Epidemiological Profile

Objectives: Calculate the frequency of anemia during pregnancy, describe the epidemiological profile and describe the management of anemia during pregnancy in the gynecology-obstetrics Department of the Labé regional hospital. Methodology: This was a prospective, descriptive study lasting six (6) months from September 1, 2020 to February 28, 2021 All pregnant women who developed anemia and treated were considered for the study in the service. All pregnant women without anemia were included. Our data were analyzed by Epi-Info version 7.2.2.6 software, entered and presented by Pack office 2016 software. Results: The frequency of anemia in pregnant women was 27.61% in the department. The epidemiological profile of anemia in pregnant women at the Labé regional hospital was that of: a woman aged 25-29 (30.63%), housewives (72.97%), women not attending school (66, 67 %.), those Coming from the rural areas (76.58%), married women (100%), pauciparous (29.73%) and only 14.42% did not carry out an antenatal consultation. The anemia occurred in the 3rd trimester (76.58 %,). The main reason for consultation was paleness of the conjunctivae and integuments (92.79%) and malaria the dominant antecedent (60.36%). Severe anemia was the most dominant clinical form (54.96%). Transfusion was performed in 54.95% of women with anemia. The average length of stay was 4.9 days with extremes of 1 and 10 days. The maternal prognosis was favorable in 96.40% with a maternal death rate of 3.60%. Conclusion: Anemia is a major problem for pregnant women in the Gynecology-Obstetrics department at the Labé regional hospital. The improvement of the maternal prognosis would pass by chemoprophylaxis of malaria, the use of impregnated mosquito nets with long-lasting insecticide (LLINs), the prevention of intestinal parasitoses, the regular administration of iron, folic acid and the provision of quality prenatal consultation.

Epidemiological Profile

Objectives: To calculate the frequency of uterine fibromyomas, to describe the epidemiological profile, to describe the management and to establish the prognosis of women with uterine fibromyomas in the gynaecology-obstetrics department of the Regional Hospital of Labé. Methodology: This was a retrospective descriptive study lasting three (3) years from 1 January 2017 to 31 December 2019. All patients admitted and operated on in the department for uterine fibromyomas during the study period were included. Patients who were not operated for uterine fibromyomas in the department and incomplete records were not included. Our data were collected and analysed using Epi-Info software version 7.2.2.6. Word, Excel and Power point software from Pack office 2016 were used for data entry and presentation. The study involved a continuous series of 115 anaemic pregnant women. We proceeded with an exhaustive recruitment of pregnant women according to the criteria defined above. Results: The frequency of uterine fibromyomas among gynaecological pathologies was 44.75%. The epidemiological profile was that of a 30-39% (40.87%), housewife (53.91%) and nulliparous (40%) woman. Pelvic pain was the dominant reason for consultation (75.65%) and 46.08% of patients had no particular history. Intramural or interstitial uterine fibromyomas were the most common (49.57%) and ultrasound was performed in all patients. The surgical indications were dominated by large polymyomatous uterus 37.39%, followed by haemorrhagic fibroid 26.09%. Myomectomy was performed in 75.65% of cases, exclusively via the abdominal route (100%), while hysterectomy was performed via the abdominal route in 17.39% of cases and vaginal route in 6.96%. The postoperative course was simple in 75.65% of cases and complicated in 24.35%. Complications were dominated by anaemia (13.04). The average length of stay was 6.05 days with extremes of 3 and 13 days. Conclusion: The frequency of the uterine fibromyomas is raised in the region of Labé and the hold in charge is often surgical

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the adherence of pregnant women to personal protective measures against mosquito bites, recommended by the Ministry of Health, and to investigate the factors associated with the non-adoption of these measures. METHODS: We interviewed 177 pregnant women between November 2016 and February 2017 in the 10 basic health units of the municipality of Propriá, state of Sergipe, two located in the rural area and eight in the urban area, during prenatal appointments, to raise information about the use of preventive measures against the vector transmission of Zika virus. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistical methods, chi-square test or Fisher’s exact test, and the odds ratio was calculated. The independent variables were grouped by the analysis of principal components, and the dependents (the use of repellent, mosquito nets, garments, screens and insecticides) were analyzed using the logistic regression method. RESULTS: Among the measures recommended by the Ministry of Health, mosquito nets were the most used by pregnant women living in rural areas and with low education level, while the repellents were more used by women in the urban area and with higher education level. Women in a vulnerable socio-economic situation presented a risk 2.4 times higher for not using screens in their homes, 1.9 times higher for not changing clothes and 2.5 times higher for not using repellent than pregnant women in better economic conditions. CONCLUSIONS: The socioeconomic status of pregnant women, especially among the less privileged, influenced the use of protective measures against Zika virus, from the purchase of repellent, clothing, insecticides to other resources in the municipality of Propriá, SE.

Background: Pregnancy is the period from conception to birth during which there is the requirements of diet that provide the required essential nutrients to keep the mother healthy and allow the fetus to grow and develop in favorable conditions. The objective of the study was to identify the knowledge on dietary pattern among pregnant women attending ANC checkup in Narayani sub-regional hospital. Methods: The study was of descriptive, cross sectional type. The random sampling technique was applied. The study design was conducted in Narayani sub-regional hospital in Parsa district, Nepal. Participants included 96 pregnant women using semi structured questionnaire through face to face interview. Data analysis was done both manually and with the help of SPSS. Results: The study showed that there were more women 56(58.3%) from rural areas than that of urban. About seven out of 10 pregnant women were between the ages of 20 to 35 years of age and the study showed that one-fifth of the pregnant women were married before legal age. The mean age of pregnant women was 24. 1 year. There were 6.2% of pregnant women who were illiterate and six out of 10(59.4%) pregnant women had agriculture as their main occupation. The total sampled 96 pregnant women interviewed all knew about nutrition and mostly the source of information was family, neighbors and friends (34.4%). Almost two-fourth (45.8%) of pregnant women still have the wrong perception regarding consumption of green vegetables and coldness (61.4%) is the main reason behind not consumption of green vegetables. The reason for consumption of processed food was because of easy availability and nine in ten pregnant women replied media influenced them to eat processed food. Two-third pregnant women replied right answer for reason of taking iron tabs. In the study found that there is no association between women literacy and knowledge on nutrition. About 6 in 10 (59.3%) sampled women had moderate knowledge on nutrition whereas only one forth-pregnant woman had high knowledge on nutrition. One-sixth pregnant women had low knowledge. Conclusions: The study revealed that, although every pregnant woman had some sorts of knowledge on nutrition, still there is lack of sufficient knowledge on dietary patterns during pregnancy and some wrong perceptions following diet consumption during pregnancy was found. Health education and awareness programs that influences to develop positive attitude can only ultimately brings changes in the behavior.

Introduction: Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease of the central nervous system that consists of the development of autoantibodies against the myelin sheath in neuronal axons causing demyelinating inflammatory sites. It is a disease currently incurable. Objectives: The objective was to describe the epidemiological clinical profile of patients hospitalized with MS in the State of São Paulo, in the period from 2011 to 2021. Methods: This is an epidemiological, descriptive and retrospective study, with quantitative analysis, whose source of data was the Information System for Notifiable Diseases, from the Ministry of Health. The data were tabulated in graphs and tables using Microsoft Excel 2010. Results: 10,386 admissions of MS were reported in the state. Of the total cases, 67.4% occurred in females and 80.3% in race white. 43.5% of patients in the age group between 30 and 39 years. 94.4% were hospitalized on an elective basis. The average length of stay is between 3.3 days, with mortality rate representing 0.64% of the total. Conclusion: A higher prevalence was observed in the age range between 30 and 39 years and a predominance of hospitalizations among women. Although it is a disease with high morbidity and mortality, the mortality was low. It suggests that there are variables to be analyzed, such as a possible underreporting of this disease and also the advent of early diagnosis strategies and treatments that can modify the course of the disease, mitigating mortality.

Introduction: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a major chronic disease. Prevalence of diabetes was 9% globally in 2014 and 9.3% in Canada and 7.2% in Alberta in 2015. Complications of the disease are numerous and frequent. Hypoglycemia is one complication of diabetes treatment. The objective of this study was to quantify and characterize presentations by adults to Alberta emergency departments (EDs) for hypoglycemia associated with type 1 (T1DM) or type 2 (T2DM) diabetes. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted using data for Alberta for a five-year period (fiscal years 2010/11-2014/15). Data were sourced from an administrative database: National Ambulatory Care Reporting System (NACRS). Records of interest were those with an ICD-10-CA diagnosis of DM-associated hypoglycemia (i.e., E10.63, E11.63, E13.63, or E14.63). A descriptive analysis was conducted. Results: Data extraction yielded 7,835 presentations by 5,884 patients. The majority of presentations were by males (56.2%) and median patient age was 62. These episodes constituted 0.08% of presentations to Alberta EDs and they occurred at an event rate of 0.67 episodes per 100 patient-years (95% CI: 0.66-0.69). The annual rate of presentations decreased by 11.8% during the five-year period. Most presentations (63.4%) involved transportation to the ED via ambulance. Relative to LOS for ED presentations for all reasons, average length-of-stay (LOS) was 3.2x longer and 1.4x longer for discharged and admitted patients, respectively. For 27.5% of presentations, an X-ray was obtained. Most hypoglycemic episodes (65.2%) were considered to be of moderate severity while 34.3% were considered to be severe. None were mild because all involved access to an ED. The condition mainly (absolute terms) afflicted people with T2DM and urban areas; however, it disproportionately afflicted people with T1DM and rural areas. Conclusion: For a condition that is largely preventable with effective blood glucose management, DM-associated hypoglycemia incurs significant healthcare resource use. People with DM would be better served with more effective and safer euglycemic agents.

Introdution: Studying the epidemiology of epilepsy is important for the knowledge of this disease in the national territory, and also to improve the Public System. Objectives: Describe the epidemiological profile of epilepsy in Brazilian regions between 2010 and 2019. Methods: Refers to an ecological study with secondary data from the Ministry of Health, through DATASUS. The period investigated was from January 2010 to December 2019, in Brazilian regions. The variables explored were region, sex, number of hospitalizations, average length of stay and mortality rate. Results: 507,443 hospitalizations were identified, with the highest numbers of cases being in the Southeast (44.34%) and the lowest in the North (5.43%). There was a predominance of hospitalizations in males (58%).The mortality rate varied between 2.97 (Northeast) and 1.44 (South). Southeast had the longest stay (6.8 days) and the shortest was in the South (4.4 days). Conclusions: After analyzing this study, males have the highest rate of hospitalization and the Southeast has the highest number of hospitalizations and average length of stay for epilepsy, which may be associated with the fact that this region has the largest absolute population. Although, the Northeast had the highest mortality rate, a situation possibly related to a lower integration of the health system compared to the other regions.

Background: The Car Seat Law (2008) aims to minimize the impacts of traffic accidents on children under 10 years old, including the Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). Objectives: To compare the epidemiological profile of TBI in children under 10 years old before and after the implementation of the Child Seat Law in Brazil. Design and setting: Ecological study in Brazil. Methods: Data was collected from the Ministry of Health, through DATASUS. The decade prior (1998- 2007) and subsequent (2009-2018) to the implementation of the Law were analyzed. The data collected included children of 10 years or less, average length of stay, hospitalizations, deaths, and mortality. Results: The average mortality between 1998-2007 was 2.31, while between 2009-2018 was 1.59, reducing 30.8%. There was also a reduction of 11% in the average stay averages, which went from 3.6 to 3.2 days. There was a 30.7% decrease in the lethality rate, from 2.3 to 1.6. The median of hospitalizations before the Law was 14,230, while afterwards it was 12,851. Conclusion: There was a significant decrease in the average mortality rate, lethality rate and average stay averages since the Law. This may suggest the Law’s effectiveness in protecting children under 10 years of age.

Red beans are one of the foods high in fiber. Red beans are also high in nutrients that improve a healthy body. The content of iron, folic acid, calcium, carbohydrate and high protein in red beans benefits body health, especially for pregnant women to prevent the occurrence of anemia during pregnancy. This study aims to determine the effect of red beans on the treatment of anemia in pregnant women to avoid anemia.Research Method: Quantitative analysis with the one group pre-test post-test design. The samples in this study were all pregnant women who experienced anemia at the Puskesmas Sendana Palopo City between May and June in 2017, accounting for 30 people. Sampling used was total sampling technique. Data analysis techniques used the test t-test , which was one-sample test.Result: Based on the research, it obtained ρ = .002. This means that there is an effect of consumption of red beans on the treatment of anemia in pregnant women at the Palopo City Sendana Health Center, with mean Hb levels before treatment was 9.7 ± 0.9, and Hb levels after treatment was 12.5 ± 1, 1. This suggests that an increase in Hb after treatment by a mean difference was 2.8, so red beans can be used as a traditional medicine to increase Hb levels during pregnancyConclusion: there are influences of pregnant women who consume red beans on the treatment of anemia.

Abstract   Background: There was an increase of anemia in pregnant women and maternal death due to obstetric hemorrhage with hemoglobin (Hb) levels during pregnancy <10 gr/dl in Indragiri Hilir District, Riau Province. Objective: This study aimed to analyze the association between standard of antenatal care (ANC) and socio-cultural factors and the risk of anemia during pregnancy. Methods: A cross-sectional design was used in this study. This study included 172 pregnant women in the 2nd and 3rd trimesters from the Sungai Piring Public Health Center's working area. Data of Hb level of pregnant women was obtained from the maternal register and the MCH book. Data on the quantity of ANC, socio-cultural, adherence to iron-folic acid tablet consumption, and characteristics of pregnant women were collected through questionnaire interviews. Bivariate and multivariate analyses were conducted by using chi-square test and multiple logistic regressions respectively. Results: As many as 71.5% of pregnant women experienced anemia. Anemia in pregnant women was significantly associated with standard of ANC quantity, sociocultural status, and economic status (p<0.05). Inadequate ANC, poor socio-cultural, and low economic status increased the risk of anemia in pregnant women by 6.6 times, 11.4 times, and 3 times respectively. Conclusion: Standard of ANC quantity, socio-cultural, and economic status were dominant factors for anemia in pregnancy. Home visits or counseling through messaging applications can be carried out by health workers for pregnant mothers who do not attend ANC visits.   Keywords: Anemia, antenatal care, pregnancy, socio-culture   Abstrak   Latar belakang: Terjadi peningkatan kasus anemia ibu hamil dan adanya kasus kematian ibu akibat perdarahan dengan kadar haemoglobin (Hb) darah saat hamil di bawah 10gr/dl di Kabupaten Indragiri Hilir Provinsi Riau. Tujuan: Menganalisis hubungan antara standar antenatal care (ANC) dan sosial budaya dengan risiko anemia pada kehamilan. Metode: Studi ini menggunakan desain cross sectional. Sampel studi yaitu 172 ibu hamil trimester dua dan tiga di wilayah kerja Puskesmas Sungai Piring. Data kadar hemoglobin (Hb) darah ibu hamil diperoleh dari register ibu dan Buku KIA. Data kuantitas ANC, sosial budaya, kepatuhan konsumsi tablet tambah darah, dan karakteristik ibu hamil dikumpulkan melalui wawancara kuesioner. Analisis bivariat dilakukan dengan uji chi square dan multivariat dengan uji regresi logistik ganda. Hasil: Sebanyak 71,5% ibu hamil mengalamani anemia. Kuantitas ANC, sosial budaya, dan status ekonomi berhubungan signifikan dengan anemia pada ibu hamil (p<0,05). Ibu hamil dengan kuantitas ANC tidak sesuai standar, sosial budaya tidak baik, dan status ekonomi rendah berpeluang berturut-turut sebesar 6,6 kali, 11,4 kali, dan 3 kali untuk mengalami anemia. Kesimpulan: Standar kuantitas ANC, sosial budaya, dan status ekonomi merupakan variabel yang dominan terhadap anemia pada kehamilan. Kunjungan rumah atau konseling melalui aplikasi perpesanan dapat dilakukan oleh petugas kesehatan bagi ibu yang tidak melakukan ANC.   Kata kunci: Anemia, antenatal care, kehamilan, sosial budaya
