{"title":"Adherence to Guideline Directed Medical Therapy in Heart Failure Patients in a Tertiary Hospital in Southern Nigeria: A Real-World Experience","authors":"Dodiyi-Manuel Sotonye, Ajala Aisha Oluwabunmi","doi":"10.11648/j.ejpm.20231102.11","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.11648/j.ejpm.20231102.11","url":null,"abstract":": Background : There is an increase in the incidence of heart failure among the sub-Saharan population. The use of guideline-directed medical therapy has been shown not only to reduce disease progression but also frequent hospitalization, morbidity, and mortality from heart failure. This study was directed at identifying which of the major drug class for treatment of heart failure was incorporated by the physicians in the area. Methodology : The study involved collection of data from patient’s records using an observational checklist. A total of 166 heart failure patients with reduced EF were recruited between the age ranges of 33 and 95 years. The medications prescribed, date of drug initiation and progress in optimization of therapy were assessed over a 1-year period and data analyzed using SPSS version 25. A p-value of 0.05 and below was considered statistically significant. Results : The result showed that the most prevalent causes of heart failure were hypertensive heart disease (70.5%), followed by dilated cardiomyopathy (15.7%) and valvular heart disease (6.6%). The use of diuretics was prevalent among study cohorts at 87.4%, followed by Mineralocorticoid antagonist (MRAs) (78.3%), ARB/ACEI/ARNI (68.1%), beta blockers (40.4%), and less than a third of patients were on SGLT2 inhibitors (28.9%). The dosing of heart failure medications was noticed to be fixed without up-titration of doses at intervals for most classes of GDMT except the MRAs. Only about 2.4% of the study cohorts had dose optimization over this period and most study patients were not on optimal maximal doses of heart failure therapy. Conclusion : The use of guideline directed medical therapy has improved amongst HF patients however up titration of doses remains a major problem amongst patients managed in our clinic. The implementation of a multi-disciplinary HF clinic focused on improvement of outcomes of HF patient is essential in improving not only the use of Guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) but up-titration to optimal doses for maximal benefits.","PeriodicalId":342483,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Preventive Medicine","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134096550","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Objective: To compare and explain the overall effect of different prevention and control mechanisms on the prevention and control of the novel coronavirus outbreak in the early stage and their impact on the economy and society; To disseminate advanced and scientific mechanisms for infectious disease prevention and control to the people and reduce the harm of infectious diseases to mankind. Analysis methods: According to the official data and the available data, a variety of statistical methods were used to analyze the epidemic law of COVID-19 under different prevention and control mechanisms, and to elaborate the prevention and control effects of different prevention and control mechanisms. Results: Through comparison and analysis, China with A type of prevention and control mechanism with a total of 258398 confirmed cases, an incidence rate of 0.18%, and a total of 5226 deaths. The COVID-19 epidemic had little impact on the economy and society, social stability, and rapid economic recovery.

Day by day this disease is changing its own nature and dimension. So, it is very difficult to define the exact risk factors associated with such ferocious diseases. In this situation, haematological and biochemical analysis of COVID-19 patients may play an important role in the current and future planning of COVID treatment. Aim of the study: The aim of this study was to assess the COVID-19 status of Covid patients by haematological and biochemical markers. Materials and Methods: This prospective observational study was conducted among 350 participants who attended the Bashundhara Ad-Din Medical College Hospital, Hasnabad, South Keranigonj, Dhaka, Bangladesh after confirmation by RT-PCR. Using 5 ml fasting venous blood samples different haematological and biochemical biomarkers were analyzed. These were analyzed in auto analysis using a standard protocol as per the manufacturer’s instructions. Finally, results were analyzed using standard statistical calculation by% positivity, confidence interval, p values where p≤0.05 was considered as statistically significant. Results: In this study, in critical participant group, the mean (±SD) HBC, RBC, TLC, PCV, NLR, Platelet Counts, SGOT and SGPT were found 11.56±2.07, 3.64±2.82, 12372±2920, 29.17±7.84, 2.8±0.32, 98743±32127, 67.91±31.54 and 71.39±33.74 respectively. On the other hand, in non-critical patient group those reading were found 12.78±2.17, 4.02±2.90, 10956±2744, 35.03±8.22, 2.7±0.28, 129544±51228, 65.68±27.96 and 67.55±26.57 respectively. In analyzing the haematological and biochemical parameters among participants we found ‘extremely significant correlations’ between critical and non-critical groups in HBC, TLC, PCV, Platelet Counts, S. Creatinine and D-Dimer test results where p values were <0.0001. On the other hand, we found only ‘significant correlation’ between critical and non-critical groups in NLR, CRP, Serum Ferritin and LDH test results where the p values were <0.05. The average age of the total participants was 47.27±14.66 years. In the critical group, it was 54.19±15.23 and in the non-critical group, it was 43.03±13.68 years. So, the mean age of critical patients was higher than that of non-critical patients. Conclusion: Haematological and biochemical markers may be considered as the most potential parameters in assessing the severity of COVID-19 infection. But, advanced training required for laboratory personnel’s who are responsible for collecting, transporting and handling biological samples and carrying out the various laboratory tests for patients with COVID-19 is recommended.","PeriodicalId":342483,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Preventive Medicine","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116094095","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Feedback data show that students had better awareness of condom use (92.60%) and contraception in physiological safety period (61.51%), but had lower awareness of subcutaneous implantation (4.6%), emergency contraception (28.13%) or partial short-acting oral contraceptive (30.59%). Some knowledge of syphilis (89.64%) and gonorrhea (69.41%), but lack of knowledge of condyloma acuminatum (28.61%), non-gonococcal urethritis (17.10%), vaginitis (26.64%) and other venereal diseases. Lack of specific skills to prevent unintended pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases, only 25.33% of students know the correct use of condoms. College students' knowledge of sexual and reproductive health is not optimistic, and there is a certain misunderstanding of knowledge, to prevent unintended pregnancy, prevention of sexually transmitted diseases and other related skills are far from enough.
