Contribution de la téléexpertise échocardiographique à la prise en charge des cardiopathies congénitales : expérience du Burkina Faso
Introduction
Medical imaging is a major focus of information and communication technologies (ICTs) as it generates the largest volume of digital data. L’utilisation de la télémédecine est une opportunité qui permettra d’améliorer la prise en charge des patients. The objective of our study was to assess the contribution of echocardiographic tele-expertise in the management of heart diseases in Burkina Faso.
Methods
This was a prospective cohort study conducted from February 16, 2021, to April 6, 2023, in the thoracic and cardiovascular surgery department of the Tengandogo University Hospital. Patients included were those who had undergone echocardiographic tele-expertise and cardiac surgery in Burkina Faso. We compared the concordance between the diagnoses of the requesting cardiologist and the consulting cardiologist on one hand, and between the consulting physician and intraoperative diagnoses on the other hand. Diagnostic concordance rates were used for comparisons.
Results
A total of 384 patients benefited from tele-expertise, and 123 underwent surgery in Burkina Faso. Of these, 111 patients were included in the study. The cohort exhibited a female predominance (59.5%), with a mean age of 9.3 years. Congenital heart diseases accounted for 82.9% of cases, dominated by patent ductus arteriosus (40.2%). Acquired heart diseases represented 17.1%, mainly mitral stenosis (52.6%). The diagnostic concordance rate was 94.5% between the requesting and consulting cardiologists and 100% between the consulting cardiologist and intraoperative findings. The mortality rate was 3.6%.
Conclusion
Echocardiographic tele-expertise is a reliable and safe practice for both patient management and continuous training of cardiologists. Deploying this practice in regional hospital with cardiologists can improve healthcare delivery.
