Background: Mayotte is a French overseas territory with significant socio-economic and health challenges. This study updates the prevalence of hypertension in Mayotte to estimate the awareness, treatment and control of this disease and identify any associated factors.
Methods: Data were taken from the cross-sectional Unono Wa Maore survey conducted in Mayotte in 2019.
Background: To our knowledge, there is no data on the epidemiology of patients hospitalized in intensive care unit (ICU) after a stay in Madagascar or other low-income countries. It is possible that such data may improve transfer delays and care quality for these patients.
Methods: In a retrospective study, we reviewed the charts of all patients admitted to ICU of the Reunion Island Felix Guyon University Hospital from January 2011 through July 2013.
Background: Few national recommendations exist on management of patients returning from abroad and all focus on hospitalized patients. Our purpose was to compare, in an intensive care unit (ICU), the admission prevalence and acquisition of multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria carriage in patients with ("Abroad") or without ("Local") a recent stay abroad, and then identify the risk factors in "Abroad" patients.
Methods: In this retrospective study, we reviewed charts of all the patients hospitalized in the ICU unit from January 2011 through July 2013 with hygiene samplings performed.
We report three cases of high drug-resistant microorganisms (HDRMO) carriage by patients repatriated from a foreign country. National recommendations suggest systematic screening and contact isolation pending results of admission screening of all patients recently hospitalized abroad. HDRMO carriage (carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumanii and carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae) was not isolated on admission screening swabs, but later between 3 and 8 days after admission.
