Knowledge and practice of Doctors on the biomarker score in determining the risk of heart failure in GOMA

Article scientifique 2023 Anglais

Résumé

Abstract Background : Heart failure (HF) is a common condition, long considered a symptomatic disease. Today the burden linked to HF has pushed researchers to implement means of early detection such as the biomarker score. Methods : This was a transverse and analytical study that included 135 doctors from the public and private sectors. The snowball method was used to identify doctors. Sociodemographic and knowledge characteristics were studied. Results : a total of 135 Doctors were interviewed, The majority of Doctors had poor knowledge (35.6%). After adjustment in multivariate analysis, provision in the West block (aOR 3.62 95% CI: 1.74-5.93), training in a public university (aOR 2.64 95% CI: 1.27-3.96), the specialty in Internal Medicine (aOR 2.73 95% CI: 1.44-3.91) and service in a tertiary hospital (aOR 3.43 95% CI: 1.52-5.91) had emerged as independent determinants of good knowledge on biomarker score in heart failure determination. Conclusion : Doctors' knowledge of this topic is low; following difficulties in the means of sharing knowledge.
