risque cardiovasculaire au cours de la néphropathie diabétique avec de nombreux facteurs associés. Il demeure important de maitriser ces facteurs pour ralentir la progression de la maladie rénale.

RESUMEN

INTRODUCTION: Sexual violence can be followed by different levels of gynecological care. Our objective was to characterise gynecological care and to identify the related factors among women who had reported sexual violence. METHODS: Twenty-five semi-structured interviews were conducted among adult women who reported sexual violence during childhood or as adults. Topics addressed included gynecological health, gynecological care and experienced violence, RESULTS: Interviewed women, aged 20-60, had a good professional integration and a high level of education. The violence had often been committed by a relative or acquaintance. For the women interviewed, the least use of gynecological care was motivated by a desire to avoid the gynecological examination. Among women who had regular check-ups, the desire to conform to the norm explained their need for gynecological check-ups, which was similar to that of women who had never been subjected to violence. Lastly, some care pathways were characterised by multiple recourse of gynecological care for complaints with identical motives. The women interviewed expected professionals to spontaneously identify the violence they had suffered and the gynecological consequences attributed to such violence. CONCLUSION: Individual and interpersonal differences in levels of gynecological care use were related to the characteristics of the violence and its perceived effects on gynecological health. It would be interesting to extend this research by examining the care pathways of women with other socioeconomic characteristics. A quantitative study would measure the association between violence and the use of gynecological care.

RESUMEN

La mort fœtale tardive fait référence à la mort in utéro (MIU) de survenue spontanée à partir de 22 semaines d'aménorrhée (SA), mais avant tout début du travail d'accouchement, ce qui constitue une tragédie pour la mère, les membres de la famille et du personnel soignant. La présente étude a déterminé l'ampleur, les facteurs associés et les méthodes de déclenchement artificiel du travail d'accouchement sur MIU. Méthodes : Il s'est agi d'une étude transversale descriptive, multicentrique menée dans 3 hôpitaux de Kisangani, pendant une période de 3 ans. La collecte des données était rétrospective, des cas de MIU à partir de 28 SA. Résultats : La fréquence de MIU tardive était de 6,48%. Les principaux facteurs associés étaient l'infection urinaire (35,4%), le paludisme sur grossesse (27,5%) et l'hypertension artérielle gravidique (27,5%). Le taux de participation aux consultations prénatales (CPN) n'était que de 63,5 %. Les méthodes de déclenchement artificiel du travail d'accouchement utilisées étaient le Misoprostol (42,7%), l'ocytocine (17,7%) soit les deux combinées (25%). La césarienne était indiquée à un taux de 26,4%. Conclusion : la fréquence de MIU tardive est élevée à Kisangani. L'infection urinaire, le paludisme et l'hypertension artérielle en constituaient les principaux facteurs associés. Le Misoprostol était la méthode de déclenchement du travail les plus utilisées. Un suivi régulier des CPN pourrait réduire le taux de MIU.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Suicide is a widespread phenomenon that affects persons of all ages, and it has become a major public health problem in Morocco. OBJECTIVES: This study aims to describe the epidemiological profile of suicide attempters in Morocco, as well as the identification of associated factors. METHODS: The present work is a systematic review that was conducted according to the recommendations of the "Preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analysis (2009)", including articles dealing with suicide attempts in Morocco that meet the usual inclusion criteria. The PubMed, ScienceDirect and Scopus databases were searched; articles had to be written in English or French. Additional studies were manually identified through via Google Scholar. Quality assessment of the included studies was carried out according to the NIH Assessment Tool. The review protocol was registered in PROSPERO (CRD42020165493). RESULTS: Twenty studies were selected. Adults and adolescents are the age groups most affected by suicide. That said, the phenomenon mainly concerns children over 10 years of age. In some studies, more than 90% of the cases involve females, and they are more numerous in urban than in rural settings, and single individuals are more affected than married people. As for children and adolescents, most of them had divorced parents, and more than 50% of suicidal persons of all ages had a low socio-economic level. Although females are more likely than males to commit suicide, males are more exposed to death due to the violent means used. CONCLUSIONS: Because of the alarming rate of suicide in our country, nationwide prevention strategies are called for.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: This study aims to determine the prevalence of burnout in a sample of Lebanese residents, and to identify its correlates and risk factors compared to local and international data. METHOD: A cross-sectional study was conducted at the end of the academic year 2018-2019, between the months of April and July, and targeted residents enrolled at Saint Joseph University, Faculty of Medicine (USJ- FM), in Beirut, Lebanon. Data was gathered via an anonymous online survey which was sent to all the residents through the Faculty administration on their personal email addresses. The questions dealt with demographic and mental health data. The Copenhagen Burnout Inventory (CBI) was used to measure burnout. RESULTS: 25.7% of the residents responded to the survey, two thirds of whom were female. 72.22% of the respondents suffered from personal burnout whereas as 77.78% suffered from work-related burnout. Only 26.39% residents were concerned with patient-related burnout. Money and professional problems were associated with burnout whereas suicidal thoughts were correlated with higher scores. Alcohol consumption was negatively correlated with CBI. CONCLUSION: The surveyed residents suffered from burnout which was mainly related to personal and occupational factors. Burnout was not an isolated entity; it should be considered as a whole and described as a subjective experience that varies from one person to another and results from complex biological, psychological and social interactions. It has consequences on the victims' health and quality of life.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to estimate prehospital delay and to identify the factors associated with the late arrival of patients with ischemic stroke at the Souss Massa Regional Hospital Center in Morocco. PATIENTS AND METHODS: An observational, prospective, cross-sectional study was conducted from March 2019 to September 2019 in the Souss Massa regional hospital center, which is a public hospital structure. A questionnaire was administered to patients with ischemic stroke and to bystanders (family or others), while clinical and paraclinical data were collected from medical records. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to identify the factors associated with delayed arrival at emergency department. RESULTS: A total of 197 patients and 197 bystanders who fulfilled the criteria for the study were included. The median time from symptom onset to hospital arrival was 6hours (IQR, 4-16). Multiple regression analysis showed that illiteracy (OR 38.58; CI95%: 3.40-437.27), waiting for symptoms to disappear (patient behavior) (OR 11.24; CI95%: 1.57-80.45), deciding to go directly to the hospital (patient behavior) (OR 0.07; CI95%: 0.01-0.57), bystander's knowledge that stroke is a disease requiring urgent care within a limited therapeutic window (OR 0.005; CI95%: 0.00-0.36), and direct admission without reference (OR 0.005; CI95%: 0.00-0.07), were independently associated with late arrival (>4.5hours) of patients with acute ischemic stroke. In addition, illiteracy (OR 24.62; CI95%: 4.37-138.69), vertigo and disturbance of balance or coordination (OR 0.14; CI95%: 0.03-0.73), the relative's knowledge that stroke is a disease requiring urgent care and within a limited therapeutic window (OR 0.03; CI95%: 0.00-0.22), calling for an ambulance (relative's behavior) (OR 0.16; CI95%: 0.03-0.80), distance between 50 and 100km (OR 10.16; CI95%: 1.16-89.33), and direct admission without reference (OR 0.03; CI95%: 0.00-0.14), were independently associated with late arrival (>6hours) of patients with acute ischemic stroke. CONCLUSION: Patient behavior, bystander knowledge and direct admission to the competent hospital for stroke care are modifiable factors potentially useful for reducing onset-to-door time, and thereby increasing the implementation rates of acute stroke therapies.

RESUMEN

AIM: determine the prevalence and factors associated with missed opportunities for vaccination of children 0-23 months old in the health district Niamey 2 (Niger) in 2018. MATERIALS AND METHODS: It was a cross - sectional study conducted in the health district of Niamey 2 in 2018. All children aged of 0 - 23 months which had parents aged more than 15 years old, who accepted to answer our questions were included. RESULTS: The prevalence of the missed opportunities immunization was 42.8%. Parent's perception on health services, the long waiting time, the refusal of immunization, the date of next appointment were the factors associated with the missed opportunities immunization. CONCLUSION: Taking into consideration the results of this study, the missed opportunities immunization remain important public health problems in Niger. Some actions need to be taken to improve the sensitization of communities about children immunization completeness.

BUT: déterminer la prévalence et les facteurs associés aux occasions manquées de vaccination selon la communauté (OMV) chez les enfants de 0 - 23 mois. MATÉRIELS ET MÉTHODES: Il s'est agi d'une étude descriptive transversale à visée analytique chez les enfants de 0 à 23 mois et leurs parents dans le district sanitaire Niamey 2 du 01 juin au 31 août 2018. Etaient inclus tous les enfants de 0 - 23 mois et leurs parents âgés de plus de 15 ans, acceptant de répondre à nos questions. RÉSULTATS: La prévalence des OMV était de 42,8%. Les perceptions des parents vis-à-vis des services de vaccination, le long temps d'attente, le refus de vaccination, la courtoisie des agents en demandant le carnet de vaccination des enfants, la date du prochain rendez ­ vous de même que la satisfaction des parents des services de vaccination étaient statistiquement liés aux occasions manquées de vaccination. CONCLUSION: Au regard de nos résultats, les occasions manquées de vaccination demeurent un problème de santé publique au Niger. Il revient donc aux autorités sanitaires la mise en œuvre des programmes d'intensification de sensibilisations communautaires pour assurer aux enfants une bonne complétude vaccinale.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVES: To study the frequency, the risk factors and the mode of delivery of breech presentation. To analyze the perinatal morbidity and mortality associated with breech presentation in comparison to cephalic presentation from all mode of delivery. METHODS: MedLine and Cochrane Library databases search in French and English and review of the main foreign guidelines between 1980 and 2019. RESULTS: Three modes of breech presentation exist according to fetal lower limbs position: frank in 2/3 of cases, complete in 1/3 of cases or, more rarely, incomplete (LE3). About 5% of women gave birth in breech presentation in France (LE3). As the frequency of breech presentation decreases with increasing gestational age, this incidence is lower after 37 WG and represents only 3% of term deliveries (LE3). Congenital uterine malformation (LE3) and fibroma (LE3), prematurity (LE3), oligoamnios (LE3), some fetal congenital malformations (LE3) and low birthweight for gestational age (LE3) are the main risk factors with breech presentation. In France, one-third of women with a term fetus in breech presentation attempt a vaginal delivery (LE3), which is successful in 70% of cases (LE3). Neonatal outcome is not associated with type of breech presentation (frank or complete) in case of vaginal delivery attempt after 37 WG (LE3). Overall, perinatal morbidity and mortality after 37 WG of breech presentation appear to be greater than in cephalic presentation from all mode of delivery (LE3). The risk of traumatic injury in breech delivery is estimated under 1% (LE3). The most common injuries are collarbone fractures, hematomas or contusions, and brachial plexus injury (LE3). Breech presentation is associated with an increased risk of hip dysplasia (LE3) and cesarean delivery does not seem to be a protective factor (LE3). Breech presentation does not appear to be associated with an increased risk of cerebral palsy compared to cephalic presentation after exclusion of fetuses with congenital malformations (LE3). CONCLUSION: Worldwide, mode of delivery of breech presentation has undergone profound changes since the publication of the TBT (Term Breech Trial). There are intrinsic factors associated with breech presentation, which should not be overlooked when interpreting the increased perinatal morbidity and mortality observed in case of breech presentation.

RESUMEN

INTRODUCTION: Despite the implementation of various nutritional interventions, access to healthy food in sufficient quantity for the population remain challenging in Burkina Faso. The objective of this study was to assess the nutritional status of infants aged 6-23 months and to identify factors associated with malnutrition. PATIENTS AND METHODS: From 1st May to 31th July 2016, we conducted a cross-sectional study at Yalgado Ouedraogo University Hospital paediatric department. Infants aged 6 to 23 months admitted to the paediatric emergency department were enrolled. Factors associated with malnutrition were identified using multivariate logistic regression. RESULTS: A total of 295 infants were included, at an average age of 13 months (standard deviation: 5.1 months). The prevalence of wasting was 15%, 13% was stuntingand 7% was underweight. The majority of mothers (69%) were unaware of exclusive breastfeeding and only 22% knew the importance of colostrum. In multivariate analysis age ≥ 12 months increased the odds of wasting (adjusted odds ratio [aOR]: 2.3, 95% confidence interval: 1.1-4.7), while knowledge of exclusive breastfeeding reduced the risk of wasting (aOR: 0.4, 95% CI 0.2-0.9). In addition, age ≥12 months (aOR: 0.08, 95% CI: 0.03-0.22), female gender (aOR: 0.31, 95% CI: 0.12-0.77) and absence of dietary restrictions (aOR: 0.13, 95% CI: 0.05-0.3) significantly reduced the odds of stunting. CONCLUSION: The prevalence of malnutrition remains high in paediatric department in Burkina Faso. Routine screening and adequate management of malnutrition, coupled with the promotion of optimal nutritional practices in childhood, is needed to improve child healthcare.

INTRODUCTION: Les pratiques d'alimentation constituentle facteur essentiel déterminant l'état nutritionnel des enfants.L'objectif de cette étude était d'évaluer l'état nutritionnel des nourrissons âgés de 6 à 23 mois admis dans le département de pédiatrie du CHU-YO et d'identifier les facteurs associés à la malnutrition. PATIENTS ET MÉTHODE: Nous avons mené une étude transversale chez des nourrissons âgés de 6 à 23 mois admis dans le service des urgences pédiatriques au Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Yalgado Ouédraogo entre le 1er mai et le 31 juillet 2016.Les facteurs associés à la malnutrition ont été identifiés par une régression logistique. RÉSULTATS: Au total 295 nourrissons ont été inclus, à un âge moyen 13 mois(Ecart type :5,1 mois).Les prévalences de la malnutrition étaient de15% pour la malnutrition aiguë, 13% pour la malnutritionchronique et 7% pour l'insuffisance pondérale. En analyse multivariée un âge ≥ 12 mois augmentait le risque de malnutrition aiguë (Rapport de cote ajusté (RCa) : 2,3 ; Intervalle de confiance à 95% : 1,1-4,7) tandis que la connaissance de l'allaitement maternel exclusif réduisait le risque de malnutrition aiguë (RCa : 0,4 ; IC95% 0,2-0,9). De plus, un âge ≥12 mois (RCa : 0,08,IC95% : 0,03-0,22), le sexe féminin (RCa : 0.31 IC95% : 0,12-0,77) et l'absence d'interdits alimentaires (RCa : 0,13 ; IC95% : 0,05-0,3) réduisait le risque d'êtreen malnutrition chronique chez les nourrissons. CONCLUSION: La prévalence de la malnutrition carentielle reste élevée en milieu hospitalier au CHU YO. La promotion des pratiques nutritionnelles optimales du nourrisson sont nécessaires pour améliorer la prise en charge des nourrissons dans le centre.

RESUMEN

AIM: We wanted to know the prevalence of depression and anxiety, as well as the associated factors in patients with chronic renal failure in Burkina Faso. PATIENTS AND METHODS: This was an analytical cross-sectional study conducted from February to May 2016. We included all adult patients with moderate or severe chronic renal failure. The diagnosis of anxiety and depression was made using the Hamilton scales. Identification of factors associated with both conditions required bi- and multivariate analyzes. RESULTS: The study involved 191 patients, with a mean age of 53.2±14.2 years and a sex ratio of 1.4. The prevalence of anxiety and depression was 42.4% and 66.5%, respectively. In 37.7% of cases, both anxiety and depression were noted. The mean age was 52.2±13.1 years for anxious patients and 53.5±13.3 years for the depressed. After multivariate analysis, female sex (odds ratio 2.2; adjusted P=0.014) was significantly associated with anxiety, and anxiety itself at depression (odds ratio 7.5; adjusted P<0.001). CONCLUSION: Anxiety and depression are very common during moderate or severe chronic renal failure in Burkina Faso. In view of their potentially serious consequences, there is a definite interest in their early detection by the nephrologist, especially in the female patient, and for early management.

RESUMEN

Orthostatic hypotension is a major criterion for diabetic autonomic cardiac neuropathy. It increases overall and cardiovascular mortality. PURPOSE: The aim of our study was to evaluate the orthostatic hypotension frequency in type 2 diabetics and to investigate the associated factors. METHODS: This prospective cross-sectional study included adult patients with type 2 diabetes. Orthostatic hypotension was defined as a decrease in the systolic arterial pressure>20mm-Hg or a decrease in the diastolic arterial pressure>10mm-Hg, after 3minutes of standing position. The arterial pressure was measured with a validated electronic device. Vascular risk factors and micro and macro-vascular complications were systematically investigated by the appropriate diagnostic means. RESULTS: We evaluated 300 diabetic patients. Of these women represented 57%. The mean age was 58 years old. The average duration of diabetes was 8 years. The antidiabetic drugs were metformin (82%), sulfonylureas (36%) and insulin (40%). High blood pressure was present in 49% among whom 50% of patients received angiotensin II receptor blockers, 47% diuretics, 24% angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors, 17% beta blockers, and 17% calcium channel blockers. Orthostatic hypotension has been identified in 26 patients (8.6%). In multivariate analysis, the associated factors with orthostatic hypotension were elevated systolic blood pressure and insulin treatment. CONCLUSION: The frequency of orthostatic hypotension is relatively low in our patients with type 2 diabetes and it was significantly associated with systolic blood pressure and insulin treatment.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVES: Study weight gain in pregnant women according to the recommendations of the American Institute of Medicine (IOM 2009) and identify the associated factors with inadequate weight gain in pregnant women in Constantine (Algeria). MATERIALS AND METHODS: A prospective and longitudinal study of a cohort of 217 pregnant women aged 19 to 43 years was carried out during the entire period of pregnancy at antenatal consultation and monitoring centers in Constantine (Algeria) from December 2013 to July 2016. Their weight was measured in the first, second and third trimester. Gestational weight gain was classified as lower or meeting the IOM recommendations. Factors associated with gestational weight gain (GWG), such as pre-gestational body mass index, women's knowledge of GWG, sympathetic signs, eating habits and consumption, and maternal stress were studied. Statistics were performed using Statview™ and SPSS software. RESULTS: The majority of women (65.4 %) had inadequate total GWG and only 34.6 % of them had GWG consistent with IOM recommendations. Inadequate weight gain was more frequent in women obese before pregnancy (p<0.0001), women who reported not knowing the ideal GWG (p=0.01), had sympathetic signs (p=0.01), food aversions (p=0.0086), and insufficient vitamin, and mineral intakes (p<0.01). Inadequate GWG was also common among women with insufficient duration of sleep and living in a stressful environment. CONCLUSION: GWG is associated with a number of factors and variable relationships for each trimester of pregnancy.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: A significant proportion of childhood sexual abuse victims suffer from psychological sequelae in adulthood. Factors that provide a better understanding for the reasons why some victims develop these sequelae remain under-explored. In this context, the main objective is to examine the specific contribution of the contextual characteristics of childhood sexual abuse, multitype childhood maltreatment and adolescent suicide attempts on the development of depression and post-traumatic stress disorder in adulthood among sexually abused women as children. A secondary objective aimed to establish the prevalence of various forms of childhood maltreatment, adult onset post-traumatic stress disorder and depression among those women. METHODS: The sample included 479 women victims of childhood sexual abuse who participated in two separate surveys taken by women in the province of Quebec. RESULTS: More than half of these women reported at least one other form of childhood maltreatment, 30% of them presented post-traumatic disorder and 40% suffered from depression in adulthood. Regression analysis indicates that post-traumatic stress disorder was associated with early onset childhood sexual abuse and intergenerational continuity of sexual victimization, as well as childhood physical maltreatment and negligence. Depression was associated with childhood psychological maltreatment and negligence, a non-supportive response following child sexual abuse related disclosure and suicide attempt in adolescence. CONCLUSION: These results confirm the need to consider the cumulative effects of various childhood adversity factors in the psychosocial assessment of sexually abused women in early life, thus helping to better understand and treat their psychological sequelae.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Per-partum stillbirth continues to represent a public health burden despite the efforts of countries around the world. Prevention of this mortality can only be effective with a better knowledge of factors that are life-threatening to the fetus or newborn. This work aims to determine associated factors with intrapartum and very early neonatal mortality. METHODS: A case-control study was carried out at the maternity of the university hospital in Marrakech, where 290 subjects were selected: 145 cases of intrapartum fetal death or a very early neonatal death, and 145 controls of surviving newborn weighing 2500g or more at birth. Data were collected from obstetric, partogram and death records for the year 2016. The factors that were compared between the two groups were factors before admission to maternity, factors related to the management during labor and to the care of newborn. RESULTS: Statistically significant associations were found between these deaths and several factors including: multiparity versus primiparity adjusted OR=2.27 [1.17-4.42], pregnant women referral from another health facility adjusted OR=2.11 [1.12-3.99], care for women during the transfer adjusted OR=0.21 [0.9-0.49] and prenatal follow-up of pregnancy adjusted OR=0.22 [0.12-0.4]. Were also associated: fetal monitoring during labor adjusted OR=0.22 [0.08-0.62], neonatal respiratory distress adjusted OR=18.48 [7.60-44.98] and Apgar score (⩽7) adjusted OR=6.05 [2.51-14.62]. CONCLUSION: Intrapartum and very early neonatal mortality is closely related to the newborn's condition at birth, fetal monitoring during labor, pregnancy monitoring, and the organization of the referral system.

RESUMEN

We have studied the epidemiological and clinical profile of herpes zoster in patients consulting at different hospitals in Lomé (Togo). This is a retrospective study of the records of the patient consulting for herpes zoster in the dermatology departments of these hospitals from 2009 to 2018. Of the 20,548 patients seen in the different departments, 254 (1.2%) had herpes zoster. The mean age of the patients was 41.6 ± 16 years, and the sex-ratio (M/F) was 0.81. Thirty-one (12.24%) patients were known to be HIVpositive and 105 (41.33%) agreed to be tested for HIV after admission. Thirty-five (33.3%) of these 105 patients were found to be HIV positive. Factors associated with HIV infection in 136 patients with the known HIV status were as follows: history of herpes zoster (P < 0.01, compared with the seronegatives), hemorrhagic lesions (P < 0.001), multimetameric location (P < 0.0001), and involvement of the cephalic extremity (P < 0.0001). Post-herpetic pain was observed in 32 (12.6%) patients.

Nous avons étudié le profil épidémiologique, clinique et thérapeutique du zona en milieu hospitalier à Lomé (Togo). Il s'agit d'une étude rétrospective portant sur les dossiers des patients consultant pour un zona dans les services publics de dermatologie de 2009 à 2018. Parmi les 20 548 patients vus dans les différents services, 254 (1,24 %) ont consulté pour un zona. L'âge moyen des patients était de 41,6 ± 16 ans et le sex-ratio (M/F) de 0,81. Trente et un (12,2 %) patients étaient connus séropositifs pour le VIH et 105 (41,33 %) ont accepté de faire le test de dépistage du VIH. Le zona était révélateur de l'infection à VIH chez 35 (33,3 %) des 105 patients dépistés. Les facteurs associés à la séropositivité VIH chez les 136 patients testés pour le VIH étaient : un antécédent de zona (p < 0,01, comparé aux séronégatifs), l'aspect hémorragique des lésions (p < 0,001), le caractère multimétamérique de l'atteinte (p < 0,0001) et l'atteinte de l'extrémité céphalique (p < 0,0001). Une douleur postzostérienne était observée chez 32 (12,6 %) des patients.
