Aims: To describe the socio-demographic, clinical and therapeutic aspects of fistula. Methods: It is a retrospective and descriptive study. The sampling method was exhaustive. Results: 140 women with obstetric fistula have been identified. The average age was 27 years old; 87.14% were married; 41% were primiparous; 97.86% were housewives. Urogenital fistula was found in 94% of cases smaller than 2 cm in 56.43%; 51.43% were on their first course; 91% were operated with a cure rate of 32.03% and failure of 16.41%. In 51.56% of cases, the outcome of treatment was not notified. Conclusions: Obstetric fistula remains a public health problem in Niger, given the number of new cases registered. Compared with previous studies, there has been an increase in the average age and an increase in the number of women married with fistula. The completeness of the filling of medical records would allow a better assessment of the quality of care.

Abstract Context Enthesopathies are the determinant of a poor quality of life in adults with X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH). Objective To describe the prevalence of patients with enthesopathies and to identify the risk factors of having enthesopathies. Design and setting Retrospective study in the French Reference Center for Rare Diseases of the Calcium and Phosphate Metabolism between June 2011 and December 2020. Patients Adults XLH patients with full body x-rays performed using the EOS® low-dose radiation system and clinical data collected from medical records. Interventions None. Main Outcome Measures Demographic, PHEX mutation, conventional treatment and dental disease with the presence of enthesopathies. Results Of the 114 patients included (68% women, mean age 42.2±14.3 years), PHEX mutation was found in 105 patients (94,6%), 86 (78%) had been treated during childhood. Enthesopathies (spine and/or pelvis) were present in 67% of the patients (N=76). Patients with enthesopathies were significantly older (p = 0,001) and more frequently reported dental disease collected from medical records (p = 0,03). There was no correlation between the PHEX mutations and the presence of enthesopathies. Sixty -two patients had a radiographic dental examination in a reference center. Severe dental disease (number of missing teeth, number of teeth endodontically treated, alveolar bone loss and proportion of patients with five abscesses or more) was significantly higher in patients with enthesopathies. Conclusion Adults XLH patients have a high prevalence of enthesopathies in symptomatic adults patients with XLH seen in a reference center. Age and severe dental disease were significantly associated with the presence of enthesopathies.

Background: Meningitis is a brazilian public health problem due to annual outbreaks¹. Meningitis morbimortality rate is still relevant and the epidemiological description contributes to preventive actions¹,². Objectives: Describe the epidemiological profile of meningitis cases reported by region in Brazil between 2015-2020. Design and setting: A retrospective descriptive study of meningitis cases. The data were obtained from Sistema de Informações de Agravos de Notificação (SINAN). Methods: Information on age, sex, race, etiology, serogroup and case evolution were collected. Results: Between 2015-2020, 87,189 cases of meningitis were reported, among which 58.9% were male. The majority of cases occurred in the Southeast (53.8%). The white race stood out in the South and Southeast, and the mixed race in the North, Northeast and Midwest. The 20-29 age group was the most prevalent, with the exception of the Southeast, where the predominance was 1-4-year-olds. Viral meningitis was the most frequent (47.2%), except in the Midwest, where non-primary meningitis (31.1%) was the main agent. Serotype C (57.8%) was the most prevalent across all regions. Hospital discharge was the main evolution (77.5%), especially in South (79.6%) and Southeast (77.5%). However, the highest death rate occurred in the North (14,6%) and Midwest (12.2%). Conclusions: Male and young people are more affected by meningitis.

Introduction: Responsible for a high mortality rate and for causing numerous sequels in the general population, stroke arises from a deficiency in cerebral oxygen supply, commonly caused by obstruction of the arteries or extravasation of blood for the tissue. Genetic factors, style and quality of life are factors directly related to the incidence of stroke and its numerous hospitalizations. Objective: The study aimed to describe the epidemiological profile of hospitalized patients after clinical diagnosis of stroke. Methodology: This is a retrospective study, with a quantitative approach, carried out through the analysis of 252 medical records of patients hospitalized in the Medical Clinic and in the Mixed Stroke Unit of the Deputado Janduhy Carneiro Regional Hospital, in the municipality of Patos - PB, in the period of January 1 to December 31 2015. All medical records of patients affected by stroke in 2015 were included; internal with clinical diagnosis of stroke; Computed Tomography of Skull; Neurologist's evaluation; and readable handwriting. Data were collected using a questionnaire with objective questions, including variables related to the objective of study. They were submitted to simple statistical analysis and later, discussed and related to the literature from the reading and the comprehension of the researchers. Results: It was observed that the affected victim is woman, over 70 years of age, brown, living in an urban area and retired. The most frequent etiology of the stroke is of the ischemic type, being able to notice preexisting diseases in the patients, such as Arterial Hypertension and Heart diseases. 42% of patients were discharged after treatment in less than 15 days (78%). By causing many deaths and disabilities, bringing not only human, but social and financial damage to the health and social security system. Conclusion: More and more studies are needed to diagnose the causes of stroke, consequences and possible decisions that attenuate this problem. Keywords: Vascular Encephalic Accident. Hospitalization. Prognosis.

Introduction: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most frequent neurodegenerative pathology associated with age, being progressive, insidious and irreversible, whose cognitive and neuropsychiatric manifestations result in an eventual disability. Thus, the interest in evaluating the epidemiological profile of hospitalizations in Brazil, according to age and sex in the period of 5 years. Methods: Ecological and descriptive study. The data collection for this study was based on results obtained through the Health Information (TABNET) and the SUS Hospital Information System (SIH / SUS) in the period from 2016 to 2020. Results: In the period of 5 years, 7,431 admissions for Alzheimer’s were registered, with the highest prevalence in the Southeast, with 4,192 cases (56.41% of total admissions), followed by the South, with 1,727 cases (23.24%). The least incident region was in the North, with 199 cases. There was a predominance of females, with 4,842 cases (65.15%). The most affected age group was between 80 and over, with 4,398 cases, followed by between 70 and 79, with 2,117. From 2016 to 2020, there was a decrease of 19.25% in the number of hospitalizations, however it had a progressive increase until 2019, being the most incident year. Conclusion: The profile was given by a female figure over 80 years old, from the Southeast. As for the progressive increase until 2019, it is necessary to implement measures and policies guiding and welcoming these patients and their families, promoting a better quality of life for the affected population.
