Seeking Behavior

Existing disease pattern and health seeking behavior in a community should be known to provide need based quality service. The aim of this study was to find out the disease pattern, common diseases, age distribution, sex ratio, seasonal influence, comorbidity etc in admitted patients in Khwaja Yunus Ali Medical College & Hospital (KYAMCH), a rural tertiary care Hospital in Bangladesh. In this retrospective and descriptive study total 550 patients were evaluated in 1 year period who were admitted either from OPD or through Emergency. Most of the diagnoses were made after evaluation according to the organ system involved eg. Gastrointestinal, hepatobiliary & pancreatic (15%); Respiratory (24%); Infective (6.5%); Renal (11%); Neurological (24%); Haematological (2.75%); Endocrine (6.75%); Rheumatological (4%); Psychiatric & Poisoning (6%). Hope we will get a understanding of disease pattern among the admitted patients in a good organized way through this study. Furthermore, it will be possible to calculate the mortality, treatment success, hospital staying, total cost of treatment thus to estimate the disease burden and cost effectiveness as well.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/kyamcj.v2i2.13261KYAMC Journal Vol.2(2) January 2012, 172-181

Background : Bangladesh, like many transitional nations, is straddling with the demographic and epidemiological transition. There is a critical need to improve public health in this region. But number of studies & representative data on the prevalence of diseases is inadequate. The objective of this study is to detect type & frequency of diseases among patients attending in medicine outpatient department (OPD) to improve the quality of healthcare. Materials and methods: This observational study was conducted at the outpatient department (OPD) of Chattogram Maa-O-Shishu Hospital Medical College from February to April 2018. Purposive sampling was used. Total 500 patients were included. Details were recorded in a data form and diagnosis was made on the basis of history, physical examination and necessary laboratory investigations. Data were collected and analyzed using the SPSS Version 20. Results : Total 500 patients were evaluated. Majority were female (61.2%). Highest number of patients i.e. 299 (59.4%) belonged to the age group of 16–35 years. Majority 405 (81%) of the patients in our study were from surrounding locality (Urban). The most common diseases was DM affecting 55(11%). HTN was 2nd common disease 51(10.2%). During this study we found gastrointestinal system was the most common affected organ system. Conclusion: Disease pattern study is very important to focus top problems, so that we can prepare ourselves to fight against them. Chatt Maa Shi Hosp Med Coll J; Vol.18 (1); Jan 2019; Page 27-30

Background: Rabies is an acute fatal disease of central nervous system, caused by Lyssavirus Type 1. Rabies in dogs is the source of 99% of human infection. Awareness about rabies and health seeking behavior are crucial determinants of rabies control. Present study was done to assess awareness regarding animal bite and health seeking behavior among affected population.Methods: A hospital based cross sectional study was conducted in central emergency department of Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences, Ranchi, Jharkhand for a period of four months. A semi-structured questionnaire was used for data collection. Sample size was 114 using consecutive sampling method. The participants were interviewed after taking informed consent.

Disease Pattern

Background: The neonatal period is a highly vulnerable time for an infant completing many of the  physiologic adjustments required for life outside the uterus. As a result, there are high rates of morbidity  and mortality. To reduce morbidity and mortality it is essential to know the neonatal disease pattern.  Neonatal disease pattern changes from time to time and place. Analyzing the neonatal admission pattern  helps the policy makers to make the better strategies and health care givers to serve better. Objectives: This study aimed to determine the disease patterns and outcome of patients admitted to the  Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) of Anwer khan Modern Medical College Hospital, a tertiary care  hospital in Dhaka, between January 2017 to December 2018. Methods: Retrospective data from the medical records of all neonates admitted during the study period  were reviewed and analyzed for age, weight, sex, reason for admission, duration of hospital stay,  diagnosis and final outcome. Results: The total number of neonates admitted during the study period was 262; 164 were male (62.6%), and  98 were female (37.4%). A total of 223 patients (85.12%) wereborn in the hospital while 39 (12.88%) were  born at home. The majority were admitted during the first 48 hours of life (72.2%). A total of 5 patients (2%)  weighed <1000 gm; 53(20.2%) weighed 1000-1500 gm, and 89 (34%) between 1600-2499 gm. Prematurity  and infection were the main reasons for admission (52.7% and 20%, respectively), followed by birth asphyxia  (12%) and neonatal jaundice (6.8%). A total of 206 patients (78.6%) were improved and discharged, 43 left  against medical advice (16.4%), 3 were referred for urgent cardiac intervention (1.1%) and 10 (3.9%) died. Conclusion: Prematurity, neonatal infection and birth asphyxia were the major causes of neonatal  morbidity and mortality.

Background: Timely transfusion of blood saves millions of lives, but unsafe transfusion practices puts millions of people at risk of transfusion transmissible infections (TTIs). Blood transfusion carries the risk of transfusion-transmissible infections including human immunodeficiency virus (HIVI&II), hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), malaria and syphilis. With every unit of blood there are 1% chances of transfusion associated diseases.Methods: This study was conducted over a period of 3 years (1stJanuary 2015-31st December 2017) at hospital blood bank of Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru Government Medical College, Chamba (H.P). The study was conducted on both voluntary and replacement blood donors who came to our blood bank and voluntary blood donation camps in and around Chamba. Statistical analysis used. Collected data was analyzed using appropriate statistical softwares such as EPI-INFO and MS-Excel.Results: In our study, we observed a total of 2616 donors over a period of 3 years. In the present study, 847 (32.37%) were voluntary donors and 1769 (67.62%) were replacement donors. Out of 2616 blood samples, 8 were HBsAg positive, 1 HCV positive.Conclusions: Our study shows that the number of blood donors is increasing every year. In our study, the seroprevalence of HBsAg was 0.3% and Hep C was 0.03% in total blood donors. The knowledge of current infectious disease pattern and trends in donor population can help in planning of future blood transfusion related health challenges.

Background: Mental and psychological disorders are responsible for significant morbidity and disability worldwide. Results of World Mental Health Consortium demonstrate that common mental disorders are highly prevalent globally. Only a limited proportion of patients with psychiatric disorders attend the healthcare facilities, in severe condition. Treatment by unqualified medical practitioners and faith healers is a common practice, which significantly delay the proper treatment. Methods: We conducted this survey at the psychiatry OPD at Jinnah Hospital Lahore from March 2015 to May 2015. 1000 study subjects of 14 -70 years of age from both genders were enrolled for this study randomly, who sought psychiatric opinion for first time. Results: One hundred patients were examined, mean age of subjects was 31 years (SD + 15.02), with 53.0% females. More patients (60.0%) were first time recognized by their family members, remaining sought treatment by themselves. As per history 42.4% patients had consulted to Qualified Medical General Practioners, 19.9% to Piers, 12.0% to Religious Clerics and 10.5% to Hakim, Fakir, Malang etc. and only 2.6% consulted to psychotherapist. Conclusion: It is concluded that in our setting psychiatric illnesses are always recognized late and medical practitioners do not bother to obtain consultative opinion from psychotherapist.
