RESUMO

Contexte et objectif. Les hémopathies malignes (HM) constituent un problème majeur de santé publique en Afrique sub-saharienne où les moyens de prise en charge sont limités. L'objectif de l'étude était de décrire les aspects diagnostiques, thérapeutiques et évolutifs observées dans la prise en charge des HM en milieu hospitalier de Kinshasa. Méthodes. Etude observationnelle historique de type suivi des cas d'HM hospitalisés, dans formations sanitaires de Kinshasa entre les 1er janvier 2011 et 31 décembre 2021. Seuls les patients âgés de plus de 18 ans ont été inclus. Les paramètres d'intérêt étaient englobés les données sociodémographiques, cliniques, biologiques, d'imagerie, du myélogramme, de l'analyse histopathologique des pièces biopsiques ganglionnaires ou extra ganglionnaires, le type de chimiothérapie et de la survie à 6 mois. Les tests de chi-carré et de Student ont comparé respectivement les proportions et les moyennes. L'analyse de Kaplan Meier et la régression de Cox ont respectivement décrit la survie et recherché les facteurs associés à la mortalité à 6 mois. Résultats.Sur 2678 patients suspects d'HM, seuls de 250 patients (9,3%, âge moyen 47,6 ± 15,8 ans, 62,4% d'hommes) ont eu un bilan de confirmation. Les adénopathies périphériques (54 %), la fièvre au long cours (48 %) et la poly transfusion (29 %) étaient les principaux motifs de consultation. Les perturbations hématologiques rencontrées étaient l'anémie (72 %), la thrombopénie (50 %), l'hyperleucocytose ( 0 %) et la leucopénie ( 0 %). Les syndromes lymphoproliferatif (68 %) étaient plus fréquents et répartis en lymphomes non hodgkiniens (50 %), Lymphome hodgkinien (27%) et myélome multiple (15 %). Les leucémies aigues venaient en deuxième position (12 %) suivi des syndromes myélodysplasiques (11 %) et des syndromes myéloprolifératifs (8 %). 61 % des patients ont bénéficié de la chimiothérapie. Durant les 6 premiers mois de prise en charge, la létalité globale était de 58,4 %. Conclusion. En milieu hospitalier de Kinshasa, très peu de patients suspects d'HM bénéficient d'une mise au point complète et de la chimiothérapie. Les adultes jeunes, surtout les hommes, sont très affectés et plus de la moitié d'entre eux décèdent endéans 6 mois. L'amélioration de l'accessibilité à la chimiothérapie et du plateau technique permettra une réduction de la létalité.

RESUMO

Introduction: osteoporosis seems to be uncommon in sub-Saharan Africa. The aim of this study was to determine prevalence and determinants of osteoporosis in Congolese outpatients attending rheumatology consultation for axial rheumatism in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of the Congo. Methods: a cross-sectional hospital-based study from January to December 2018 among outpatients received for axial rheumatism in 8 hospitals of Kinshasa. The parameters of interest were age, sex, body mass index (BMI), alcoholism, smoking, physical activity, sunlight exposure, intake of dairy products, the notion of personal or parental fracture, a bone mineral density (BMD) and a phosphocalcic metabolism. The BMD was measured by using the dual energy X-ray absorptiométry. Serum level of calcium, Vitamin D, phosphore and parathormon were determined to assess the phosphocalcic metabolism. Osteoporosis was defined by a T-Score ≤ -2.5 SD. Standard statistical tests were used to analyze the results. Results: ninety patients (75 women and 15 men) were included. Their mean age was 63.5 ± 12.2 years. Low back pain 71.1% (n=63) was the main symptom. The rate of patients with osteoporosis, osteopenia, and normal bone density was 34.4% (n=31), 43.9% (n=44), and 16.7% (n=15) respectively. Pathological bone fractures were not noted. Ageing (aOR: 1.31, IC95%: 1.11-1.54; p=0.002), smoking (aOR: 14.65, IC95%: 1.38-156.1; p=0.045) and non-obese status (aOR: 32.3, IC95% 1.50-696; p=0.032) were identified as determinants of osteoporosis. Conclusion: in the present study, osteoporosis is common in Congolese patients with axial pain and is more frequent in women. Its determinants are ageing, smoking and non-obese status.

RESUMO

Contexte et objectif. L'enjeu majeur dans le management de l'ostéoporose est l'identification des sujets à risque par la quantification du risque fracturaire. L'objectif de l'étude était d'évaluer le risque fracturaire chez les patients ayant consulté pour douleur du squelette axial. Méthodes. Il s'agissait d'une série des cas multicentriques menée sur des patients recrutés dans 8 hôpitaux de Kinshasa. Les paramètres d'intérêt comme l'âge, le sexe, l'alcoolisme, le tabagisme, la fracture de hanche chez un parent de 1er degré ou une fracture personnelle de fragilité ont été collectés auprès de chaque patient. La mesure de la densité osseuse avait été réalisée par absorptiométrie biphotonique à rayons X. Le risque fracturaire a été évalué par le calcul de l'indice fracturaire FRAX. Ce risque était élevé lorsque la probabilité de survenue de fracture de hanche était ≥ 3% et/ou des fractures ostéoporotiques majeures ≥ 20%. Des tests statistiques usuels ont été utilisés pour l'analyse des résultats. Résultats. 90 patients dont 75 femmes étaient inclus. Leur âge moyen était de 63, 5±12ans.L'ostéoporoseétaitdiagnostiquée chez 34,4% des patients, l'ostéopénie chez 43,9% et 16,7% avaient une densité minérale osseuse normale. Aucune fracture ostéoporotique n'a été observée dans la présente étude, mais près de 30% de l'ensemble de l'échantillon avaient un risque fracturaire élevé. L'ostéoporose était associée, dans environ 80% des cas (p<0,005), à un risque fracturaire élevé. Conclusion. La présente étude a montré que le risque fracturaire était élevé chez les patients atteints d'ostéoporose. Elle met en lumière la nécessité d'un dépistage précoce de cette pathologie.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: the purpose of this study was to describe the profile of serum lipases in patients with bone fractures and to investigate the associated factors. METHODS: we conducted a cross-sectional study at the Kokolo Military General Hospital in Camp Kokolo (KMGHICK) from July to October 2013. All patients admitted with bone fractures who had agreed to take part in the study were included. The control group included voluntary blood donors. The parameters of interest were demographic characteristics, serum lipase, lipidogram, the site and the number of fractures. RESULTS: eighty-three patients were included in the study, they were all male subjects. Mean age of patients was 35.8±12.8 years; 78.3% of fractures were due to gunshot-related trauma. Femur was the most common seat of fractures (30%), followed by forearm (20%) and ulna (15%). Mean serum lipase concentration was 43.6 ± 2.9 IU/L (normal value: ≤38IU/L) in patients with fractures compared with 30.3 ± 2.3 IU/L in the control group (p<0.0001). CONCLUSION: a significantly higher rate of hyperlipasemia was found in patients with bone fractures compared with the control group. Hyperlipasemia was not associated with clinicobiological fatty embolism syndrome.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: The aim of the present study was to describe the clinical and radiological features of knee osteoarthritis in Congolese outpatients attending the University Hospital of Kinshasa (UHK). METHODS: A cross-sectional study was performed in the rheumatology unit of the UHK from January to August 2012. Patients were consecutively recruited. The diagnosis of Osteoarthritis (OA) was based on the criteria of the American College for Rheumatology. Demographic, clinical and x-rays data were collected. The X-rays severity was assessed according to Kellgren and Lawrence's method. RESULTS: 1049 patients attended the Rheumatology unit of the UHK during the study period. An accurate diagnosis was reported for 839 patients, of whom 376 (44.8%) suffered from OA. Knee OA was diagnosed in 118 patients (31.4% of all OA patients). 101 patients accepted to be included in the study, 78 women (77.2%) and 23 men (22.8%). Their average age was 58.9 ± 10 years. A body mass index (BMI) ≥ 25kg/m2 was observed in 68 patients of whom 28 were obese (BMI ≥ 30kg/m2). The main symptoms were a mechanical pain (100%), swelling (40.6%), crepitus (79.2%) and mobility reduction (X%). Knee deformities were observed in some patients. At baseline, radiological damages > stage 2 of Kellgren-Lawrence were found in 70 patients. CONCLUSION: Knee OA is a common disease among outpatients who attend the unit of Rheumatology of the UHK. Its clinical profile is the same as what is reported in the literature. Obesity and skeletal abnormalities are encountered in the majority of patients.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is associated with a 5 to 10 years reduction in life expectancy due to premature atherosclerosis. This reduction is the consequence of traditional cardiovascular risk factors (TCRF) as well as systemic inflammation. The aim of the present study was to describe the prevalence and factors associated with subclinical atherosclerosis in RA at the University Hospital of Kinshasa (UHK). METHODS: Patients with a diagnosis of RA based on the 2010 ACR/EULAR criteria were included in this cross-sectional study from 1 June 2014 to 31 May 2015 at the UHK. RA disease activity was measured using the DAS28-ESR. Active RA was defined by a DAS 28 > 2.6. Severe RA was defined by the presence of extra-articular manifestation, joint erosions on X-rays or HAQ ≥0.5. An assessment of subclinical atherosclerosis was performed by the measurement of the carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT) using two-dimensional ultrasonography. Subclinical atherosclerosis was defined by a cIMT ≥0.9 mm. A diagnosis of atheroma plaque was retained when the cIMT was ≥1.5 mm. The association between subclinical atherosclerosis and potential risk factors was modeled using logistic regression analysis. RESULTS: We recruited 75 patients. The average age was 51.8 ± 14.6 years, with a sex ratio F/M of 4. The prevalence of subclinical atherosclerosis was 32%. In logistic regression being a woman of ≥55 years old (aOR 10.6, 95% CI [2.087-53.82], p = 0.028), DAS28-ESR > 2.6 (aOR 3.5,95% CI [1.55-10.38], p = 0.044), severe RA (aOR 32.6,95% CI [1.761-60.37],p = 0.035), high blood pressure (aOR 22.4,95% CI [5.04-99.41], p = 0.005) and obesity (aOR 32.3, 95% CI [2.606-40.73], p = 0.026) emerged as factors associated with subclinical atherosclerosis. CONCLUSION: Subclinical atherosclerosis is common in RA patients attending the UHK. It appears to be associated with RA disease activity and severity apart from traditional cardiovascular risk factors. These results suggest that early management of subclinical atherosclerosis targeting remaining RA disease activity and cardiovascular risk factors could slow down progression to clinical cardiovascular disease.

RESUMO

Contexte et objectif. Les données sur l'atteinte articulaire dans l'infection à VIH en Afrique subsaharienne l'épicentre sont fragmentaires. La présente étude a décrit les aspects épidémiologiques des manifestations rhumatismales, au cours de l'infection à VIH/SIDA ; en milieu hospitalier de Kinshasa. Méthodes. Etude transversale descriptive et analytique incluant les personnes vivant avec VIH menée du 1 er juin au 30 septembre 2015 dans deux formations médicales de l'Armée du Salut. Les paramètres d'intérêt étaient : démographiques, cliniques (symptômes musculosquelettiques), radiographiques et biologiques. Le diagnostic des pathologies rhumatismales a été posé sur base des critères classiques ou le cas échéant, l'opinion du rhumatologue pour les maladies sans critères diagnostiques consensuels. Résultats. Trois cent vingt et un PVV ont été examinés, dont 254 femmes (79,1%). L'âge moyen des patients était de 45,1 ± 9,6 ans. La durée médiane de l'infection à VIH et du traitement antirétroviral étaient respectivement de 38 mois [extrêmes 3 et 155 mois) et 34 mois (extrêmes 2 et 137 mois). La fréquence des manifestations rhumatismales était 27,7%. Les pathologies rhumatismales rencontrées comprenaient: l'arthrose (49,4%), les spondylarthrites (33,7%), les pathologies abarticulaires (25,8%), la polyarthrite rhumatoïde (1,1%) et les autres rhumatismes (16,9%). Les caractéristiques de l'infection à VIH (stade de l'OMS, taux des LT CD4, durée de la maladie, durée du traitement) étaient similaires entre les rhumatisants et les non rhumatisants. Une maladie ou un traitement d'une durée de 12 à 60 mois était indépendamment associé aux maladies abarticulaires. Le risque d'atteinte abarticulaire était également majoré par 4 pour un taux bas de LTCD4. Enfin, seul l'âge > 40 ans était associé risque d'arthrose. Conclusions. Près d'un tiers des PVV présentent des manifestations rhumatismales variées, en particulier ; les spondylarthrites, l'arthrose et les pathologies abarticulaires

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: To determine the spectrum of spondyloarthritis (SpA) in outpatients with symptoms of rheumatism attending two rheumatology practices in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. DESIGN: A descriptive prospective multicentre outpatient study. SETTING: The present study analysed 6 months data (from 1 December 2012 till 31 May 2013). PARTICIPANTS: Nine hundred and eighty-four consecutive outpatients were studied. PRIMARY AND SECONDARY OUTCOME MEASURES: A clinical diagnosis of SpA was made and several classification criteria were applied afterwards. Radiographic lesions in the sacroiliac joint were scored with the modified New York criteria. BASDAI and BASFI were evaluated in axial SpA (axSpA). The primary end point was the prevalence of SpA and the secondary end points were the spectrum of SpA and its subtypes. RESULTS: One hundred and five patients (10.7%) were diagnosed among 984 consecutive outpatients with a sex ratio (male to female) of 1.4. The average age at disease onset was 41.3±12.4 years. Non-radiographical axSpA was the most frequent subtype (5.0%) followed by reactive arthritis (4.3%). Other subtypes were: ankylosing spondylitis (1.0%), psoriatic arthritis (0.1%), synovitis, acne, pustulosis, hyperostosis, osteitis syndrome (0.1%) and inflammatory bowel disease-associated arthritis (0.1%). Mean BASDAI and BASFI in axSpA were 42.7/100 and 46.4/100, respectively. Peripheral enthesitis was found in 43% of patients with SpA and uveitis (10.4%) was the most frequent extra-articular manifestation. We did not detect any family history. Median erythrocyte sedimentation rate and C reactive protein were 37 (range: 7-110) mm/hour and 22 (range: 4-48) mg/L, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: This hospital-based study suggests there is substantial occurrence of some subtypes of SpA in central Africa. A population-based study is needed to evaluate these subtypes.
