“…This finding was higher than the studies done in northwest Ethiopia (45.2%), Addis Ababa, Ethiopia (27.1%), Mexico (36.6%), Sudan (45.5%), the systematic review (32.71%), Hawassa, Ethiopia (34.2%), and Nigeria (31–37%) [ 17 , 24 – 29 ], respectively. However, it was lower compared to the studies from Burkina Faso (67.3%) and Nigeria (37%) [ 30 , 31 ]. The possible reasons for the difference might be due to differences in the study period, study area, and socio-cultural practice.…”

Background Common mental disorders are severe and frequent co-morbid psychiatric illnesses with epilepsy. Different study findings across the world showed that patients with epilepsy have a higher burden of mental disorders than the general population. However, these issues in patients with epilepsy have been consistently undiagnosed. Objectives The study aimed to screen common mental disorders and the determinants among patients with epilepsy attending at Fenote Selam hospital. Methods An institutional-based cross-sectional study was conducted among patients with Epilepsy from March 10 to May 15, 2019. Patients were assessed for the risk of common mental disorders using a pretested, structured, self-reporting questionnaire (SRQ-20). The collected data were entered into Epi-data version 3.1 software and analyzed using R version 4.0 software. Descriptive statistics were computed using frequency, percent, mean, and standard deviations. A simple logistic regression model was fit to identify the association and strength of exploratory variables and common mental disorders at a 95% confidence interval and p-value < 0.05. Results The study included 202 patients diagnosed with epilepsy and yielded a response of 91.4%. About 53% of the patients were males. The magnitude of common mental disorders among patients with epilepsy was 57.9% (95% CI: 44.56, 71.24). Being more than one substance user (AOR = 5.7; 95%CI: 1.6, 20.7) and Not having social support (AOR = 4.3; 95%CI: 1.5, 11.9) were the identified determinants of common mental disorders. Conclusion The magnitude of common mental disorders among patients with epilepsy were high. Not having social support and khat chewing were the identified risk factors significantly associated with common mental disorders. Early screening and treatments are the key interventions to prevent complications and deaths from common mental disorders.

This might be due to inflammation, oxidative stress, activation of the immune system, thickening of the blood vessels which results reduce blood flow to the nerve, conduction slowing, and axonal atrophy [45].…”

Background Diabetic neuropathy is the primary cause of foot ulcers and amputations in both industrialized and poor countries. In spite of this, most epidemiological research on diabetic neuropathy in Ethiopia have only made an effort to estimate prevalence, and the information underlying the condition’s beginning is not well-established. Therefore, determining the time to diabetic neuropathy and its variables among adult patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus at the Compressive Specialized Hospitals of the Amhara region was the aim of this study. Methods An institutional-based retrospective follow-up study was undertaken among 669 newly recruited adult patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who were diagnosed between the first of March 2007 and the last day of February 2012. Patients with diabetic neuropathy at the time of the diagnosis for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), patients without a medical chart, patients with an unknown date of DM diagnosis, and patients with an unknown date of diabetic neuropathy diagnosis were excluded from the study. All newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients aged 18 years and older who were enrolled from 1st March 2007 to 28th February 2012 in selected hospitals were included in this study. Cox proportional hazard model was fitted to determine predictors of time to diabetic neuropathy, and the Kaplan Meier survival curve was used to assess the cumulative survival time. Variables with a p-value < 0.05 were considered to be statistically significance at 95% confidence interval. Results The restricted mean survival time of this study was 179.45 (95% CI: 173.77–185.14) months. The overall incidence rate of diabetic neuropathy was 2.14 cases per 100 persons-years. Being aged > 60 years [AHR = 2.93(95% CI: 1.29–6.66)], having diabetic retinopathy [AHR = 2.76(95% CI: 1.84–4.16)], having anemia [AHR = 3.62 (95% CI: 2.46–5.33)], having hypertension [AHR = 3.22(95% CI: 2.10–4.93)], and baseline fasting blood sugar > 200 mg/dl [AHR = 2.56(95% CI: 1.68–3.92)] were the predictors of diabetic neuropathy. Conclusion The risk of occurrence of diabetic neuropathy among type two diabetes mellitus patients was high in the early period. Age > 60 years, diabetic retinopathy, anemia, baseline fasting blood sugar level > 200 mg/dl, and hypertension were the main predictors of incidence of diabetic neuropathy. Therefore, early detection and appropriate interventions are important for patients with old age, diabetic retinopathy, anemia, hypertension, and FBS > 200mg/dl.

“…In the other hand, the only study carried out concerns adult patients with epilepsy. According to this study, there was a high prevalence of depression symptoms among adults patients with epilepsy attending in a tiertary hospital of Ouagadougou (56%) [11] . The objectives of this study was to determine the prevalence of anxiety and depression in children with epilepsy in Burkina Faso.…”

Background Children with epilepsies (CWE) show an increased prevalence of comorbid depressive and anxiety disorders.Patients and Methods We conducted a cross-sectional study on children with epilepsy aged 7 to 19 years attending neurology consultations at YOUTH during the period from May 06 to August 6, 2019. STAIc Anxiety Scale and Child Depression Inventory were performed in all the patients. Results: The mean age of children with epilepsy was 10.86 ± 3.30 years with male predominance. The mean STAIc score was 34.71 ± 6.58. Anxiety was observed in 42.2% of cases with male predominance. Anxiety was mild to moderate in 42.2% of cases. The risk factors for anxiety were the educational status (p-0.01) and epilepsy duration (p-0.02). The mean CDI score was 11.66 ± 5.76. Depression symptoms were observed in 26.7% of patients. Mild depression was present in all of cases. The risk factors for depression were the level of education (p = 0.01) and the duration of epilepsy (p = 0.008).Conclusion:Anxiety and depression were common in children with epilepsy in Burkina Faso. The risk factors for anxiety and depression were educational status and epilepsy duration.
