Materials and Methods: This was a cross-sectional, descriptive study with data collection over a period of 10 years;The data collection was retrospective over nine years from January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2021 and prospective over one year from January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2022. This study focused on all patients whose death was noted on arrival during pregnancy, labor or in the postpartum period in the Gynecology-Obstetrics Department of Fousseyni Daou Hospital. Confidentiality and anonymity were respected. The processing and analysis of statistical data were carried out using SPSS 20.0 software. Results: During the study period, we recorded 93 cases of death noted on arrival out of a total of 606 maternal deaths, i.e., a frequency of 15.34%. The average age was 27 years with the extremes of 20 years and 34 years. They came mainly from rural areas at 74%, were married at 82%, uneducated at 51.6%, housewives at 87.1%. The profession of the spouses is worker at 37.6%. In our sample, evacuated patients were the most represented with 75.3%. Postpartum hemorrhage was the most frequent reason for admission with 22.6%. The deceased patients had no medical history at 86%. In our series, 59.5% of the deceased patients had not had antenatal consultations (CPN). Patients who died on arrival and who had given birth at home were the most represented with 54.8%. Deaths from immediate postpartum hemorrhage complicated by shock were the most frequent with 25.8% followed by severe anemia 8.6%. Deaths were mainly due to direct obstetric causes at 76.3%. In these deaths observed on arrival, the 2nd delay was identified at 48.4%. Conclusion: Maternal deaths observed on arrival remain frequent in the Kayes region. The main causes are immediate postpartum hemorrhage and anemia, which are almost all preventable causes of maternal death following the 1st and 2nd delay.展开更多

Objective: Study the socio-epidemiological aspects and prognosis of unassisted deliveries arriving at the Fousseyni Daou De Kayes hospital. Materials and Methods: This was a descriptive, cross-sectional study with prospective collection, case-control that took place at the maternity ward of the Fousseyni Daou hospital in Kayes, from<sup> </sup>1 January to 31 December 2021. Results: The frequency of unattended birth was 4.1%. The 30 - 35 age group was the most represented with 32.5%. In our study 58.1% of cases were out of school, 19.4% were primigestes and 39.4% were multiparous. In our series 60.6% of cases had given birth at home and 39.4% along the way. The majority of cases regretted having given birth without the assistance of qualified personnel in 45.6%. Maternal complications were dominated by perineal lesions in 14.4% of cases, haemorrhage of delivery in 25% of cases, severe anaemia in 30% of cases;16.7% of newborns were in poor condition, 13.6% were fresh stillbirths, 15.6% of newborns had obstetric trauma. The maternal death rate on arrival was 3%. Conclusion: The frequency of unassisted childbirth is high in the Kayes region. Its complications can be serious for both the mother and the newborn.展开更多

Objective: To describe the epidemiological, clinical and biological profile of urinary tract infection in the internal medicine unit of the Fousseyni Daou hospital in Kayes. Methodology: It was a descriptive and cross-sectional study with retrospective data collection which took place from January 1 to December 31, 2020 at the Internal Medicine Unit of the Fousseyni Daou Hospital in Kayes. It covered all outpatients and hospitalized patients presenting with a urinary tract infection during the study period. Results: We identified 79 cases of urinary tract infection out of 145 requests for ECBU, that is a positivity rate of 53.10% and out of a total of 1883 admissions that is a hospital prevalence of 4.19%. The age groups of 36 to 45 years and 46 to 55 years were more represented in 28 cases (35.44%) and 25 cases (31.64%) with an average age of 45 years ± 10. The female sex was predominant, 42 cases (53.16%) with a sex ratio of 0.88. Housewives were more represented 28 cases (34.44%). The majority of patients resided in rural areas 49 cases (62.03%). The history was dominated by the following pathologies: hypertension 48.10%, diabetes 36.70% and gastropathy 30.37%. The main clinical manifestations were: Urinary burning 67 cases (84.81%), Dysuria 65 cases (82.27%), Pelvic pain 59 cases (74.68%), Fever 57 cases (72.15%). The epidemiological profile of the isolated strains was dominated by enterobacteriaceae, followed by gram-positive cocci and gram-negative bacilli. The main bacteria responsible for urinary tract infections in order of frequency: Escherichia coli (45.56%), Klebsiella pneumoniae (11.39%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (8.86%), Staphylococcus aureus (7.59%), Streptococcus sp (6.33%), Enterobacter cloacae (3.79%), Acinetobacter sp (3.79%). The study of the susceptibility and resistance profiles of the isolated strains showed significant sensitivity of enterobacteriaceae to colistin and resistance to amoxicillin and to the amoxicillin + clavulanic acid combination. Conclusion: Urinary tract infections are a major public health problem since they are responsible for significant morbidity and mortality and a high cost of care. Knowledge of the epidemiological-clinical and bacteriological profile of these infections is essential for efficient management.展开更多

Objective: To describe the etiological and evolutionary profile of anemia in patients hospitalized in the Internal Medicine Unit of the Fousseyni Daou Hospital in Kayes. Methodology: It was a descriptive and cross-sectional study with retrospective data collection which took place from January 1 to December 31, 2020 at the Internal Medicine Unit of the Fousseyni Daou Hospital in Kayes. It covered all anemic patients hospitalized during the study period. Results: We identified 91 cases of anemia out of 200 patients admitted to the Unit that is a hospital prevalence of 45.5%. The age group of 26 to 35 years was the most represented, that is to say 29 cases (31.87%) with an average age of 43.55 years ± 17.48 years, the female sex predominated, 51 cases (56.04%) with a sex ratio of 0.78. Housewives represented 41 cases (45.05%). The majority of patients resided in rural areas 48 cases (52.75%). The main manifestations were: asthenia 75 cases (78.02%), vertigo 68 cases (74.72%), dyspnea 62 cases (68.13%), headaches 59 cases (64.83%), palpitations 55 cases (60.44%), conjunctival pallor 53 cases (58.24%), tachycardia 43 cases (47.25%), systolic murmur 18 cases (19.78%) and IMO 11 cases (12.09%). The associated pathologies were: infected diabetic wounds 25.27%, followed by bacterial pleuro-pneumopathy 18.68%. Biologically, microcytic anemia was the most frequent 49 cases (53.84%), followed by normocytic anemia 35 cases (38.46%) and macrocytic anemia 7 cases (7.7%). Anemia was hypochromic, 53 cases (58.24%) were more encountered compared to normochromic anemia 38 cases (41.76%). The anemia was: severe in 43 cases (47.25%), moderate 29 cases (31.87%) and mild 19 cases (20.88%). Inflammatory anemia is the most common etiological diagnosis in 60% of cases, followed by vitamin B12 deficiency anemia observed in 21% of patients and then blood diseases in 7.33% of cases. The main causes of death were HIV (50%) and kidney failure (33.33%). Conclusion: Anemia is a frequent symptom in internal medicine. It constitutes a real diagnostic challenge for the internist and this sometimes in an emergency context. The use of specialized examinations and labile blood products is essential in our hospital.展开更多

This delay is related to the insidious nature of renal disease, the lack of qualified personnel and structures for the management of these conditions and the context of chronic insecurity in our country. In Kayes, there is no data related to the first consultations of patients with the nephrologist, hence the interest of this study, which aimed to describe the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of patients undergoing a first nephrological consultation in Kayes hospital. Materials and methods: This was a retrospective, descriptive study conducted from January 1 to December 31, 2020 at the nephrology unit of the Fousseyni DAOU hospital in Kayes. All patients received for nephrological consultation for whom a medical record was made were included. The following data were collected and analyzed: the specialty of the medical referent, the reason for consultation, sociodemographic characteristics and the renal assessment of patients. Patients who consulted for non-nephrological pathologies and those who had no medical record were not included. Results: We collected the records of 346 patients, composed of 180 (52%) women and 166 (48%) men, i.e. a sex ratio of 0.92. The age group [20 - 40 years] was the most represented, 107 cases or 30.9%, with a mean age of 48.84 ± 21.33 years and extremes of 1 and 90 years. Housewives were the most consulted population, 149 cases (41.33%). Patients consulted more between the months of January and February, 116 cases (33.5%), this period was followed by the months of October-December, July-September and April-June with respectively 94 cases (27.2%), 76 cases (22.0%) and 60 cases (17.3%). The patients were referred by the general practitioner in 59.5% (209 cases), specialist doctor, 26.0% (90 cases). The patients came mainly from hospital practitioners, 172 cases (49.7%), private clinic and practice 81 cases (23.4%), community health center (CSCOM), 69 cases (19.9%). The main reasons for consultation were hypercreatinemia 205 cases (59.2%), low back pain 46 cases (13.3%) and edematous syndrome 16 cases (4.6%). The mean blood pressure was 140/80 mmHg with extremes of 70 and 240 mmHg for systolic and 40 and 160 mmHg for diastolic. Mean creatinine was 660.53 μmol/l ± 821.311 with extremes of 46 and 5447 μmol/l. Patients transferred from the emergency department had a creatinine level above 700 μmol/l in 41.1% (39) of cases (p = 0.003 Person’s Chi-square = 8643 ddl = 1). Among the 316 patients who had a blood count, anemia was found in 221 (69.9%) and the mean hemoglobin level was 9.61 g/dl ± 3.11 with extremes of 1.70 g/dl and 19.56 g/dl. The diagnostic hypotheses evoked were acute renal failure (124 cases, i.e. 38.5%), chronic renal failure (81 cases, i.e. 23.7%). Conclusion: Primary nephrological consultation is more solicited by general practitioners. The consultations, often in the emergency room, were motivated by significant hypercreatinemia. Awareness of the nursing staff, the patients and the political authorities are necessary to encourage nephrological consultations at an early stage of the renal disease.展开更多

The objective of this study was to study maternal mortality in patients evacuated to the gynecology and obstetrics department at the Fousseyni Daou Hospital in Kayes over a period of 10 years. Materials and Methods: This was a descriptive, cross-sectional, retrospective study over nine years from January 1, 2011 to December 31, 2019 and prospective over one year from January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020 involving all patients or parturients evacuated for obstetrical causes and died in the gynecology-obstetrics department of the Fousseyni Daou Hospital. Confidentiality and anonymity were respected. The processing and analysis of the statistical data was carried out using SPSS 20.0 software. Results: during our study period we identified 38,854 obstetric admissions including 6758 evacuations or 17.4%, among the 6758 cases of obstetric evacuations 284 died, a frequency of 4.2%. The maternal death audit committee of the Fousseyni Daou hospital in Kayes audited 101/284 cases (files) or 35.5% of which 64 maternal deaths (63.4%) were considered inevitable. In our study the 20 - 29 age group was more represented with 38%. 85% of the deceased patients lived in rural areas. In our series, 63.7% of the deceased patients had not had antenatal consultations (NPC). Eclampsia accounted for 26.8% of admissions diagnoses and 30.9% of causes of death. Seventy-two (72%) of deaths occurred postpartum, 15% perpartum and 13% prepartum. Direct obstetric causes were predominant at 65.1%. Conclusion: Indicators of maternal deaths among evacuated patients remain poor in our work. Maternal deaths were driven by socio-economic and cultural factors, but also by factors related to the health system.展开更多
