Typhoid Intestinal Perforation Prognostic Score in Poor-Resource Settings.

Background: Mortality from peritonitis due to typhoid intestinal perforation (TIP) in sub-Saharan Africa is high.

Objectives: This study aimed to determine the predictive factors of mortality, propose a prognostic score, and determine the appropriate surgical treatment for TIP in low-resource settings.

Materials And Methods: This was a retrospective data collection of peritonitis due to TIP admitted at Zinder National Hospital from 2014 to 2021.

Socioeconomic inequalities in underweight children: a cross-sectional analysis of trends in West Africa over two decades.

Objective: To study trends in socioeconomic inequalities in underweight children in West Africa, and specifically to analyse the concentration index of underweight inequalities and measure inequalities in the risk of being malnourished by household wealth index.

Design: Cross-sectional study.

Setting: The study used 50 Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) and Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys conducted between 1999 and 2020 across 14 countries by the DHS and UNICEF.

Life-course socioeconomic status and obesity: a scoping review protocol.

Objective: We aim to explore the literature that studies the links between life-course socioeconomic status and weight status and characterize the life-course approach used.

Introduction: Obesogenic environments are increasing rapidly in deprived environments, and cross-sectional studies have shown limitations in explaining the links between these environments and obesity. The life-course approach has been proposed recently to better understand the links between socioeconomic status and weight status.

Food environment trajectories: a sequence analysis from the CARTaGENE cohort.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to create a typology of longitudinal exposure to food environment based on socio-economic context.

Design: Food environment trajectories were modelled using a sequence analysis method, followed by a logistic regression to describe those trajectories.

Setting: The study took place in Quebec, Canada, using food environment data from 2009, 2011 and 2018 merged with participants' demographic and socio-economic characteristics.

[Upper Digestive Endoscopy at Zinder National Hospital: Indications and Results].

Objective: to determine the indications and results of upper digestive endoscopy (EDH) at the Zinder National Hospital.

Materials And Methods: this is a retrospective analysis of EDH reports, from digestive endoscopy registers from January 1, 2020 to February 28, 2021, covering 667 examinations, or a monthly frequency of 48 EDH.

Results: the average age of patients was 38.
