ABSTRACT

Introduction : La somnolence diurne excessive (SDE) est responsable d'environ 10 à 20% des acci-dents routiers dans le monde. Sa prévalence est mal connue dans la population béninoise. Objectif : Étudier la SDE chez les conducteurs professionnels de véhicules poids lourds sur longue distance ou « routiers » stationnant dans la ville de Parakou en 2014. Méthodes: Il s'est agi d'une étude transversale qui a porté sur les routiers, en transit dans la ville deParakou. Un questionnaire standardisé a été administré au cours d'entretiens individuels en face-à-face enquêteur-enquêté en septembre 2014. La SDE a été définie par un score d'Epworth ≥ 10. Résultats :Un total de 316 routiers a été inclus sur 374 recensés. L'âge moyen était de 32,5 ans ± 9 ans. La plupart d'entre eux avait un niveau d'instruction faible (67,7%) et une ancienneté ≥ 5 ans (63,9%). La prévalence de la SDE était de 23,4%. Elle était positivement associée à la pratique de la sieste (p<0,001). Elle était inversement associée à la durée de sommeil ≥ 6h par nuit (p=0,026), à la pratique régulière d'activité physique (p=0,039) et à la prise de médicaments (p=0,013).Conclusion : La prévalence de la SDE est importante dans la population étudiée. Des mesures de prévention ciblées tenant compte des facteurs associés s'imposent pour sa prévention chez les rou-tiers au Bénin

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: Several factors including grades obtained in the Baccalaureate can influence academic performance of first year medical students. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between results achieved by students taking Baccalaureate exam and student academic success during the first year of medical school. METHODS: We conducted an analytical study that included the whole number of students regularly enrolled in their first year of medical school at the university of Parakou in the academic year 2010-2011. Data for the scores for each academic discipline and distinction obtained in the Baccalaureate were collected. Multivariate analysis using logistic regression and multiple linear regression made it possible to determine the best predictors of success and grade point average obtained by students at the end of the year. SPSS Statistics 17.0 was used to analyse data and a p value p < 0.05 was considered significant. RESULTS: Among the 414 students regularly enrolled, we could exploit the data on 407 students. They were aged 15-31 years; 262 (64.4%) were male. 98 were enrolled with a success rate of 23.7%. Concerning men, the scores obtained in mathematics, in physical sciences, the grade point average obtained in the Baccalaureate and honors obtained in the Baccalaureate were associated with their success at the end of the year, but in multivariate analysis only a score in physical sciences > 15/20 was associated with success (OR: 2,8 [1,32-6,00]). Concerning the general average grade obtained at the end of the year, only an honor obtained in the Baccalaureate was associated (standard error of the correlation coefficient: 0,130 Beta =0,370 and p=0,00001). CONCLUSION: The best predictors of student academic success during the first year were a good grade point average in physical sciences during the Baccalaureate and an honor obtained in the Baccalaureate The inclusion of these elements in the enrollement of first-year students could improve academic performance.
