Evolution of the nutritional status and factors associated with undernutrition in children under five of age between 2014 and 2017 in 24 health districts of Burkina Faso
The prevalences of undernutrition in children under five years of age appeared to decrease over the last decade in Burkina Faso. However, the country is now facing new health and security challenges that could threaten this progress. Therefore, it is essential to monitor the evolution of the situation within this specific context. We aimed to assess trends in undernutrition among children under 5 years of age, as well as the factors associated wi…
Men Who Have Sex with Both Men and Women in West Africa
HIV is highly prevalent in men who have sex with men (MSM) in West Africa. Many MSM in the region also have sex with women (MSMW). Accordingly, they are a potential bridge subpopulation for HIV transmission to women. We aimed to evaluate the proportions and characteristics of West African MSMW at high behavioral risk of acquiring HIV from male partners and transmitting it to female partners (HBRMF). The cohort ANRS-12324 CohMSM Study included 630…
Unmet needs for modern contraceptive methods among sexually active adolescents and young women in Togo
Background: The unmet need for modern contraceptives among sexually active adolescent and young women (AYW) in Africa contributes to high morbidity and mortality. To investigate the prevalence of unmet need for modern contraceptives and its associated factors among AYW in Togo, we performed a secondary analysis of data from the MICS-62017 survey. Method: We extracted data from sexually active AYW aged 15-24 years for the analysis and used multi-l…
Nutritional status of children under five years and associated factors in 24 districts of Burkina Faso
Malnutrition in children is a serious health problem, especially in Sub-Saharan Africa, with heavy socioeconomic burdens. The prevalence of stunting remains high in Burkina Faso. There is a need to further investigate undernutrition and identify the major factors contributing to its persistence. We aimed to assess the nutritional status of children aged under five years and the associated factors of undernutrition in Burkina Faso. We conducted a …
Longitudinal Follow-Up of Blood Telomere Length in HIV-Exposed Uninfected Children Having Received One Year of Lopinavir/Ritonavir or Lamivudine as Prophylaxis
Telomere shortening can be enhanced upon human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and by antiretroviral (ARV) exposures. The aim of this study was to evaluate the acute and long-term effect on telomere shortening of two ARV prophylaxes, lopinavir/ritonavir (LPV/r) and lamivudine (3TC), administered to children who are HIV-exposed uninfected (CHEU) to prevent HIV acquisition through breastfeeding during the first year of life, and to investiga…
Time and risk factors for death among smear-positive pulmonary tuberculosis patients in the Health District of commune VI of Bamako, Mali, 2016
The median time to death was 2 months from the start of treatment. Independent risk factors for death were age ≥ 45 years, weight < 40 kg, unknown and positive HIV status. We recommend close monitoring of patients over 45 years, HIV testing in those with unknown status, an adequate care for positive HIV status, as well as a nutritional support for those with weight below 40 kg during the intensive phase of TB treatment
Primary Cooking Fuel Choice and Respiratory Health Outcomes among Women in Charge of Household Cooking in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso
Background : Approximately 3 billion people, worldwide, rely primarily on biomass for cooking. This study aimed to investigate the association between respiratory symptoms among women in charge of household cooking and the type of fuel used for cooking. Methods : A community-based cross-sectional survey was conducted. A total of 1705 women that were randomly selected, completed the survey. We also performed a bivariate and a multivariate analysis…
Growth effects of exclusive breastfeeding promotion by peer counsellors in sub-Saharan Africa
ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT00397150
Voluntary HIV testing and risky sexual behaviours among health care workers
VCT was still very low among HCWs in Burkina Faso, while HRB was high.These findings suggest that 'HCW-friendly' VCT centres should be implemented, securing confidentiality among colleagues. In addition, refreshment courses on HIV risk reduction, counselling and testing are certainly required during the professional career of HCWs
The high burden of infant deaths in rural Burkina Faso
We observed a very high IMR in a rural area of Burkina Faso, a country where 75% of the population lives in rural settings. Community-based health interventions targeting mothers and children at high risk are urgently needed to reduce the high burden of infant deaths in these areas
Acceptability and feasibility of infant‐feeding options
In Burkina Faso, prolonged breastfeeding with introduction of ritual fluids from birth is a deep-seated norm. We explored HIV-infected mothers' views and experiences of the acceptability and feasibility of the World Health Organization's recommended infant-feeding options within a mother-to-child-transmission prevention trial. A qualitative study was conducted on 17 formula-feeding and 19 breastfeeding mothers, from a larger cohort of 51 eligible…
Costing universal access of highly active antiretroviral therapy in Benin
The study aimed to estimate costs of provision and access to highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) in order to assist in planning and resource allocation regarding scaling up and sustainable access to HAART in Benin. A prospective study was carried out to collect data on costs of provision of care at the Outpatient Treatment Centre (OTC) of the National University hospital in Cotonou, Benin and on costs borne by people living with HIV/AIDS…
Roundtable
MOTHERS are still dying during childbirth in your country. We write to you for this reason and because this is a crucial year for accelerating progress towards the Millennium Development Goal for maternal mortality - a three-quarters reduction by 2015. Over 99% of the worlds maternal deaths occur in developing countries. The women dying are in their prime of life: they are crucial to society and the economy; they sustain the next generation; they…
Women's perceptions of iron deficiency and anemia prevention and control in eight developing countries
Living with HIV
Our study aimed at studying HIV-infected women's experience with sharing serostatus with their partner and their group support. A survey was carried out among 79 seropositive women involved in a therapeutic trial in Bobo-Dioulasso, following freely consented prenatal HIV testing. The study revealed that women are reluctant to inform their partners and fear being stigmatized by relatives and friends. The major concern reported was health consequen…
