Over the past few years, incidence and prevalence of stroke has been rising in most African countries reported as one leading causes morbidity mortality. To study this problem, we need to realize quality availability care services a priori improve them.In study, investigated different stroke-related 17 from regions. An online survey was conducted fulfilled by specialists included primary prevention, acute management, diagnostic tools, medications, postdischarge services, registries. The...
In Ethiopia where the burden of epilepsy is highest among school age children and teenagers, people with (PWE) their relatives suffers from high level perceived stigma, there had not been any study that assessed knowledge, attitude practice teachers towards PWE. This aims to assess understand social demographic determinants PLW in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.Multistage cluster sampling procedure was used identify twenty schools three sub cities Ethiopia. Standardized self administered...
Abstract The burden of neurological disease disproportionately affects low- and middle-income countries, where the lowest number neurologists are located. Building local training opportunities in resource-limited settings is a foundational step to enhancing workforce improving access care these regions. In this article, we describe development growth first neurology residency program East Africa, which was established 2006 at Zewditu Memorial Hospital Tikur Anbessa Specialized Hospital,...
Major disparities have been reported in recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rtPA) availability among countries of different socioeconomic status.To characterize variability rtPA price, its availability, and association with impact on each country's health expenditure (HE) resources.We conducted a global survey to obtain information price (50 mg vial, 2020 US Dollars) availability. Country-specific data, including low, lower middle (LMIC), upper (UMIC), high-income country (HIC)...
Objective Epilepsy management especially in developing country is challenging. Seizures recurrence can be caused by both drug and non-drug related problems such as inadequate antiepileptic regimens, adverse reaction poor adherence. Patient treatment satisfaction also affects the out comes improving medication This study aimed to assess therapy (DTPs) among ambulatory epileptic patients at Tikur Anbessa Specialized Hospital. Methods A prospective cross-sectional was conducted on 291 patients....
Anti-epileptic drugs (AEDs) are the primary therapeutic modalities for epilepsy management. However, one-third of epileptic patients continue to experience seizure even with appropriate AED use. Patients at increased risk seizure-related injury and they have higher incidences home, street work accidents. There is a paucity data on use pattern treatment outcomes among in tertiary hospitals Ethiopia. Therefore, aim this study was assess pattern, outcome, prevalence Tikur Anbessa specialized...
Background: The SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) pandemic has impacted many facets of critical care delivery. Methods: An electronic survey was distributed to explore the pandemic’s perceived impact on neurocritical delivery between June 2020 and March 2021. Variables were stratified by World Bank country income level, presence a dedicated unit (NCCU) experiencing COVID-19 patient surge. Results: Respondents from 253 hospitals (78.3% response rate) 47 countries (45.5% low/middle countries; 54.5% with...
ecent data reveal a significant increase in strokeassociated morbidity globally, driven by low-and middle-income countries (LMICs). 1,2Therefore, substantial concerted efforts these are needed to address the World Health Organization's sustainable goals for reducing burden of non-communicable disorders.Despite recent advancements, there is lag stroke awareness, access care, and infrastructure LMICs compared with high-income countries. 1Shortages resources, expertise, well-trained personnel,...
Little is known about the characteristics of electroencephalogram (EEG) findings in epileptic patients Ethiopia. The objective this study was to characterize EEG patterns, indications, antiepileptic drugs (AEDs), and epilepsy risk factors.A retrospective observational review test records 433 referred our electrophysiology unit between July 01, 2020 December 31, 2021.The age distribution participants right skewed unipolar for both sexes mean 33.8 (SD=15.7) years. Male accounted 51.7%....
Describe the impact of a new stroke nurse training program at University Teaching Hospital in Lusaka, Zambia.
To define the epidemiology of critical illness and characterize drivers clinical deterioration among neurology inpatients in a resource-limited hospital Zambia.
Neurocritical illnesses occur disproportionately in countries with limited health care capacity. Identifying risk factors of reversible neurodeterioration may improve resource-limited settings. We investigated whether early (END) predicted inpatient mortality at a Zambian hospital. conducted prospective observational cohort study from January to August 2023 neurology inpatients Zambia's national referral All older than 18 years were eligible for inclusion and monitored admission discharge...
Describe an evidence-based approach to locally contextualized guideline adaptation for stroke unit development in Zambia.
Abstract Disorders of consciousness are neurological conditions characterized by impaired arousal and awareness self environment. Behavioural responses absent or present but fluctuate. commonly encountered as a consequence both acute chronic brain injuries, yet reliable epidemiological estimates would require inclusive, operational definitions the concept, well wider knowledge dissemination among involved professionals. Whereas several manifestations have been described, including coma,...
