abstract = {OBJECTIVE To explore the relationships between dental problems and underweight status among rural women in Burkina Faso by using nationally representative data. DESIGN This was a cross-sectional secondary study of primary data obtained by the 2013 WHO Stepwise Approach to Surveillance survey conducted in Burkina Faso. Descriptive and analytical analyses were performed using Student's t test, ANOVA, the χ2 test, Fisher's exact test and logistic regression. SETTING All thirteen Burkinab\`{e} regions were categorised using quartiles of urbanisation rates. PARTICIPANTS The participants were 1730 rural women aged 25-64 years. RESULTS The prevalence of underweight was 16·0 %, and 24·1 % of participants experienced dental problems during the 12-month period. The women with dental problems were more frequently underweight (19·9 % and 14·7 %; P \< 0·05) and had a lower mean BMI (21·1 ± 3·2 and 21·6 ± 3·7 kg/m2, P \< 0·01) than those without dental problems. More risk factors for underweight were observed in less urbanised regions among elderly individuals (\> 49 years old) and smokeless tobacco users. Age \> 49 years, professions with inconsistent income, a lack of education, smokeless tobacco use and low BMI were factors that were significantly associated with dental problems, while residency in a low-urbanisation area was a protective factor. CONCLUSION The prevalence of underweight in rural Burkinab\`{e} women is among the highest in sub-Saharan Africa, and women with dental problems are more frequently affected than those without dental problems. Public health measures for the prevention of these disorders should specifically target women aged over 49 years and smokeless tobacco users.},

abstract = {BACKGROUND: Detailed characteristics of Hepatitis C virus (HCV) 

 infection in Burkina Faso are scarce. The main aim of this study 

 was to assess HCV seroprevalence in various settings and 

 populations at risk in Burkina Faso between 1990 and 2020. 

 Secondary objectives included the prevalence of HCV Ribonucleic 

 acid (RNA) and the distribution of HCV genotypes. METHODS: A 

 systematic database search, supplemented by a manual search, was 

 conducted in PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and African Index 

 Medicus. Studies reporting HCV seroprevalence data in low and 

 high-risk populations in Burkina Faso were included, and a 

 random-effects meta-analysis was applied. Risk of bias was 

 assessed using the Joanna Briggs institute checklist. RESULTS: 

 Low-risk populations were examined in 31 studies involving a 

 total of 168,151 subjects, of whom 8330 were positive for HCV 

 antibodies. Six studies included a total of 1484 high-risk 

 persons, and 96 had antibodies to HCV. The pooled seroprevalence 

 in low-risk populations was 3.72% (95% CI: 3.20-4.28) and 

 4.75% (95% CI: 1.79-8.94) in high-risk groups. A 

 non-significant decreasing trend was observed over the study 

 period. Seven studies tested HCV RNA in a total of 4759 

 individuals at low risk for HCV infection, and 81 were positive. 

 The meta-analysis of HCV RNA yielded a pooled prevalence of 

 1.65% (95% CI: 0.74-2.89%) in low-risk populations, which is 

 assumed to be indicative of HCV prevalence in the general 

 population of Burkina Faso and suggests that about 301,174 

 people are active HCV carriers in the country. Genotypes 2 and 1 

 were the most frequent, with 60.3% and 25.0%, respectively. 

 CONCLUSIONS: HCV seroprevalence is intermediate in Burkina Faso 

 and indicates the need to implement effective control 

 strategies. There is a paucity of data at the national level and 

 for rural and high-risk populations. General population 

 screening and linkage to care are recommended, with special 

 attention to rural and high-risk populations.},

abstract = {BACKGROUND: Malaria in endemic countries is often asymptomatic 

 during pregnancy, but it has substantial consequences for both 

 the mother and her unborn baby. During pregnancy, anaemia is an 

 important consequence of malaria infection. In Burkina Faso, the 

 intensity of malaria varies according to the season, albeit the 

 prevalence of malaria and anaemia as well as their risk factors, 

 during high and low malaria transmission seasons is 

 underexplored at the household level. METHODS: Data of 1751 

 pregnant women from October 2013 to March 2014 and 1931 pregnant 

 women from April 2017 to June 2017 were drawn from two 

 cross-sectional household surveys conducted in 24 health 

 districts of Burkina Faso. Pregnant women were tested for 

 malaria in their household after consenting. Asymptomatic 

 carriage was defined as a positive result from malaria rapid 

 diagnostic tests in the absence of clinical symptoms of malaria. 

 Anaemia was defined as haemoglobin level less than 11 g/dL in 

 the first and third trimester and less than 10.5 g/dL in the 

 second trimester of pregnancy. RESULTS: Prevalence of 

 asymptomatic malaria in pregnancy was estimated at 23.9% (95% 

 CI 20.2-28.0) during the high transmission season 

 (October-November) in 2013. During the low transmission season, 

 it was 12.7% (95% CI 10.9-14.7) between December and March in 

 2013-2014 and halved (6.4%; 95% CI 5.3-7.6) between April and 

 June 2017. Anaemia prevalence was estimated at 59.4% (95% CI 

 54.8-63.8) during the high transmission season in 2013. During 

 the low transmission season, it was 50.6% (95% CI 47.7-53.4) 

 between December and March 2013-2014 and 65.0% (95% CI 

 62.8-67.2) between April and June, 2017. CONCLUSION: This study 

 revealed that the prevalence of malaria asymptomatic carriage 

 and anaemia among pregnant women at the community level remain 

 high throughout the year. Thus, more efforts are needed to 

 increase prevention measures such as IPTp-SP coverage in order 

 to reduce anaemia and contribute to preventing low birth weight 

 and poor pregnancy outcomes.},

abstract = {INTRODUCTION: acute diarrhea in children under five years is a public health problem in developing countries and particularly in malaria-endemic areas where both  diseases co-exist. The present study examined the etiology of childhood diarrhea and  its comorbidity with malaria in a rural area of Burkina Faso. 

METHODS: conventional  culture techniques, direct stools examination, and viruses´ detection by rapid tests  were performed on the fresh stools and microscopy was used to diagnose malaria. Some  risk factors were also assessed. RESULTS: on a total of 191 samples collected, at  least one pathogen was identified in 89 cases (46.6%). The proportions of pathogens  found on the 89 positive stool samples were parasites 51.69% (46 cases), viruses  39.33% (35 cases), and bacteria 14.61% (13 cases), respectively. The relationship  between malaria and infectious diarrhea was significant in viral and parasites  causes (p=0.005 and 0.043 respectively). Fever, vomiting and abdominal pain were the  major symptoms associated with diarrhea, with 71.51%, 31.72% and 23.66%  respectively. The highest viral diarrhea prevalence was reported during the dry  season (OR=5.29, 95% CI: 1.74 - 16.07, p=0.001) while parasite diarrhea was more  encountered during the rainy season (OR=0.41, 95% CI: 0.33 - 0.87, p=0.011).  CONCLUSION: Giardia spp and rotavirus were the leading cause of acute diarrhea in  Nanoro, Burkina Faso with a predominance of rotavirus in children less than 2 years.  Parasite and viral diarrhea were the most pathogens associated with malaria.  However, the high rate of negative stool samples suggests the need to determine  other enteric microorganisms.},
