The objective of our study was to estimate the performance of Sahli method. A comparative study of the measure of the rate of hemoglobin was made from Sahli method and analyzer of hematology at 172 patients. The determination of the rate of hemoglobin by the analyzer is held as reference method. Prevalence of the anemia was 33.7 % and 30.2 % respectively for the analyzer and the Sahli. The sensibility and the specificity of Sahli are respectively 77.6 % and 93.9 % and the exactness was 88.4%. The average concentration of hemoglobin was respectively 12.1 g/dL (± 3.06) and 11.9 g/dL (± 2.71) by analyzer and by Sahli (p = 0.95). The Sahli showed to be a method of good sensibility, very good specificity in the diagnosis of the anemia at the patients. Her exactness being very good, it is interesting both in the evaluation of the anemia and in the dosage of hemoglobin. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Résumé Objectif Déterminer les facteurs associés aux décès périnatals à l’hôpital Dr Rau. Modalités Une enquête cas-témoins était menée sur la période allant du 1 er janvier au 31 décembre 2012 avec une proportion d’un cas pour deux témoins d’où 273 dossiers médicaux ont été exploités. Une régression logistique a permis d’identifier les facteurs de risque de cette mortalité. Les cas étaient les mortinaissances et les décès néonatals précoces. Les témoins étaient les nouveau-nés vivants déchargés de cet hôpital. Résultats Trente-deux décès périnatals/1000 naissances vivantes étaient enregistrés. Les principaux facteurs associés à la mortalité périnatale étaient les maladies sur grossesse, l’hypotrophie fœtale, les soins prénatals insuffisants, la prématurité et l’âge maternel avancé ( p < 0,05). Conclusion La lutte contre la mortalité périnatale passe par des consultations prénatales de qualité et une assistance soutenue en salle de couches et en post-partum. Summary Purpose To determine factors associated with perinatal mortality to the Dr Rau hospital. Methods A case control study was conducted at Dr Rau hospital from January 1st to December 31 2012 with a proportion of a case for two controls and 273 medical files have been exploited. A logistical regression permitted to identify factors associated with perinatal mortality. Cases were stillbirths and early neonatal deaths. Controls were live newborns discharged from the hospital. Results Thirty-two perinatal deaths/1000 live births were registered. The main factors associated with perinatal mortality were maternal associated diseases, fetal hypotrophy, advanced maternal age, prematurity and insufficient antenatal care ( P < 0.05). Conclusion The struggle against the perinatal mortality passes by an organization of the prenatal consultations of quality and a follow-up brought closer of women in postpartum. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
