Setting reference values for whole blood count parameters using indirect methods in BURKINA FASO: A preliminary study
Koumpingnin Nebie, Salam Sawadogo, Myriam Nikiema, Fabienne Sanou, Catherine Traore, Charles Sawadogo, Eleonore Kafando
Introduction:
The whole blood count is one of the most frequent biological tests in medical practice. As with any other biological parameter, its interpretation is based on comparison with predefined reference values (RV) adapted to the patient's native population. However, most of low-income countries uses reference values from western coun(...)

Sharp drop in under-five mortality and associated factors in Burkina Faso from 2010 to 2021: is it a composition or performance effect?
Hervé Bassinga; Sibiri Clément Ouedraogo; Aristide Romaric Bado; Herman Bazié; Kadidia Kouadima Diallo
Background: Long maintained above 100 ‰ since the 1960s, under-five mortality rates in Burkina Faso have experienced a significant decline, although the specific sources of change remain difficult to identify. Notably, under-five mortality increased from 187 ‰ in 1993 to 219 ‰ in 1998. Subsequently, a steady decrease was observed, with rates f(...)

Improvement of the Sanitation of Public Places in Rural Areas in Burkina Faso: The Case of the Rural Commune of Béré in the Province of Zoundweogo
Ouindpouiré Auguste Aristide Soré, Oswald Augias Eros Kambiret, Yamine Binta Traoré, Clément Haro, Samuel Ouoba, Lionnel Sanou, Jean Bosco Bazié, Antoine Béré
This study assesses sanitation in public places in the rural commune of Béré, Burkina Faso, and proposes improvements. The diagnosis reveals a glaring lack of infrastructure: the majority of markets (88%), mosques (61%), churches (53%), and many schools (22%) lack latrines, and those that exist are often in poor condition, dirty, and poorly ma(...)

The assessment of the nutritional status of the hospitalized person is often considered secondary to the pathologies justifying hospitalization. A multicenter study conducted in six Belgian hospitals showed a risk of malnutrition in just over one in five patients. This malnutrition during hospitalization is more frequent in the elderly and tho(...)
