RESUMO
INTRODUCTION: The development of acute respiratory distress syndrome indicates a serious form of COVID-19. Although there have been several studies on the prognostic factors of its severe form, no such study has been conducted in Burkina Faso. METHODS: This was a retrospective cohort study conducted from March 9 to June 9, 2020 in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso which involved 456 patients with COVID-19. RESULTS: Nearly a quarter of the patients (23.2%) had presented with acute respiratory distress and 44.3% of them died. Being over 65 years old (HR: 2.7; 95% CI: 1.5-5.1) and having hypertension (HR: 1.9; 95% CI: 1-3.5) were independently associated with the risk of mortality. However, after adjustment, only age over 65 years (HR: 2.3; 95% CI: 1.2-4.3) was a risk factor for death. The survival rate for patients over 65 was 38.5% at 7 days and 30.3% at 15 days. CONCLUSIONS: Acute respiratory distress leading to death is mainly found in older people with COVID-19. Close monitoring of these high-risk patients may reduce the risk of death.

OBJECTIVE: Identify the obstacles with the best coverage of the patient asthmatic by the actors of the health in Ouagadougou. METHOD: Transverse Study with descriptive aim from January till December 2012, associated with a review of the literature concerning the role of the actors of health in the coverage of the asthma. RESULT: the technique of demonstration of the grip of the spray measuring glass was known to 46 % of the doctors. A medical prescription was required by 9 % of the pharmacists before the delivery of medicine asthmatic. The check of the conformity of the prescription was made by 30 % of the pharmacists, the demonstration of the grip of the spray measuring glass to the pharmacy was assured by 73,6 % of the pharmacists and mastered well by 34,5 %.Within the framework of the treatment of the asthma, 43,2 % of the male nurses knew that ß2-mimetic and corticoids were the most used medicine. ß2-mimetic inhaled by quick action was recommended by 40,6 % of the male nurses in the occasional asthma, this prescription is not in compliance with the recommendations of GINA. CONCLUSION: A need for training / recycling is expressed by almost all of the actors of health occurring in the coverage of the asthma in Burkina Faso.
OBJECTIF: Identifier les entraves à la meilleure prise en charge du patient asthmatique par les acteurs de la santé à Ouagadougou. MÉTHODE: Etude transversale à visée descriptive de Janvier à décembre 2012, associée à une revue de la littérature portant sur le rôle des acteurs de santé dans la prise en charge de l'asthme. RÉSULTAT: La technique de démonstration de la prise de l'aérosol doseur était maitrisée chez 46% des médecins. Une ordonnance médicale était exigée par 9% des pharmaciens avant la délivrance des médicaments asthmatiques. La vérification de la conformité de la prescription médicale était faite par 30% des pharmaciens, la démonstration de la prise de l'aérosol doseur à l'officine était assurée par 73,6% des pharmaciens et bien maîtrisée par 34,5%. Dans le cadre du traitement de l'asthme, 43,2 % des infirmiers savaient que les bronchodilatateurs et les corticoïdes étaient les médicaments les plus utilisés. Les bronchodilatateurs inhalés d'action rapide étaient recommandés par 40,6 % des infirmiers dans l'asthme intermittent, cette prescription n'est pas conforme aux recommandations de la GINA. CONCLUSION: Un besoin de formation/recyclage est exprimé par la quasi-totalité des acteurs de santé intervenant dans la prise en charge de l'asthme au Burkina Faso.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: Describe the knowledge, beliefs and practices on tuberculosis of tubercular patients' carers in Ouagadougou. METHODS: A prospective descriptive transversal study was carried out. Participants were sourced from the four Centers of Diagnosis and Treatment, the National Center for the Fight Against Tuberculosis and the department of Pneumology of the Yalgado Ouédraogo University hospital. The recruitment was exhaustive and included the carers of tubercular patients (pulmonary tuberculosis with positive microscopy). RESULTS: The average age of the carers was 36 years ± 14, with a majority of them bring male. In 33.7% of the cases the carer was a sibling and not schooled in 45.2%. A good understanding of tuberculosis was found at 20.2 % of the carers. Among the subjects which had a good understanding, 71.4 % were schooled and 88.1% came from an urban environment. Understanding tuberculosis is associated with academic level. Knowledge of the modes of contamination of tuberculosis was low (48,1%). Among the carers, 37% did not know that the tubercular patient should not be isolated by their circle of acquaintances, 19.2% assured the supervision of medicine intake. Respectively, 1.4% and 5.8% believe that tuberculosis is associated with witchcraft and divine punishment. Approximately two thirds of the carers refused to share the same dish as the tubercular patient. CONCLUSION: An insufficient general knowledge of tuberculosis emerges from our work and modes of contamination. The beliefs and behavioral practices of the carers towards the tubercular patients tend to increase the stigmatization of tuberculosis.
OBJECTIF: Décrire les connaissances, croyances et pratiques sur la tuberculose des accompagnateurs des patients tuberculeux à Ouagadougou. MATÉRIELS ET MÉTHODES: Étude transversale prospective à passage unique et à visée descriptive. Les sites de recrutement étaient représentés par les quatre Centres de Diagnostic et de Traitement, le Centre National de Lutte Anti Tuberculeuse et le service de Pneumo-phtisiologie du Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Yalgado Ouédraogo. Le recrutement a été exhaustif et a concerné les accompagnateurs des patients tuberculeux. RÉSULTATS: L'âge moyen des accompagnateurs était de 36 ans ± 14, une prédominance masculine a été observée. Ils étaient dans 33,7% des cas représentés par la fratrie (frère et/ou sÅur) et non scolarisés dans 45,2%. Une bonne connaissance de la tuberculose était retrouvée chez 20,2% des accompagnateurs. Parmi ceux qui avaient une bonne connaissance, 71,4 % étaient scolarisés et 88,1% provenaient du milieu urbain. La connaissance de la tuberculose était associée au niveau d'instruction. La connaissance des modes de contamination de la tuberculose était faible (48,1%). Parmi les accompagnateurs 37% ne savaient pas que le tuberculeux ne devrait pas être isolé de l'entourage, 19,2% assuraient la supervision des prises des médicaments. Respectivement 1,4% et 5,8% d'entre eux croyaient que la tuberculose relevait de la sorcellerie et d'une punition divine. Environ deux tiers des accompagnateurs refusaient de partager le même plat avec le patient tuberculeux. CONCLUSION: Une insuffisance des connaissances générales sur la TB et des modes de contamination a été observée. Les croyances et pratiques comportementales des accompagnateurs vis-à-vis des patients tuberculeux tendent à stigmatiser d'avantage la tuberculose.
