Non-adherence to antihypertensive drugs and its risk factors among hypertensive patients, Marrakech, Morocco.

Non-adherence to hypertensive drugs is a barrier to controlling blood pressure and decreases hypertensive patients' quality of life. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of non-adherence to hypertensive drugs among hypertensive patients treated at Marrakech's primary health care facilities. A cross-sectional survey of 922 hypertensive patients treated at Marrakech's primary health care facilities for arterial hypertension was conducted between 2021 and 2022.

Bioclinical features of haemophilia patients in Benin in 2023: Towards better care.

Objective: To analyse the demographic, clinical and laboratory data of Beninese patients with haemophilia.

Method: A prospective survey was conducted in three different hospitals of Benin from April 2021 to March 2022, to analyse clinical and biological features of patients with haemophilia previously diagnosed or identified based on personal/family history.

[Blood count abnormalities in the association of sickle cell disease and malaria in clinical hematology at the CNHU-HKM in Cotonou (Bénin)].

Introduction: Although a protective effect of hemoglobin S has been described, malaria has frequently been associated with increased morbidity and mortality in sickle cell disease patients in Africa. Various cytopenias are frequently found on the haemograms of these patients. In Benin, a malaria-endemic zone with a high prevalence of sickle cell disease, the aim of this study was to establish and compare the blood count profile according to hemoglobin type in the association of sickle cell disease and malaria.

Uncontrolled blood pressure and its risk factors among hypertensive patients, Marrakech, Morocco.

Hypertension is a public health problem. Failure to control blood pressure figures is responsible for morbidity and premature mortality. This study aims to describe the characteristics of hypertensive patients followed at primary health care centers in Marrakech.

[Influence of white blood cells count on parasite density in Malaria in children aged 6 to 59 months in Benin].

Background: For many years, the treatment of malaria was based on clinical presumptive diagnosis, making its differential diagnosis with other causes of hyperthermia difficult. This drug pressure has led to the emergence of strains resistant to the most commonly used antimalarial drugs. This is why in 2004, the health authorities decided to revise the policy of malaria management by adopting a new strategy based on the rational use of artemisininbased combination therapies after the biological confirmation of suspected malaria cases.
