DOI:

10.7727/wimj.2018.055

Synopsis:

Synopsis: This study evaluated the epidemiology of paediatric cancer and factors associated with mortality among Haitian children and adolescents. Eleven types of cancer were diagnosed and the odds of dying of cancer were more significant in patients with blood cancer, relapse or complications.

ABSTRACT

Background: Paediatric cancers represent about 1% of all diagnosed cancers around the world (1). This study aimed to describe the epidemiology and determine the factors associated with mortality of paediatric cancers managed at a Haitian paediatric hospital.

Surgical-site Infection following Cesarean Section in Haiti: Incidence and Associated Pathogens

DOI:

10.7727/wimj.2015.419

Synopsis:

Efforts should be made to improve the post-discharge surveillance system to detect and treat surgical site infection after a cesarean section in Haiti where methicillin-resistant Staphyloccoccus aureus is prevalent and lost-to-follow-up rate is high.

ABSTRACT

Background: Surgical site infection (SSI) after a Cesarean section (CS) increases maternal morbidity and medical costs. No data regarding the epidemiology of SSI after CS are available in settings operated by Médecins Sans Frontières.

Objectives: To determine incidence and independent risk factors for SSI after CS, as well as pathogens associated with infections.
