Objective: The core objective of this investigation was to analyze Survival Analysis of coronary heart disease of patient during revascularization coronary artery performed. <i>Method</i>: The study was constructed on the data which have 250 patients (subject) with 6 independent variables. The study more explored using survival models such as semi-parametric (Cox PH model) and parametric models (Accelerated Failure Time). Because of some assumptions of cox PH do not well fitted. As we know from theoretical knowledge even if the assumptions are many the parametric models has better acceptance. Basically the data source is already given from Debre Berehan Compressive specialized hospital in registry patient of acute coronary event. <i>Result</i>: According to the results of this study the death of coronary heart patient is affected by factors such as age of patients, revascularization performs, and the day of hospital stays. The hazard ratio for two groups is proportional throughout the days (time) as shown by this paper. The proportion of the death of patient which revascularization performed less than that of did not revascularization of coronary artery performed. And also from AFT model of Weibull the patient of didn’t use revascularization is more accelerate to death then patient use revascularization method.","PeriodicalId":90785,"journal":{"name":"American journal of public health research","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135865488","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}

Method: A cross-sectional study was carried out with managers of national reference laboratories. Result: The NRCs are active in the surveillance of priority communicable diseases. Their activities are national and international in scope. The NRCs are headed by medical doctors or scientific biologists, all of whom are researchers with an experience of 18.4±9.2 years, with 8 (72.7%) men and 3 (27.3%) women. These managers were appointed by a decision of the management. The NRCs estimated the funds allocated to their activities to be (91.7%) insufficient. The NRCs did not have a laboratory information management system (66.7%). Concerning the problem of infrastructure and operational equipment, the result shows that the NRCs are confronted with an interruption of electricity in 16.6% of cases. Half of the NRCs (58.4%) do not have sufficient laboratory space to carry out their work without compromising the quality of work and the safety of staff. 9 (75%) of the NRCs have successfully participated in proficiency testing programmes and 4 (33.3%) have organised proficiency tests. Conclusion: No national reference laboratory is accredited ISO 15189. The results of the assessment can be used to develop a work plan to improve laboratory surveillance and detection of communicable and potentially epidemic diseases in Côte d'Ivoire.","PeriodicalId":90785,"journal":{"name":"American journal of public health research","volume":"112 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135109953","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}
