Abstract

Introduction: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a leading cause of death worldwide and has shown increase in its prevalence since the 19th century. The increase in prevalence was attributable to epidemiologic transition with westernization and changing life style patterns with resultant increase in the risk factors for cardiovascular diseases. This study was carried out to determine the pattern of cardiovascular disease admissions in Murtala Muhammad Specialist hospital, (MMSH) Kano, North – west Nigeria.Methods: Methods: The study was retrospective covering the period from January 2013 to December 2015. Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 19 software was used to analyze data.Results: Out of 4834 patients (males, 2526 and females, 2308) admitted in to the medical wards, 2,119 were recruited in to the study. Stroke (54.6%), congestive cardiac failure (CCF)(26.6%) and hypertension(15.7%) were the most prevalent admitted CVDs.Conclusion: Cardiovascular diseases contributed significantly to medical admissions with the elderly accounting for significant proportion. There is the need for planning to accommodate health problems with emphasis to primary preventive measures for cardiovascular diseases.Key words: Cardiovascular disease, Admissions, North – western Nigeria.

Abstract

Background: Epidemiological and clinical characteristics data of patients with bleeding symptoms are unknown.Methods: a total of 6961 medical records of patients admitted in the hematology department in a teaching hospital from 2000 to 2016 were reviewed. We enrolled in the study all patients’ medical records that were reporting bleeding complications and analyzed retrospectively their epidemiological data, severity, clinical and biological characteristics.Results: A total of 35 people (20 men and 15 women), with a median age of 29 (range 3 and 76) years had bleeding complications. The overall incidence of bleeding complication in the hematology department was 0.56%. The bleeding was significantly minor (51.23%). Among this group, petechiae was the most common hemorrhage symptoms: 31.71%.The bleeding was major in 48.77%. In this group, the principal cause of the bleeding events was acute leukemia (n=13; 37.41%); that was the main likely cause of intracranial hemorrhage which accounted for 29.27%. Hemophilia was the second cause of bleeding episode (n=5; 14.29%) followed by bone marrow failure (n=4; 11.43%). The median platelet count was 39.92 (range 10 and 253) G/L.Conclusion: Bleeding event is rare and mostly associated with acute leukemia. The high proportion of intracranial hemorrhage in this group of pathology requests further studies on the outcome and predictive factors of it.Key words: bleeding complications, epidemiology, clinical characteristics, Congo
