27. Screening for Diabetes and Hypertension in a Rural Low Income Setting in Western Kenya Utilizing Home-Based and Community-Based Strategies

Abstract

BACKGROUND: The burdens of hypertension and diabetes are increasing in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). It is important to identify patients with these conditions early in the disease process. The goal of this study, therefore, is to compare community- versus home-based screening for hypertension and diabetes in Kenya. METHODS: This was a feasibility study conducted by the Academic Model Providing Access to Healthcare (AMPATH) program in Webuye, a town in western Kenya. Home-based (door-to-door) screening occurred in March 2010 and community-based screening in November 2011. HIV counselors were trained to screen for diabetes and hypertension in the home-based screening with local district hospital based staff conducting the community-based screening. Participants >18 years old qualified for screening in both groups. Counselors referred all participants with a systolic blood pressure (SBP) ≥ 160 mmHg and/or a random blood glucose ≥ 7 mmol/L (126 mg/dL) to a local clinic for follow-up. Differences in likelihood of screening positive between the two strategies were compared using Fischer's Exact Test. Logistic regression models were used to identify factors associated with the likelihood of following-up after a positive screening. RESULTS: There were 236 participants in home-based screening: 13 (6%) had a SBP ≥ 160 mmHg, and 54 (23%) had a random glucose ≥ 7 mmol/L. There were 346 participants in community-based screening: 35 (10%) had a SBP ≥ 160 mmHg, and 27 (8%) had a random glucose ≥ 7 mmol/L. Participants in community-based screening were twice as likely to screen positive for hypertension compared to home-based screening (OR=1.93, P=0.06). In contrast, participants were 3.5 times more likely to screen positive for a random blood glucose ≥ 7 mmol/L with home-based screening (OR=3.51, P CONCLUSION: Community- or home-based screening for diabetes and hypertension in LMICs is feasible. Due to low rates of follow-up, screening efforts in rural settings should

Abstract

Objectives: This investigation characterizes the demographic characteristics of the patients attending a pharmacist managed anticoagulation clinic in the resource-constrained setting of western Kenya and outlines the challenges of delivering an anticoagulation monitoring service in this setting Methods: Through the collaboration of Purdue University College of Pharmacy faculty and local Kenyan pharmacists, a contextualized anticoagulation clinic care model has been developed which incorporates community health workers, pharmacy technologists, and physicians to deliver protocol-based care. Through the collection of data on standardized encounter forms, the initial demographic characteristics of this population are described. Results: The unique mix of indications for anticoagulant therapy of the 83 patients enrolled thus far can be seen as 9.6% have artificial heart valves, 18.0% have rheumatic heart disease induced valvular changes, and 59.0% have deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism. Several setting specific challenges have been identified including the potential for drug interactions with warfarin due to concomitant therapies for disease states such as tuberculosis and Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). Conclusions: With the increased awareness of the growing burden of diseases requiring anticoagulation therapy in sub-Saharan Africa, there is an emerging need for anticoagulation infrastructure in the context of provision of health care in western Kenya.
