Objective: To study the outcome of chronic hemodialysis patients in public centres in Abidjan using data from the Renal Registry of Cote d’Ivoire (2RCI). Method: This was a prospective analytical cohort study of End Stage Kidney Disease (ESKD) patients undergoing iterative hemodialysis in the network of public hemodialysis centres in Abidjan and who had been registered in the 2RCI register by September 2018. Results: Our study involved 363 cases out of 379 patients registered in the 2RCI registry database in 2018. The mean age of the patients was 47.3 ± 12.1 years, with a male predominance (sex ratio 1.97). In 70.24% of cases, they had no health insurance. The average duration of dialysis for our patients was 6.94 ± 4.1 years, with extremes of 2 and 28 years. This duration was less than 5 years in 44.3% of cases, between 6 and 10 years in 42.9% and more than 10 years in 12.6% of cases. The comorbidities found were hypertension in 95.6% of cases, diabetes in 7.8% and HIV in 4.6%. Anemia was found in 68% of cases and stroke in 8.6%. During the study period, 161 deaths were observed, representing a mortality rate of 44.35%. Acute lung oedema (29.8%), stroke (6.8%) and other cardiovascular diseases (19.3%) were the main causes of death. In multivariate analysis, factors such as age ≥ 65 years (HR = 3.66;CI 95% = 1.55 - 8.67;p = 0.003), “married/coupled” status (HR = 2.02;CI 95% = 1.24 - 3.31;p = 0.005) and normal weight at the start of dialysis (OR = 9.59, CI95% = 4.19 - 21.95;p = 0.001) were associated with the risk of death. Conclusion: Hemodialysis is performed in Abidjan on young patients. The mortality rate after three years of dialysis is very high. Hence the need to pursue the policy of decentralizing public centres and optimizing access to dialysis in terms of quality and quantity in order to improve patient survival.展开更多

Objectives: To identify factors associated with death in patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) during Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in Abidjan, C?te d’Ivoire. Material and Method: This was a monocentric retrospective analytical study of all patients over 18 years of age with AKI during COVID-19 at the Farah Polyclinic in Abidjan, C?te d’Ivoire. AKI was defined and ranked according to Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) 2012. The data were collected from the medical record and processed using RStudio. Results: Forty-three cases were collected. The average age was 58.5 12 years. The sex ratio (M/F) was 4.4. The main comorbidities were high blood pressure (60.4%) and diabetes (37.2%). AKI was at KDIGO stage 3 in 58%, KDIGO 2 in 21% and KDIGO 1 in 21%. The diagnosis of acute tubular necrosis was retained in 44.2% of patients followed by acute functional kidney injury in 32.6%. Hemodialysis was initiated in 48.8% of cases. The main indication of dialysis was anuria (46.6%). In total, 55.8% of patients died. Factors associated with death were KDIGO stage (p = 0.049), and invasive ventilation (p Conclusion: Mortality is high in patients with AKI during COVID-19 infection.展开更多
