The aim of this study was to describe the epidemioclinical profile and associated factors with performance indicators of integrated management of severe acute malnutrition in children aged 06 to 59 months. Methodology: this was a cross-sectional study with retrospective data collection (January 2021 to December 2022). All children hospitalized for severe acute malnutrition in the pediatric department and whose medical records were usable were included. Data collected using a standardized questionnaire was analyzed with SPSS Version 20 software. Results: A total of 534 children were included. The 12 to 23 months age group (49.1%) and the female sex (53.18%) were the most affected. Fully vaccinated children by age represented 49.4%. The predominant form of malnutrition was marasmus (77.7%). Diarrhea/vomiting (30.3%), fever (18.4%) and cough (15.5%) were the main reasons for consultations. Cure, discontinuation and death rates were 78.5%, 2.1% and 9.2%, respectively. On univariate analysis, the factors statistically associated with performance indicators (cure, drop-out, death) were gastroenteritis (P-value Conclusion: This study reveals that the frequency of severe acute malnutrition remains high at the Kalaban Coro reference health center. Better prevention of illnesses such as malaria, gastroenteritis, and respiratory infections, as well as timely referral, could help facilitate its management.展开更多
文摘目的 探究芪地桃蛭二蝉方联合他克莫司治疗膜性肾病的效果及对抗磷脂酶A2受体(PLA2R)、B淋巴细胞活化因子(BAFF)及白细胞介素-6(IL-6)水平的影响。方法 选取2017年11月至2020年4月收治的84例膜性肾病患者为研究对象,将其随机分为对照组与联合组,各42例。对照组给予基础治疗加他克莫司治疗,联合组在对照组基础上加芪地桃蛭二蝉方治疗。比较两组的治疗效果。结果 联合组的治疗总有效率高于对照组,差异具有统计学意义(P<0.05)。治疗前,两组的24 h尿蛋白定量(24 h UPQ)、人血清白蛋白(HSA)、血清肌酐浓度(Scr)水平比较,差异无统计学意义(P>0.05);治疗后,两组的24 h UPQ、Scr水平均明显降低,HSA水平均明显升高,且联合组优于对照组,差异具有统计学意义(P<0.05)。治疗前,两组的PLA2R、BAFF及IL-6水平比较,差异无统计学意义(P>0.05);治疗后,两组的PLA2R、BAFF及IL-6水平均明显降低,且联合组低于对照组,差异具有统计学意义(P<0.05)。联合组的不良反应总发生率低于对照组,差异具有统计学意义(P<0.05)。结论 芪地桃蛭二蝉方联合他克莫司治疗膜性肾病效果显著,能够明显降低PLA2R、BAFF及IL-6水平,安全可靠,值得推广。
