摘要

急性风湿热(ARF)是a群链球菌(GAS)咽炎的一种延迟性自身免疫性并发症,在沙特阿拉伯等地区仍然是一个重大的公共卫生问题。根据Centor标准及时使用抗生素进行治疗可预防ARF,但发展中国家的医生对这些推荐指南的遵守程度仍不一致。本研究旨在评估沙特阿拉伯吉达的医生在管理链球菌性咽炎作为预防ARF策略方面对Centor标准的了解和遵守情况。一项横断面研究在不同专业的105名医生中进行。使用一份结构化的问卷来评估他们的依从性和意识。数据分析采用SPSS 23.0版本,采用卡方检验评估显著性(P < 0.05)。只有40%的医生报告坚持使用Centor标准。女性和非沙特医生表现出更高的依从率。遵医嘱最多的是咨询医生(42.8%),而耳鼻喉科和家庭医学部门对卫生部指南的依从性更好。此外,经验超过15年的医生比经验不足的同行表现出更强的依从性。在遵守Centor标准方面发现了重大差距,这些标准受到专业角色和人口因素的影响。促进遵守国家指导方针和使培训标准化对于改善沙特阿拉伯的ARF预防至关重要。

Physicians' knowledge and adherence to Centor Criteria for preventing acute rheumatic fever in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

Acute rheumatic fever (ARF) is a delayed autoimmune complication of Group A Streptococcal (GAS) pharyngitis and remains a significant public health concern in regions such as Saudi Arabia. Timely treatment with antibiotics guided by the Centor criteria can prevent ARF, yet adherence to these recommended guidelines remains inconsistent among physicians in developing countries. This study aimed to assess the knowledge and adherence of physicians in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, to the Centor criteria in managing streptococcal pharyngitis as a strategy to prevent ARF. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 105 physicians across various specialties. A structured questionnaire was used to evaluate their adherence and awareness. Data was analyzed using SPSS version 23.0, with chi-square tests to assess the significance (P < 0.05). Only 40% of physicians reported consistent use of the Centor criteria. Female and non-Saudi physicians demonstrated higher rates of adherence. The most compliant were consultants (42.8%), while ENT and family medicine departments demonstrated better adherence to Ministry of Health guidelines. Additionally, physicians with over 15 years of experience demonstrated significantly greater adherence than their less experienced counterparts. Significant gaps were identified in the adherence to the Centor criteria, which were influenced by professional roles and demographic factors. Promoting adherence to national guidelines and standardizing training is crucial for improving ARF prevention in Saudi Arabia.
