Acute heart failure (AHF) in sub-Saharan Africa has not been well characterized. Therefore, we sought to describe the characteristics, treatment, and outcomes of patients admitted with AHF Africa.The Sub-Saharan Survey Heart Failure (THESUS-HF) was a prospective, multicenter, observational survey 12 university hospitals 9 countries. Among presenting AHF, determined causes, during 6 months follow-up.From July 1, 2007, June 30, 2010, enrolled 1006 AHF. Mean (SD) age 52.3 (18.3) years, 511...
Contrary to elderly patients with ischaemic-related acute heart failure (AHF) typically enrolled in North American and European registries, the sub-Saharan Africa Survey of Heart Failure (THESUS-HF) were middle-aged AHF due primarily non-ischaemic causes. We sought describe factors prognostic re-admission death this developing population. Prognostic models developed from data collected on 1006 THESUS-HF, a prospective registry 12 hospitals nine African countries, mostly Nigeria, Uganda,...
The role of echocardiography in the risk stratification acute heart failure (HF) is unknown. Some small studies and retrospective analyses have found little change echocardiographic variables during admission for HF some parameters were not to be associated with outcomes. It unknown which will predict outcomes sub-Saharan African patients admitted HF. Using echocardiograms, this study aimed determine predictors death re-admissions within 60 days deaths up 180 failure.
Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) is the commonest cause of valvular and a common failure in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Atrial fibrillation (AF) complicates RHD, precipitates worsens unfavourable outcomes. We set out to describe prevalence, clinical characteristics outcomes atrial cohort African patients with acute (AHF).The Survey Heart Failure (THESUS-HF) was prospective, observational survey AHF nine countries. collected demographic data, medical history signs symptoms HF. Electrocardiograms...
Background: Although the burden of cerebrovascular accident is not known in Africa, including Ethiopia, it s a frequent cause mortality and morbidity hospital practice. Stroke young associated with different spectrum risk factors treatment outcome as compared to stroke older age group. Method: To assess potential stroke; compare types frequencies these among groups, retrospective case study all patients admitted Tikur Anbassa Teaching Hospital over six years period, September 1990 August...
Background: Sleeping Sickness, Human African Trypanosomiasis (HAT) is a vector- borne disease caused by Trypanosoma brucei (T.b). sickness in Ethiopia was reported 1967 for the first time. Recently Southern parts of Ethiopia, August 2022, five (5) cases sleeping (T. b. rhodesiense) were confirmed. Following this outbreak, current investigation aimed to identify entomological and epidemiological drivers reemergence HAT outbreak recommend appropriate interventions.Methods: A cross sectional...
Lymphatic filariasis is ranked as the second leading cause of disability world-wide. The current global programme to eliminate lymphatic based on interruption transmission and alleviation suffering.
Onchocerciasis is the second leading cause of blindness globally next to trachoma, thus eliminating infection an important health priority. It estimated that 15.7 million people are at risk in different parts Ethiopia. Mass drug administration with ivermectin community and school level basis for control elimination onchocerciasis. This study was aimed validating onchocerciasis treatment coverage selected districts Ethiopia.A community-based cross-sectional employed Itang special Wombera...
Hepatitis B infection (HBV) is a serious public health problem worldwide and its co-infection with human immune deficiency virus (HIV) common due to shared routes of transmission. An increased mortality accelerated hepatic disease progression the frequent hepatotoxicity caused by antiretroviral therapy are challenges in clinical management HIV. Epidemiological studies on HBV HBV/HIV co scarce Ethiopia, particularly at study area. The aim this was determine magnitude HBV, risk factors HIV...

Post-operative trichiasis (PTT) is a major challenge following corrective eyelid surgery for trachomatous trichiasis. There scarcity of research on post-operative in Southern Ethiopia, particularly the study area. This aimed to assess prevalence patients who underwent surgery.To Gamo Zone Ethiopia 2021.A descriptive community-based cross-sectional was conducted Dita district, Ethiopia. The data were collected between 2014 and 2020. Three Qualified trachoma (TT) graders working impact survey...
