Article Synopsis
- This study examined the prevalence and effects of primary headaches in students aged 8-12 in Douala, Cameroon, highlighting the issue's significance among young children.
- A total of 2056 students were surveyed, revealing an 85.7% headache prevalence, with migraine (26.1%) and tension-type headache (15.1%) being the most common forms.
- The findings show that primary headaches, particularly migraines, lead to increased school absenteeism and disruptions in daily activities for affected children.
Introduction: Coma is a medical emergency, and optimal management, especially in a resource-poor setting, depends on knowledge of its aetiology and predictors of outcome. This study aimed to provide hospital-based data on the prevalence, etiology, and outcome of non traumatic coma (NTC) in adults at a tertiary level in Cameroon.
Methods: A three year retrospective cohort study of medical records of patients aged 18 years and above, who presented in coma of non-traumatic origin at a Cameroon emergency department (ED) was conducted.
Background: We have previously shown headache to be highly prevalent in Cameroon. Here we present the attributed burden. We also perform a headache-care needs assessment.

As part of the Global Campaign against Headache, we investigated the prevalence of headache in Cameroon, in Central SSA.
Methods: We used the same methodology as the studies in Zambia and Ethiopia, employing cluster-randomized sampling in four regions of Cameroon, selected to reflect the country's geographic, ethnic and cultural diversities.
To investigate the relationship between the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) and the Study of Osteoporotic Fractures (SOF) index. We present data from a cross-sectional survey conducted in Cameroon. Frailty was defined as an SOF index > 0.
