Background: Early sexual intercourse (ESI) is a global public health problem. In Congo, associated factors with ESI have been under-studied. Objective: To analyse factors associated with early sexual intercourse among in-school adolescents in Brazzaville. Method: A cross-sectional analytic study with three-stage random sampling was carried out from March 2 to June 2, 2022 in Brazzaville secondary and high schools. Adolescents in the selected schools were interviewed about their sexual and social behaviour, and their family and school environment. Multivariate analysis using logistic regression was used to identify factors associated with ESI. The significance level of the p-value was set at 5% and the confidence interval at 95%. Results: Of a total of 1100 adolescents surveyed, 800 (72.7%) had ESI, 98% of them were female. The main reason for early initiation of sexual intercourse was curiosity (81.8%). Non-use of condoms and multiple sexual partnerships were noted respectively in 98.7% and 68.7% of adolescents who had experienced ESI. Female gender (p Conclusion: The prevalence of ESI is high, and the factors identified in this study may help to reduce it.

Introduction: Adolescent morbidity and mortality is a health concern. Objective: To determine morbidity, identify the causes of morbi-mortality and the factors associated with adolescent mortality in Brazzaville. Patients and Methods: A retrospective, descriptive and analytical study was carried out at the Brazzaville Hospital and University Center between January 2015 and December 2016. Adolescents hospitalized in clinical services whose records were workable were included. The Epidemiological, clinical and evolutionary variables were analyzed. The statistical test used was the khi-two, the significance level set at 0.05. Results: In total, Out of 67,488 hospitalized patients, 2062 were adolescents: 3% including 891 (43.2%) boys and 1171 (56.8%) girls mean age 14.8 ± 2.92 years, seen in average 9.38 days after the onset of symptoms. Childbirth 415 (20.1%), malaria 309 cases (14.9%), major sickle cell crisis 223 (10.8%) and traumatic injuries 166 cases (8.05%) are the main causes of morbidity. One death was recorded in n = 193 (9.4%), of which n = 104 (5.0%) in the first 48. Tumors, malaria and status epilepticus are the lead

Introduction: Malaria is a public health problem. Severe forms of malaria are linked to high mortality. Objective: To establish the cartography of severe malaria in two health districts in Cuvette-Congo. Methodology: An analytical and cross-sectional study was conducted from January to September 2019 in two health districts of Cuvette-Congo. Children aged three months to 17 years diagnosed with severe malaria were included. The epidemiological, clinical and paraclinical variables were analyzed. The statistical tests used were Pearson’s chi2 and the corrected Yates test. Results: Out of 806 children hospitalized, 277 had severe malaria (34.4%). There were 144 boys and 133 girls, an average of 60.9 months old. Anemia n = 247 (89.2%), repeated seizures n = 66 (23.8%), were the signs of severity observed. The clinical forms were isolated (n = 237) in 85.6% and associated (n = 40) in 14.4%, including 210 (88.6%) anemic form and 27 (11.4%) neurological form. The death occurred in seven cases (2.5%). The predictors of death were coma, jaundice, hypoglycemia, thrombocytopenia, hepatomegaly, undernutrition, dehydration and delayed consultation. Conclusion: The large number of cases of severe malaria in Cuvette, often in children under five years old, requires that the national program for control of malaria be strengthened by insisting on a wide distribution of long-lasting insecticide-treated mosquito nets.

Introduction: Malaria management has been a source of concern for health systems since the advent of the Covid-19 pandemic. Objective: To assess the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on severe childhood malaria in Brazzaville. Material and Method: A quasi-experimental intervention/non-intervention study was carried out between March and October 2020 in the pediatric departments of the Brazzaville University Hospital. Children aged three months to 15 years hospitalized were the target population. Two groups were formed: the “intervention” group, that of children hospitalized between March and October 2020 and the “control” group that of those hospitalized between January and August 2015. The study variables were epidemiological, clinical, biological and therapeutic. Chi-square and T-Student tests were used. The impact of the intervention was assessed by the absolute risk difference. Results: Of 1392 children hospitalized, 199 (14.6%) had severe malaria with an average age of 6.94 years. These were children under 5 years old n = 95 (47.7%) of low socioeconomic level n = 145 (72.9%) seen on average after 4.6 +/? 2.4 days. Repeated convuls

Introduction: Acute renal failure (ARF) is a medical emergency that does not spare children. Its interest lies in the search for etiologies and management made difficult by the poor quality of hospital technical platform in Africa. Objectives: To improve the management of ARF in children, determine its prevalence, and identify the causes and factors associated with mortality. Patients and Methods: We reviewed the records of children from one month to 17 years hospitalized between January 2016 and December 2018 in every pediatric department at the University Hospital of Brazzaville and included those whose discharge diagnosis included the item “ARF”. Study variables were age, sex, source, (para)clinical signs, stage and type of ARF, etiology and evolutionary profile. Results: Included were 18952 hospitalized children out of whose 253 had ARF 1.3%. There were 145 (57.3%) boys and 108 (42.7%) girls with an average age of 71.5 months. The mean time to consultation was 8.1 days. ARF was at failure stage in 147 cases (58.1%). It was functional in 210 cases (83.0%), out of which 95.1% resulted from severe dehydration. No extra-renal treatment was performed. Lethality was 34.4%. Hypovolemic shock (56.3%), severe sepsis (18.4%) and severe malaria (14.9%) were the main causes. Young age, provenance of the child, severe dehydration, deep coma, oligoanuria, stage of failure, hyperkalemia, absence of an extra-renal purification center were factors associated with mortality (p Conclusion: The high prevalence of ARF and its lethality requires public health actions including proper management of dehydration and malaria but also the creation of an extra-renal purification center.

Background: Severe hypoglycemia is a lifethreatening iatrogenic complication in the management of diabetic ketoacidosis, however, few studies have described how often this complication occurs. Objective: To identify the risk factors for severe hypoglycemia in children treated for diabetic ketoacidosis and to describe the sociodemographic, clinical characteristics and outcome of these children. Methods: From January 2013 to December 2017, 69 children admitted to pediatric intensive care unit with a diagnosis of diabetic ketoacidosis were enrolled in a retrospective and prospective study. Data of children with and without severe hypoglycemia were compared. Data were analyzed using Epi Info 7.***.5.0. Results: Out of 69 children enrolled, 10 (14.5%) had severe hypoglycemia (girls: 60%, median age 144 months (interquartile range, 108?-?168 months)). Episodes of severe hypoglycemia occurred during the first 48 hours of hospitalization in 8 (80%) children and during the late night shift in 6 (60%) children. Causes of severe hypoglycemia were: excessive insulin dose (60%), inappropriate infusion solution (70%), failure to properly monitor blood glucose levels (40%). Severe hypoglycemia risk factors were: age p?= 0.00004;OR = 42.0 [95% CI: 6.3?-?279]) and severe malnutrition (p?= 0.002;OR?=?10.9 [95% CI: 2.4 -?48.6]). Of 8 (11.6%) children died, 4 had severe hypoglycemia (p?= 0.01;OR = 8.8 [95% CI, 1.7 -?44.8]). Conclusion: The importance and severity of severe hypoglycemia require preventive measures to control risk factors.

Background: The place of blood glucose abnormalities in severe malaria is poorly defined. The objective of the study was to determine the incidence of glycemic abnormalities and to identify the factors associated with their occurrence and death. Patients and Methods: A prospective study was conducted from January to October 2016 at the Teaching Hospital of Brazzaville. The blood glucose levels of all children hospitalized for severe malaria were measured for 3 days. The variables were compared in univariate and multivariate analysis. Results: A total of 158 children with an average age of 69.6 months ± 43.2 (ranges: 5 months and 15 years) were hospitalized for severe malaria. Moderate hyperglycemia was observed in 52.53% of children, severe hyperglycemia: 17.72%, moderate hypoglycemia: 15.19% and severe hypoglycemia: 2.53%. Children aged 5 years (p = 0.03), females (p = 0.03), with disease duration before admission ≥ 7 days (p = 0.03) and referred from private hospitals (p = 0.04) had an increased risk of hypoglycemia. Age > 5 years was associated with hyperglycemia (p = 0.0006). The presence of hypoglycemia (blood glucose ≤ 3.3 mmol/L) on admission was associated with the risk of death (OR = 9.59, p = 0.02), no death occurred in children with hyperglycemia (p = 0.4) on admission. Conclusion: The incidence of blood glucose abnormalities is high in severe malaria. Hyperglycemia is more common than hypoglycemia, but only hypoglycemia is associated with an increased risk of death.

Background: Late diagnosis of HIV infection is an important cause of death in children. Objectives: To determine the prevalence of late diagnosed HIV infection in children, describe the socio-demographic characteristics and to analyze outcome of these children. Methods: From January 2015 to October 2016, we carried out a prospective analytical study in the pediatric departments of University Teaching Hospital of the Brazzaville. Late diagnosed HIV children were selected for this work. Data analysis was performed in univariate and multivariate with Epi Info 7.2.1. Results: Of the 6058 hospitalized children, 103 (1.7%) were selected, 57.3% were boys;the median age was 21.9 months (IQR, 17.8 - 76.7 months). Children of low socio-economic status accounted for 68.0%, those motherless: 43.7%. None of the children were tested for HIV before hospitalization. Mothers had a low education level in 60.2% of cases and were unaware of prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT): 60.3%. Children mostly showed signs of stages 4 (49.5%), and 3 (31.1%) of HIV infection, immunodeficiency was severe for 68.0% of children. Children discharged from the hospital accounted for 62.1% of which 15.53% against medical advice. The case fatality rate was 37.9%. The risk factors for death in univariate analysis were: age < 12 months (OR = 8.66), maternal death (OR = 17.93), severe malnutrition (OR = 66.07), clinical stages 4 (OR = 66.07) and severe immunodeficiency (OR = 17.37). The main pathologies responsible for death were respiratory infections (38.5%) and diarrheal diseases (30.8%). Conclusion: Improvement of PMTCT program effectiveness, universal access to early detection and antiretroviral therapy for infants are needed to reduce the number of late diagnosed HIV-children and therefore HIV-related morbidity and mortality.
