<p><strong>OBJECTIVES:</strong> To estimate the prevalence of emergency cases reporting to Primary Health Care centers (PHC), Jeddah, Saudi Arabia and to explore the barriers facing PHC physicians when dealing with such emergency cases.<strong></strong></p><p><strong>METHODS:</strong> A cross-sectional analytic study, where all physicians working in the PHC of the Ministry of Health (MOH) in Jeddah; were invited to participate (n=247). The study period was from July 2013 till December 2013. Data were collected through two sources. 1- A self-administered questionnaire used to determine the physicians’ perceived competence when dealing with emergency cases. 2- A structured observation sheet used to evaluate availability of equipment, drugs, ambulances and other supporting facilities required to deal with emergency cases.</p><p><strong>RESULTS:</strong> The response rate was 83.4%. The physicians’ age ranged between 25 and 60 years with a mean ±SD of 34.4±7.5 years. Majority of them (83.5%) did not attend ATLS courses at all whereas 60.7% never attended ACLS courses. The majority (97.1%) had however attended BLS courses. Physicians in the age group 36-45 years, non-Saudi, those who had SBFM, those who reported experience in working in emergency departments and physicians who reported more working years in PHCCs (&gt;5 years) had a significant higher score of perceived level of competence in performing emergency skill scale than others (P&lt;0.05). The prevalence of emergency cases attending PHC in Jeddah (2013) was 5.2%.</p><p><strong>CONCLUSION:</strong> Emergency services at PHC in Jeddah are functioning reasonably well, but require fine tuning of services and an upgrade in their quality.</p>

Background: Hepatitis B is a potentially life-threatening liver infection which is caused by the hepatitis B virus. Universal testing of hepatitis B virus of pregnant women already occurs in many parts of the world, but still suboptimal in resource-limited settings.Objectives: To find the seroprevalence of hepatitis B s antigen in pregnant women visiting primary health care centers in Baghdad Al-Jadeda health sector that belongs to Baghdad Al-Rusafa health directorate and to determine the effect of some social and obstetrical factors in the infected women.Patients and Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional study carried on 6975 records of pregnant women visited primary health care centers from 1st of January 2016 to 30th of June 2017, whose blood samples were tested at the time of visits for hepatitis B s antigen in the reference laboratory and confirmation tests were established in the central public health laboratory in Baghdad for positive cases and included in their records. The effect of certain sociodemographic and obstetrical factors was also assessed in the study.Results:Of total number of 6975 pregnant women records, hepatitis B s antigen was positive for 11, two were excluded to avoid duplication of data and the final number of infected pregnant women was 9 with prevalence rate of 0.13%. No important findings from their antenatal records regarding effect of certain sociodemographic and obstetrical factors were found except that husband of the majority of cases (55.6%) were HBs Ag negative and no information available about rest of the cases (44.4%).Conclusion: There was a low prevalence of hepatitis B among studied pregnant women. We also concluded that source of infection to these women was mainly parenteral rather than sexual.     الانتشار المصلي للمستضد S لإلتهاب الكبد الفايروسي البائي في النساء الحوامل المراجعات لمراكز الرعاية الصحية الأولية في قطاع بغداد الجديدة في مدينة بغداد د.شيماء سلمان علي د.بان عبد الرضا سلمان     خلفية البحث: التهاب الكبد الفابروسي البائي هو مرض خطير يهدد الحياة و يسببه فيروس التهاب الكبد نوع باء .عالميا يجري فحص النساء الحوامل لمعرفة الأصابة بهذا الفايروس في أجزاء كثيرة من العالم، ولكن ما زال دون المستوى الأمثل في المناطق المحدودة الموارد. الأهداف: للبحث عن معدل الانتشار المصلي للمستضدs  لإلتهاب الكبد البائي في النساء الحوامل اللاتي يراجعن مراكز الرعاية الصحية الأولية في قطاع بغداد الجديدة الذي ينتمي إلى دائرة صحة بغداد الرصافة وتحديد أثر بعض العوامل الاجتماعية وعوامل الولادة في النساء المصابات. المواد والطرق: تم إجراء دراسة مستعرضة بأثر رجعي على سجلات 6975 للنساء الحوامل المراجعات لمراكز الرعاية الصحية الأولية من الأول من كانون الثاني 2016 إلى ال 30 من حزيران عام 2017، في وقت الزيارة عينات الدم من هذه النساءالحوامل خضعت لفحص  مستضد s لفيروس الكبد البائي في المختبر المرجعي التابع لقطاع بغداد الجديدة للرعاية الصحية الاولية و تم تأكيد الاختبار في مختبر الصحة العامة المركزي في بغداد للحالات الايجابية و دونت في هذه السجلات. كذلك تم تقييم أثر بعض العوامل الاجتماعية الديمغرافية وعوامل الولادة من سجلات فحص النساء الحوامل في المراكز الصحية. النتائج: من مجموع  سجل6975 إمرأة حامل, مستضد التهاب الكبد البائي نوع s كانت إيجابية لأحدعشرأمرأة وتم استبعاد سجلات اثنتين لتلافي التكرار بذكر النتائج وكان العدد النهائي للحوامل المصابات تسعة مع معدل انتشار 0.13 % . لم يتم العثور على نتائج هامة فيما يتعلق بتأثير بعض العوامل الاجتماعية الديمغرافية وعوامل الولادة عدا أن أزواج معظم الحالات (55.6%) كان مستضد s سلبي لهم ولا تتوفر أية معلومات حول أزواج بقية الحالات (44.4%). الاستنتاج: هناك انخفاض معدل انتشار التهاب الكبد البائي بين النساء الحوامل ضمن الدراسة كما تم الأستنتاج أن مصدر العدوى في هؤلاء النساء لم يكن جنسيا .                                                                                                                                الكلمات الرئيسية: فيروس التهاب الكبد B، مستضد s لإلتهاب الكبد باء ، النساء الحوامل.
