Abstract

International audience; Co-morbidities can influence generic measurement of health indirect utility. We investigated their impact to assess indirect utility with the Medical Outcomes Study Short Form 6D (SF-6D) in patients with osteoarthritis (OA). In patients with hip and knee OA from the Knee and Hip Osteo-Arthritis Long-term Assessment (KHOALA) study, co-morbidities were assessed by the Functional Co-morbidity Index. Multivariate linear regressions were used to determine predictors of utility score.For the 878 patients included, the mean (standard deviation (SD)) utility score for 808 patients was 0.66 (11; range 0.32-1.00) and mean number of co-morbidities 2.05 (1.58). Number of co-morbidities (beta = -0.30; p = 0.002), psychiatric disease (beta = -0.043; p < 0.0001) and degenerative disc disease (beta = -0.014; p = 0.018) were predictors of low utility score. The WOMAC functional score had a higher significant effect (beta = -0.003; p < 0.0001) and explained a higher percentage of the model variance.; For the 878 patients included, the mean (standard deviation (SD)) utility score for 808 patients was 0.66 (11; range 0.32-1.00) and mean number of co-morbidities 2.05 (1.58).

Abstract

International audience; BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to test the psychometric properties of the French version of the European Organization for Research and Treatment (EORTC) quality-of-life colorectal questionnaire (QLQ-CR38) and the functional assessment of cancer therapy-colorectal version 4 (FACT-C). METHOD: This prospective study included 209 patients with colorectal cancer: 71 undergoing chemotherapy, 56 radiation, 15 surgery, and 67 survivors. Patients first completed in random order the FACT-C and the EORTC QLQ-CR38 and were asked if they had any preference for either questionnaire. The timing of administration of instruments differed according to patients' treatment to better assess psychometric properties. RESULTS: The FACT-C showed good acceptability, good reproducibility and excellent internal consistency. The QLQ-CR38 had lower internal consistency. Patients did not express a preference for one survey over another. CONCLUSION: This study confirms the value of the FACT-C and suggests some limits of the QLQ-CR38 for patients with colorectal cancer.

Abstract

International audience; BACKGROUND:The Epidemiology Network and Nephrology Information provides since 2001 the epidemiological monitoring of end stage renal disease (ESRD) in France. Two cross-sectional studies to estimate the level of quality of life in ESRD patients were performed in 2005 and 2007 and repeated in 2011. The main objective is to analyze the evolution of the quality of life of ESRD between these two surveys.METHODS:The studies were conducted on a representative sample of subjects aged 18 and over, prevalent dialysis or holders of a functioning kidney transplant last year, followed in center dialysis and/or transplantation in one of the eight French regions selected. The quality of life was measured by a generic questionnaire, and two specifics questionnaires.RESULTS:The evolution of the quality of life deteriorated slightly between 2005-2007 and 2011. There is however few dimensions affected. The variation in scores is not meaningful in general, with maximum decreases less than 4 points according to the statistical methods used. This diminution is not clinically significant.DISCUSSION:The quality of life in dialysis patients or transplant did not evolve between 2005-2007 and 2011. Currently, it is difficult to assess the benefits of the national plan for improving the quality of life of people with chronic diseases because the last data are too close to the end of the plan.; IntroductionLe réseau épidémiologie et information en néphrologie (REIN) assure depuis 2001 le suivi épidémiologique et la prise en charge de l’insuffisance rénale chronique terminale (IRCT) en France. La connaissance d’indicateurs de qualité de vie (QDV) relative à la santé est capitale afin de mieux comprendre les domaines touchés par la maladie et ainsi proposer des actions appropriées visant à mieux vivre avec sa pathologie. Dans ce contexte, deux études transversales visant à estimer le niveau de QDV liée à la santé des patients en IRCT ont été mises en place en 2005 (enquête dialyse) et 2007 (enquête greffe) sur un échantillon de patients français, puis reconduites en 2011. L’objectif de cet article est de comparer ces deux enquêtes et d’analyser l’évolution de la qualité de vie des patients atteints d’IRCT entre ces deux enquêtes.MéthodesLes études ont été réalisées sur un échantillon représentatif de sujets âgés de 18 ans et plus, prévalents dialysés (quelles que soient les modalités de dialyse) ou porteurs d’un greffon rénal fonctionnel depuis un an, suivis dans un centre de dialyse et/ou de transplantation dans l’une des huit régions françaises sélectionnées. Le recueil des données a été réalisé par auto-questionnaire adressé par voie postale au domicile des patients. La qualité de vie (QDV) a été mesurée par un questionnaire générique, le MOS SF-36 et deux questionnaires spécifiques : le Kidney Disease Quality of Life (KDQOL) version courte pour les dialysés et le ReTransQol V2 (RTQ V2) pour les patients greffés. L’évolution des scores a été réalisée par des analyses multivariées, le calcul d’un score de propension et de pondération afin de prendre en compte les différences de profil des patients entre les périodes d’enquêtes.RésultatsLa QDV s’est légèrement dégradée entre 2005–2007 et 2011, et ce, quel que soit le questionnaire utilisé (générique ou spécifique). Il n’y a cependant que peu de dimensions affectées, avec 2 ou 3 domaines par outils de mesure. Pour le SF-36, ce sont les dimensions « santé générale », « douleurs physiques » ainsi que « vie et relation avec les autres » qui diminuent de manière significative (−3,2, −3,7 et −3,8 points). Pour les questionnaires spécifiques, la dimension « traitement » du RTQ V2 est la plus affectée (−2,5 points), ainsi que la dimension « symptôme/problèmes » du KDQOL (−2,4 points). La variation des scores de QDV est peu signifiante dans l’ensemble, allant de −1,6 point à −3,8 points pour la plus forte baisse, selon les méthodes statistiques utilisées. Cette diminution reste toujours inférieure au seuil des 5 points considérés comme cliniquement signifiant.DiscussionLa qualité de vie chez les patients dialysés ou greffés s’est légèrement dégradée entre 2005–2007 et 2011. Le recueil des dernières données de notre étude ayant été réalisé dès la fin du plan pour l’amélioration de la qualité de vie des personnes atteintes de maladies chroniques 2005–2011, le bénéfice du plan paraît donc difficile à évaluer dans sa globalité.

Abstract

International audience; OBJECTIVES:To provide a reliable, validated, and culturally adapted instrument that may be used in monitoring dry eye in Brazilian patients and to discuss the strategies for the enhancement of the cross-cultural adaptation and validation process of a self-report measure for dry eye.METHODS:The cross-cultural adaptation process (CCAP) of the original Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) into Brazilian-Portuguese was conducted using a 9-step guideline. The synthesis of translations was tested twice, for face and content validity, by different subjects (focus groups and cognitive interviews). The expert committee contributed on several steps, and back translations were based on the final rather than the prefinal version. For validation, the adapted version was applied in a prospective longitudinal study to 101 patients from the Dry Eye Clinic at the General Hospital of the University of São Paulo, Brazil. Simultaneously to the OSDI, patients answered the short form-36 health survey (SF-36) and the 25-item visual function questionnaire (VFQ-25) and underwent clinical evaluation. Internal consistency, test-retest reliability, and measure validity were assessed.RESULTS:Cronbach's alpha value of the cross-culturally adapted Brazilian-Portuguese version of the OSDI was 0.905, and the intraclass correlation coefficient was 0.801. There was a statistically significant difference between OSDI scores in patients with dry eye (41.15 ± 27.40) and without dry eye (17.88 ± 17.09). There was a negative association between OSDI and VFQ-25 total score (P < 0.01) and between the OSDI and five SF-36 domains. OSDI scores correlated positively with lissamine green and fluorescein staining scores (P < 0.001) and negatively with Schirmer test I and tear break-up time values (P < 0.001).CONCLUSION:Although most of the reviewed guidelines on CCAP involve well-defined steps (translation, synthesis/reconciliation, back translation, expert committee review, pretesting), the proposed methodological steps have not been applied in a uniform way. The translation and adaptation process requires skill, knowledge, experience, and a considerable investment of time to maximize the attainment of semantic, idiomatic, experiential, and conceptual equivalence between the source and target questionnaires. A well-established guideline resulted in a culturally adapted Brazilian-Portuguese version of the OSDI, tested and validated on a sample of Brazilian population, and proved to be a valid and reliable instrument for assessing patients with dry eye syndrome in Brazil.

Abstract

International audience; OBJECTIVE: To study trends in the main indicators of health, medical practice and risk factors in France. POPULATION AND METHOD: A sample of all births during one week was set-up in 1995 (n=13,318), 1998 (n=13,718), 2003 (n=14,737) and 2010 (n=14,903), and we compared data from these four years. RESULTS: Between 1995 and 2010, maternal age and body mass index increased steadily, but tobacco smoking decreased. In 2010, 39.4% of pregnant women had a visit with a midwife in maternity unit, versus 26.6% in 2003. Deliveries occurred in large public hospitals more and more frequently. The increase in caesarean sections was no longer significant between 2003 and 2010. In general medical decisions during pregnancy and delivery were closer to professional recommendations in 2010 than in the previous years. Live births before 37 weeks increased steadily from 5.4% in 1995 to 6.6% in 2010, but the proportion of births below 2500g or under the 10th percentile stopped increasing since 2003. CONCLUSION: Routine national perinatal surveys highlight major trends in maternal characteristics, obstetric practice, organisation of services and perinatal health.

Abstract

A rapid increase in the prevalence of obesity has been reported in France since 1990. We investigated the impact of birth cohort on the changes in obesity prevalence after taking into account age and survey period.We analyzed data from 4 national surveys in 1997, 2000, 2003, and 2006. For each survey, self-reported data on weight and height were recorded on mailed questionnaires sent to a sample of 20,000 households, representative of the French population. Obesity was defined according to World Health Organization criteria as body mass indexor=30 kg/m. We modeled the prevalence of obesity using logistic regression with age, cohort, and period as explanatory variables. As these variables are linearly dependent, only nonlinear effects can be estimated uniquely and interpreted, after including specific chosen constraints in the models.There was a progressive increase in the prevalence of obesity between 1997 and 2006, attributable either to a period effect or to a cohort effect. There was a substantial departure from a linear trend for the cohort effect only, which seemed to be stronger in women: there was an acceleration in the prevalence of obesity with birth cohort for individuals born after the mid-1960s, in both sexes.Our results are consistent with previous studies in other countries. Compared with older generations, men and women born in the late 1960s may have been subject to early exposures that increased their lifelong susceptibility to obesity.

Abstract

International audience; BACKGROUND: Little is known about the causes of death in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected women in the era of combination antiretroviral therapy (ART). METHODS: In the French nationwide Mortalité 2000 and 2005 surveys, physicians reported causes of deaths in HIV-infected adults in 2000 and 2005, using a standardized questionnaire. We used multivariate logistic regression models to study the association between gender and AIDS-defining causes of death, adjusting for other characteristics. RESULTS: Of the 1013 HIV-infected adults who died in 2005, 247 (24%) were women. Half of women were infected through heterosexual contacts, compared with 25% men. In 2005, the proportion of AIDS-defining causes of death was higher in women than in men (43 vs 34%; P = 0.01), whereas it had been the same in 2000 (47% in women and men). In 2005, women died less frequently than men from respiratory malignancies (lung, ear/nose/throat) and cardiovascular disease (9% of all causes of death in women compared with 16% in men; P = 0.004), and suicides or accidents (4 vs 9%; P = 0.02). Socio-economic precariousness, younger age, less alcohol and tobacco consumption and lack of prior ART explained the higher proportion of deaths from AIDS in women compared with men. CONCLUSIONS: The higher proportion of AIDS-related deaths in women is probably explained by two factors: (i) some HIV-infected women, especially migrants in poor socio-economic conditions, may not have access to optimal care; and (ii) a lower prevalence of risk factors for respiratory, cardiovascular and violent deaths means that the risk of dying from non-AIDS causes may be lower in women.

Abstract

International audience; OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to describe the long-term occupational consequences of asthma in males of the ESTEV study, a French longitudinal cohort of working subjects aged 37-52 at inclusion. METHODS: Medical data, self-perceived health status, sick leave, occupational social class and employment characteristics were recorded twice by occupational physicians in 1990 (12,233 subjects) and 1995 (10,608 subjects). Asthma was characterized as to its onset (childhood, i.e., before age 20 vs. adult) and to its past versus current status by the physician. RESULTS: Of the 398 asthmatics, the onset was before age 20 for 226 and the asthma status was classified as current for 159 subjects. Unemployment was not higher before baseline or during follow-up, in asthmatics as compared to non-asthmatics, despite a significantly higher prevalence of sick leave in the previous year among current asthmatics (38.4% vs. 27.0%, P = 0.005). Being a blue collar worker in 1990 is negatively related to childhood asthma but not to the current asthma status. In 1995, current adult-onset asthmatics had stopped working due to disability more frequently than never-asthmatics. CONCLUSION: Our findings suggest that the major consequence of asthma on employment status is a selective exclusion, observed in childhood asthmatics at the beginning of their working life and in current adult-onset asthmatics at the end of their working life. Past unemployment was shown not to be higher in working asthmatics.

Abstract

International audience; BACKGROUND: EUROCARE is the largest population-based cooperative study on survival of patients with cancer. The EUROCARE project aims to regularly monitor, analyse, and explain survival trends and between-country differences in survival. This report (EUROCARE-4) presents survival data for eight selected cancer sites and for all cancers combined, diagnosed in adult (aged >/=15 years) Europeans in 1995-99 and followed up until the end of 2003. METHODS: We analysed data from 83 cancer registries in 23 European countries on 2 699 086 adult cancer cases that were diagnosed in 1995-99 and followed up to December, 2003. We calculated country-specific and mean-weighted age-adjusted 5-year relative survival for eight major cancers. Additionally, case-mix-adjusted 5-year survival for all cancers combined was calculated by countries ranked by total national expenditure on health (TNEH). Changes to survival were analysed relative to cases diagnosed in 1990-94. FINDINGS: Mean age-adjusted 5-year relative survival for colorectal (53.8% [95% CI 53.3-54.1]), lung (12.3% [12.1-12.5]), breast (78.9% [78.6-79.2]), prostate (75.7% [75.2-76.2]), and ovarian (36.3% [35.7-37.0]) cancer was highest in Nordic countries (except Denmark) and central Europe, intermediate in southern Europe, lower in the UK and Ireland, and worst in eastern Europe. Survival for melanoma (81.6% [81.0-82.3]), cancer of the testis (94.2% [93.4-95.0]), and Hodgkin's disease (80.0% [79.0-81.0]) varied little with geography. All-cancer survival correlated with TNEH for most countries. Denmark and UK had lower all-cancer survival than countries with similar TNEH; Finland had high all-cancer survival, but moderate TNEH. Survival increased and intercountry survival differences narrowed between the data for 1990-94 and 1995-99 for, notably, Hodgkin's disease (range 66.1-82.9 [IQR 72.2-78.6] vs 74.0-83.9 [78.6-81.9]), colorectal (29.4-56.7 [45.8-54.1] vs 38.8-59.7 [50.7-57.5]), and breast (61.7-82.7 [72.3-78.3] vs 69.3-87.6 [76.6-82.7]) sites. INTERPRETATION: Increases in survival and decreases in geographic differences over time, which are mainly due to improvements in health-care services in countries with poor survival, might indicate better cancer care. Wealthy countries with high TNEH generally had good cancer outcomes, but those with conspicuously worse outcomes than those with similar TNEH might not be allocating health resources efficiently.

Abstract

International audience; BACKGROUND: Traditional cancer-survival analyses provide data on cancer management at the beginning of a study period, and are often not relevant to current practice because they refer to survival of patients treated with older regimens that might no longer be used. Therefore, shortening the delay in providing survival estimates is desirable. Period analysis can estimate cancer survival by the use of recent data. We aimed to apply the period-analysis method to data that were collected by European cancer registries to estimate recent survival by country and cancer site, and to assess survival changes in Europe. We also compared our findings with data on cancer survival in the USA from the US SEER (Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results) programme. METHODS: We analysed survival data for patients diagnosed with cancer in 2000-02, collected from 47 of the European cancer registries participating in the EUROCARE-4 study. 5-year period relative survival for patients diagnosed in 2000-02 was estimated as the product of interval-specific relative survival values of cohorts with different lengths of follow-up. 5-year survival profiles for patients diagnosed in 2000-02 were estimated for the European mean and for five European regions, and findings were compared with US SEER registry data for patients diagnosed in 2000-02. A 5-year survival profile for patients diagnosed in 1991-2002 and a 10-year survival profile for patients diagnosed in 1997-2002 were also estimated by the period method for all malignancies, by geographical area, and by cancer site. FINDINGS: For all cancers, age-adjusted 5-year period survival improved for patients diagnosed in 2000-02, especially for patients with colorectal, breast, prostate, and thyroid cancer, Hodgkin's disease, and non-Hodgkin lymphoma. The European mean age-adjusted 5-year survival calculated by the period method for 2000-02 was high for testicular cancer (97.3% [95% CI 96.4-98.2]), melanoma (86.1% [84.3-88.0]), thyroid cancer (83.2% [80.9-85.6]), Hodgkin's disease (81.4% [78.9-84.1]), female breast cancer (79.0% [78.1-80.0]), corpus uteri (78.0% [76.2-79.9]), and prostate cancer (77.5% [76.5-78.6]); and low for stomach cancer (24.9% [23.7-26.2]), chronic myeloid leukaemia (32.2% [29.0-35.7]), acute myeloid leukaemia (14.8% [13.4-16.4]), and lung cancer (10.9% [10.5-11.4]). Survival for patients diagnosed in 2000-02 was generally highest for those in northern European countries and lowest for those in eastern European countries, although, patients in eastern European had the highest improvement in survival for major cancer sites during 1991-2002 (colorectal cancer from 30.3% [28.3-32.5] to 44.7% [42.8-46.7]; breast cancer from 60% [57.2-63.0] to 73.9% [71.7-76.2]; for prostate cancer from 39.5% [35.0-44.6] to 68.0% [64.2-72.1]). For all solid tumours, with the exception of stomach, testicular, and soft-tissue cancers, survival for patients diagnosed in 2000-02 was higher in the US SEER registries than for the European mean. For haematological malignancies, data from US SEER registries and the European mean were comparable in 2000-02, except for non-Hodgkin lymphoma. INTERPRETATION: Cancer-service infrastructure, prevention and screening programmes, access to diagnostic and treatment facilities, tumour-site-specific protocols, multidisciplinary management, application of evidence-based clinical guidelines, and recruitment to clinical trials probably account for most of the differences that we noted in outcomes.

Abstract

International audience; OBJECTIVE: To assess self-reported morbidity and its determining factors in South Lebanon, with an emphasis on the influence of the habitat location (urban vs. rural) and gender. METHODS: Cross-sectional survey in 2000 among 524 South Lebanon residents >/=14 years sampled from a random sample of households using a multi-level cluster sampling technique. Data on self-reported morbidity, lifestyle and socioeconomic status were collected through interviews, using a standardized questionnaire. To evaluate deprivation, a new index was created; the modified 'Living Conditions Index'. Stepwise logistic regression analysis was performed to test the effect of habitat and gender on self-reported morbidity. RESULTS: People in one-fifth of the households lived in precarious conditions. Illiteracy was significantly higher in rural than urban settings. Urban residents reported obesity, varicose veins, anxiety/depression and visual disorders more often. Illiteracy, headaches, lumbar pain, varicose veins and anxiety/depression were more frequently reported by women, whereas ulcers, hearing disorders, cardio-vascular diseases and their risk factors were more frequently reported by men. Precarious living conditions were associated with headaches, lumbar pains and insomnia. Individuals covered by a health insurance sought care more often than the uninsured. CONCLUSION: Habitat location had only a minor influence on self-reported morbidity; women perceived their health as poorer than men and a number of disease conditions were influenced by deprivation. Our study confirms that the epidemiological transition phenomenon had occurred in South Lebanon in 2000. Our community-based data can serve as a baseline for monitoring changes in health in South Lebanon in the future and especially those because of the war that emerged in July 2006.

Abstract

International audience; OBJECTIVE: To determine the true community prevalence of human cystic (CE) and alveolar (AE) echinococcosis (hydatid disease) in a highly endemic region in Ningxia Hui, China, by detecting asymptomatic cases. METHODS: Using hospital records and "AE-risk" landscape patterns we selected study communities predicted to be at risk of human echinococcosis in Guyuan, Longde and Xiji counties. We conducted community surveys of 4773 individuals from 26 villages in 2002 and 2003 using questionnaire analysis, ultrasound examination and serology. FINDINGS: Ultrasound and serology showed a range of prevalences for AE (0-8.1%; mean 2%) and CE (0-7.4%; mean 1.6%), with the highest prevalence in Xiji (2% for CE, 2.5% for AE). There were significant differences in the prevalence of CE, AE and total echinococcosis between the three counties and villages (with multiple degrees of freedom). While hospital records showed 96% of echinococcosis cases attributable to CE, our survey showed a higher prevalence of human AE (56%) compared to CE (44%). Questionnaire analysis revealed that key risk factors for infection were age and dog ownership for both CE and AE, and Hui ethnicity and being female for AE. Drinking well-water decreased the risk for both AE and CE. CONCLUSION: Echinococcosis continues to be a severe public health problem in this part of China because of unhygienic practices/habits and poor knowledge among the communities regarding this disease.

Abstract

In Hobukesar, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, (China), a mass-screening programme for human cystic echinococcosis (CE) was performed during 1995 and 1996. After the survey 51 cases were followed-up using ultrasound scan and serology for 1–8 years (1996–2003). These included 20 CE cases treated by surgery (endocystectomy), four CE cases treated by percutanous drainage (PAIR), six untreated CE cases, five ultrasound ‘query’ cases, eight cases of isolated hepatic calcifications, four previous CE surgery cases whose ultrasound was now normal, and four seropositive cases who exhibited a normal hepatic ultrasound. Follow-up results indicated that in the untreated CE patients, one case exhibited a spontaneous cure within 4 years, another case changed from a hepatic hydatid cyst that contained a floating laminated membrane (type CE3) to a cyst that contained daughter cysts (type CE2) within 1 year of follow-up. In the 20 surgically treated cases, two recurrent CE cases occurred within 4 years, and five cases had had residual cavities for more than 4 or 8 years. Of the 4 PAIR treated cases, two recurrent cases of CE occurred within 4 or 8 years of follow-up. Serological follow-up data showed that specific IgG antibody levels were persistently positive in most CE cases, but exhibited a decreasing tendency in cases that were effectively treated by surgery; In contrast, serum IgG levels in the PAIR group or in the recurrent CE cases after surgery exhibited an increasing tendency. At least one persistant seropositive case with an isolated hepatic calcification was considered to be abortive CE. Keywords: Cystic echinococcosis; Ultrasound; Serology; Follow-up

Abstract

International audience; OBJECTIVES: To compare levels of disability of people with and without hip and knee arthroplasty in a random national sample. METHODS: In 1999 a screening questionnaire to classify people into groups of increasing probabilities of disability was sent to 417 500 people; response rate 86%. The study population was obtained by a stratified randomisation, with a high sampling rate for the most severely disabled group and a minimum sampling rate for people without daily living restrictions. A computer assisted interview to assess levels of disability, dependence, and handicap was given to 21 760 people; response rate 78%. A weighting factor was applied to obtain estimates representative of the French population. The presence of chronic conditions, impairments, and disability was ascertained from the subjects' reports. RESULTS: The hip and knee arthroplasty group comprised 815 subjects in the sample, indicating an estimated 691 000 subjects (95% confidence interval (CI) 597 000 to 785 000) in the French non-institutionalised population. The prevalence of arthroplasty is estimated at 1.2%. After adjustments for confounding factors, activity limitations were greater among subjects with arthroplasty for the following activities: climbing stairs (odds ratio (OR)=4.0, 95% CI 2.8 to 5.8); walking distance (OR=3.4, 95% CI 2.5 to 4.6 for a walking distance less than 500 m); bending forward (OR=3.2, 95% CI 2.2 to 4.7); cutting toenails (OR=2.8, 95% CI 1.9 to 3.9); carrying (OR=2.6, 95% CI= 1.8 to 3.8); shopping (OR=2.1, 95% CI 1.5 to 2.9). CONCLUSIONS: This study would be useful to policy-makers considering population strategies for managing disabling arthritis.

Abstract

The legal delay for abortion in France has recently been prolonged from 10 (12 weeks of amenorrhea) to 12 weeks (14 weeks of amenorrhea). With the progress in sonography, certain foetuses may exhibit malformations during the first trimester. Diagnosis of foetal gender at 12 weeks of amenorrhea is sometimes possible. We studied the possibility that the prolonged legal delay before abortion might incite women to abort, simply on sonographic criteria.Our enquiry was conducted in March 2001 in the department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology of the Jean Verdier hospital in Bondy. Two questionnaires were drawn-up by the Medical Ethics Laboratory of the Necker Hospital in Paris and were distributed to 128 women and 24 nurses.Recourse to abortion was high if laparoschisis or the absence of a hand was revealed, low in the case of opacity of the neck, and almost inexistent in the case of unwanted gender, in a female population with less than one child.A national consensus on foetal abnormalities to be searched for, and not to be searched for (Number of fingers? Upper lip?...) and the eventual detection of the gender during sonography of the 1st trimester is urgent in view of the technological progress made. Clear and reassuring information is essential when confronted with foetal abnormalities and must lead to complete and precise antenatal diagnosis (caryotyping, sonographic control 2 or 3 weeks later).

Abstract

International audience; The Africa Child Survival Initiative-Combatting Childhood Communicable Diseases (ACSI-CCCD) Project is a primary health care activity that focuses on antenatal care, immunization, diarrhoeal disease control, and malaria control in children under 5 years of age. In order to gauge progress made in the project, a community-based health interview survey to measure simultaneously several prevention and treatment indicators was carried out in 1986 in Conakry, Guinea. A sample of 1415 caretakers and their 2048 children aged under 5 years was visited using a cluster sampling technique. The survey documented the levels of literacy and health education awareness of the caretakers, measured the vaccination coverage levels for children and women of childbearing age, and determined treatment practices for diarrhoea and malaria. Of the 637 women who reported having given birth in the previous 12 months, 96% had visited an antenatal clinic, but only 49% had had two or more doses of tetanus toxoid, and 13% took weekly chemoprophylaxis against malaria. The vaccination coverage for measles was 16% for children aged 12-23 months. Oral rehydration therapy (ORT) was given to 16% of children with diarrhoea; however, only 43% of those who were administered ORT at home were treated according to standard guidelines. Of children with diarrhoea, 51% were given antidiarrhoeal or antimicrobial drugs by caretakers. Fever was treated at home for 79% of the febrile children, and 43% of those with fever also visited health units. The use of injectable antimalarials and prolonged treatments with chloroquine were common. Combining findings from a population-based community study with an assessment of practices in health facilities can provide reliable information for the implementation and monitoring of selective components of primary health care.
