Profil infectieux et mortalité des enfants âgés de 0 à 5 ans admis pour malnutrition aiguë sévère: étude de cohorte rétrospective au Centre Nutritionnel et Thérapeutique de Bukavu, République Démocratique du Congo

Abstract: IntroductionLa malnutrition constitue une toile de fond sur laquelle se greffent plusieurs infections. L'objectif de ce travail est de déterminer les infections les plus létales, la durée médiane de séjour et le gain pondéral médian journalier des enfants malnutris.MéthodesÉtude de cohorte rétrospective des enfants malnutris de 0 à 59 mois hospitalisés au Centre Nutritionnel et Thérapeutique de Bukavu du 1er janvier 2011 au 31 décembre 2013.

“…In the therapeutic nutrition unit at Bouaké University Hospital (Cô te d'Ivoire), the average length of stay was 8.5 days, comparable to our results, with a higher cure rate (78.67%) and a higher drop-out rate (12%) [15]. The differences observed could be explained by the severity of the complications presented by our malnourished patients, resulting in a low mortality rate, and a shorter hospital stay responsible for the low drop-out rate observed [16].…”

“…Our results show a percentage of recovery reached (87.4%) since 230 cases were treated in care, however, in a study carried out by [29] for 574 severely malnourished children hospitalized at the Nutritional and Therapeutic Center of Bukavu, 520 cases were cured with a percentage of 90.8%. The weight gain is significantly and negatively correlated with weight before nutritional-based intervention by R= -0.170**; P<0.001.…”

“…Moreover, a further study conducted by Bah et al [28] aimed to identify the prevalence of severe acute malnutrition and the complication in children selected with a weight/height index below -3 Z score they have succeeded in stabilizing (85%) of cases and transferring to the severe outpatient nutritional education and recovery unit (URENAS). In the same vein, a study carried out by Kambale et al [29] for 574 severely malnourished at the Nutritional and Therapeutic Center of Bukavu, has shown an average of 520 cases were cured with a rate of 90.8% success.…”

“…The third model adjusted the effect of malnutrition, which was observed in 34.6 % and was higher in the dead patient group; such association was already reported in other studies conducted in Africa as a cause of death. 27 Besides the %FO, other outcome measures of risk were oncotic pressure and kidney damage. This is explained as a result of the loss of oncotic and hydrostatic pressure (due to septic shock), which generates the leakage of administered fluids to the interstitial space and results in kidney injury due to prerenal failure mechanism.…”
