RESUMELa non-conformité des bulletins d'analyses biologiques (BAB) rend difficile la réalisation et l'interprétation des résultats des examens biologiques. Elle compromet de ce fait l'utilisation optimale et rationnelle de l'outil d'aide au diagnostic que constituent les laboratoires. L'objectif de cette étude était d'évaluer la conformité des bulletins d'analyses biologiques prescrits et leur impact économique au Centre Hospitalier Yalgado Ouédraogo (CHU-YO), Burkina Faso. Il s'est agi d'une étude transversale descriptive réalisée de décembre 2016 à février 2017 dans le département de laboratoire du CHU-YO. Les informations portées sur chaque BAB et les coûts des examens prescrits sur ces bulletins ont été étudiés. Au total, 1683 BAB provenant de 10 services cliniques, ont été inclus dans l'étude. Sur les 1683 BAB, 71 (4,2%) étaient conformes aux règles de bonne prescription médicale. Le coût moyen des examens prescrits sur des BAB non conformes (9,2 $US) était significativement plus élevé par rapport à ceux prescrits sur des BAB conformes (7,12 $US) (p < 0,05). La qualité rédactionnelle des BAB est faible au Burkina Faso. Les BAB non conformes ont un impact réel sur le revenu du ménage et par conséquent sur l'économie du pays. ABSTRACTThe non-conformity of the laboratory requesting forms (LRF) makes it difficult to produce and interpret the results of the biological test; it compromises the optimal and rational use of the laboratory diagnostic tool. The aim of this study was to evaluate the conformity of the laboratory requisition forms prescribed and their economic impact at Yalgado Ouédraogo teaching hospital (CHU-YO), Burkina Faso. Cross-sectional and descriptive study was conducted between December 2016 and February 2017 in the department of laboratory, CHU-YO. The information provided of each request form and the cost of investigation required on each one were recorded and analyzed. A total of 1683 LRF from 10 clinicals services A. YACOUBA et al. / Int. J. Biol. Chem. Sci. 13(6): 2683-2690, 2019 2684 were included. Of the 1683 LFR, 71 (4.2%) complied with the rules of good medical prescription. There is a significant difference between the average cost of tests prescribed on non-compliant LRF (9.2 $US) and those prescribed on compliant LRF (7.12 $US) (p < 0.05). The drafting quality of LRF is low in Burkina Faso. The occurrence of errors in the writing of the LRF has a real impact on the household income and consequently on the country's economy.
