Prognostic Factors of the Lethality of Stroke at the Sour ô Sanou University Teaching Hospital of Burkina Faso
Conclusion: The study has identified three prognostic factors of lethality that are the hemorrhagic stroke type, the altered state of consciousness, and the central facial paralysis. Given the high case fatality, it is important to develop and implement effective prevention and management strategies adapted to the resources for the optimal control of stroke in Africa.Cerebrovasc Dis Extra 2022;12:36 –46

Post-stroke Complications and Mortality in Burkinab è Hospitals: Relationships with Deglutition Disorders and Nutritional Status
The objectives of this study were to assess complications and mortality among hospitalized patients in Burkina Faso during the first two weeks after stroke, and to investigate associated factors. Patients with stroke were followed prospectively in Ouagadougou and Bobo-Dioulasso hospitals. Deglutition disorders and nutritional parameters were assessed at baseline (D0) and on Days 8 (D8) and 14 (D14). Complications and mortality were recorded up to D14. Factors associated with complications and mortality were investigated using multivariate analysis. Of the 222 patients included, 81.5% developed at least one complication, an...

Spontaneous Subarachnoid Haemorrhage in Neurological Setting in Burkina Faso: Clinical Profile, Causes, and Mortality Risk Factors.
In conclusion, our study showed a poor frequency of spontaneous subarachnoid haemorrhage with high mortality. Hypertension was the most common cause of spontaneous subarachnoid haemorrhage. PMID: 31210989 [PubMed]

Effectiveness of a community-based educational programme in reducing the cumulative incidence and prevalence of human Taenia solium cysticercosis in Burkina Faso in 2011 –14 (EFECAB): a cluster-randomised controlled trial
This study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT0309339. Findings Two villages in the same randomisation block were excluded, resulting in a final sample size of 58 villages. Overall, the intervention tended towards a decrease in the cumulative incidence of active cysticercosis from baseline to after randomisation (adjusted cumulative incidence ratio 0·65, 95% Bayesian credible interval [95% CrI] 0·39–1·05) and a decrease in active cysticercosis prevalence from baseline to after randomisation (adjusted prevalence proportion ratio 0·84; 95% CrI 0·59–1·18). The intervention was shown to be effective in ...

Changes in nutritional state and dysphagia in stroke patients monitored during a 14-d period in a Burkina Faso hospital setting
Neurologic pathologic conditions are the most likely to be associated with dysphagia [1]. Within this category, cerebrovascular accidents (strokes) carry the highest possibility of this association [2], with one-third to two-thirds of patients affected [3,4]. In developed countries, this issue has led to basic studies and to dysphagia care [5 –7]. In practice, nutritional problems are a major care challenge because dysphagia increases the risk of undernourishment [8], which can lead to complications (infections, decreased quality of life, increased mortality) [9–11].

Changes in nutritional state and dysphagia in stroke patients monitored during a 14-day period in a Burkina Faso hospital setting
Our five highlights are: • Undernourrishement prevalence was high at inclusion and worsened until 14th day• Nutritional status should be assessed upon admission using triceps skinfold and BMI• Women were particularly at risk of undernourrishement after stroke• Post stroke dysphagia prevalence was low and may be unde restimated• Multidisciplinary caring with formal guidelines of dysphagia was needed

Therapeutic route of patients at the acute phase of their stroke in Burkina Faso
The advent of the neurovascular units and thrombolysis has improved support for stroke in developed countries. Our objective was to study the therapeutic route of stroke patients in Burkina Faso, a country with limited resources.

Post-stroke epilepsy in Burkina Faso (West Africa)
Post-stroke epilepsy (PSE) is defined as “recurrent seizures following stroke with confirmed diagnosis of epilepsy”. Our objective was to describe the epidemiological, clinical and therapeutic PSE aspects at the Yalgado Ouedraogo Teaching Hospital, the main reference centre for neurological conditions in Burkina Faso. We conducted a re trospective study from January 2006 to December 2014. The data on thirty-two (32) cases of PSE was collected from a total of 1616 patients hospitalized for stroke, representing a rate of 1.98%.
