    International audienceBackground: Despite the critical importance of breast milk for preterm and sick neonates, there is no consensus regarding the use of raw mother's own milk (MOM) in neonatal units. Objectives: This study aimed to describe the use of raw MOM in hospitalised neonates before day 7 (early use), and to investigate: (i) related factors, (ii) maternal satisfaction, and (iii) the association with breastfeeding continuation. Methods: This prospective cohort included 516 neonates intended to be breastfed in 2 French neonatal units. Neonates receiving raw MOM before day 7 were compared to those who did not. The association between early use of MOM and breastfeeding continuation at hospital discharge, and up to 6 months later, was measured by logistic regression. Results: More than one-third (36.2%) of breastfed neonates did not receive any MOM during their first week, mainly due to organisational constraints and staff reluctance. Maternal satisfaction related to early raw MOM use was high (96%), and was coupled with a more frequent maternal feeling of being supported in breastfeeding (p = 0.003). There was a significant association between early use of MOM and breastfeeding continuation at discharge (OR 2.92, 95% CI 1.94-4.40, p p = 0.023). This association appeared independent in multivariable analyses (at discharge: aOR 2.03, 95% CI 1.27-3.25, p = 0.003; 6 months later: aOR 2.46, 95% CI 1.02-5.92, p = 0.045). Conclusion: While the early use of raw MOM in hospitalised neonates can be limited by multiple factors, it appears supportive for mothers, and might represent a simple opportunity to improve breastfeeding in neonatal units

    Objectif : Cette Ă©tude avait pour but d’étudier les aspects Ă©pidĂ©miologiques cliniques et thĂ©rapeutiques des avortements clandestins dans le service de gynĂ©cologie interne du Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Libreville de 2014 en 2018. Patients et mĂ©thodes : Il s’est agi d’une Ă©tude rĂ©trospective, descriptive qui s’est dĂ©roulĂ©e du 1er janvier au 31 dĂ©cembre 2018. Elle a portĂ© sur toutes les patientes ayant pratiquĂ©es un avortement clandestin avec un âge gestationnel infĂ©rieur ou supĂ©rieur Ă  12 semaines amĂ©norrhĂ©e, mariĂ©es ou cĂ©libataires, admises et/ou prise en charge dans le service de gynĂ©cologique interne du CHUL, dans la pĂ©riode de l’étude quelle que soit leur provenance. L’approche de collecte Ă©tait une enquĂŞte par dĂ©pouillement de dossiers mĂ©dicaux assortie Ă  une Ă©tude des registres de compte rendu d’hospitalisation. RĂ©sultats : La frĂ©quence moyenne annuelle des avortements provoquĂ©s Ă©tait de 50±3,1 avortements pour 1000 accouchements. Cette frĂ©quence a Ă©tĂ© multipliĂ©e par 5 en 2014 et 2018. L’âge moyen Ă©tait de 27,3± 6,6 ans avec des extrĂŞmes de 14 et 50ans. La majoritĂ©, soit 62,3% Ă©tait du niveau secondaire, 79,9% Ă©tait cĂ©libataires. L’âge gestationnel Ă©tait connu pour 60,4% et infĂ©rieur Ă  12 semaines d’amĂ©norrhĂ©e dans 46,7% des cas. Deux ethnies Ă©taient majoritairement reprĂ©sentĂ©es : les fangs 32,1% et les punus 25,5%. Le lieu de l’avortement Ă©tait principalement le domicile familial pour 72,6% des patientes. La mĂ©thode abortive utilisĂ©e Ă©tait principalement le comprimĂ© de misoprostol Ă  58,0%. Le motif de l’avortement Ă©tait Ă  52,8% une grossesse non dĂ©sirĂ©e plus ou moins associĂ©e Ă  22,6% Ă  un manque de moyens financiers. Sur le plan clinique, le diagnostic retenu Ă©tait principalement l’avortement compliquĂ© d’une hĂ©morragie (55,6%). La prise en charge comprenait : le  remplissage vasculaire (59,0%), l’AMIU (50,9%), l’antibiothĂ©rapie (88,6%) dominĂ© par le mĂ©tronidazole Ă  53,3%, la transfusion (60,8%), le fer et les acides foliques (35,4%), utĂ©rotonique (34,0%). La complication majeure Ă©tait l’anĂ©mie (71,7%). L’évolution Ă©tait favorable pour 92,5% dont 75% (soit 16/212) sont dĂ©cĂ©dĂ©s en cours d’hospitalisation. Conclusion : L’avortement clandestin demeure un problème de santĂ© publique dans notre pays, de par sa frĂ©quence croissante, et ses omplications Ă  type d’hĂ©morragie pouvant engager le pronostic vital. La technique d’Aspiration Manuelle Intra utĂ©rine (AMIU) a encore montrĂ© son efficacitĂ© dans la prise en charge des complications de cette pratique avant l’âge gestationnel de 12 semaines d’amĂ©norrhĂ©e. Sensibiliser davantage les populations sur les mĂ©thodes contraceptives et Ă©largir sur le plan juridique l’accès Ă  l’avortement mĂ©dicalisĂ© au premier trimestre de grossesse, pourraient amoindrir l’incidence et les complications de ces avortements dans notre region.

Patients and methods: This was a retrospective, descriptive study that took place from January 1 to December 31, 2018. It focused on all patients who had performed a clandestine abortion with a gestational age of less than or greater than 12 weeks of amenorrhea, married or single, admitted and/or managed in the internal gynecological service of the CHUL, in the period of the study regardless of their origin. The collection approach was a medical record survey combined with a study of hospitalization records. Results: The average annual frequency of induced abortions was 50±3.1 abortions per 1000 deliveries. This frequency increased 5-fold in 2014 and 2018. The average age was 27.3± 6.6 years extreme 14 and 50 years. The majority, 62.3% were of secondary school level, 79.9% were single. Gestational age was known for 60.4% and less than 12 weeks of amenorrhea in 46.7% of cases. Two ethnic groups were predominantly represented: the Fangs (32.1%) and the Punus (25.5%). The place of abortion was mainly the family home for 72.6% of patients. The abortion method used was mainly misoprostol tablets (58.0%). The reason for the abortion was an unwanted pregnancy in 52.8% of cases, more or less associated with a lack of financial means in 22.6%. Clinically, the diagnosis was mainly abortion complicated by hemorrhage (55.6%). Management included: vascular filling (59.0%), MVA (50.9%), antibiotic therapy (88.6%) dominated by metronidazole (53.3%), transfusion (60.8%), iron and folic acids (35.4%), uterotonic (34.0%). The major complication was anemia (71.7%). The evolution was favorable for 92.5% of which 75% (16/212) died during hospitalization. Conclusion: Clandestine abortion remains a public health problem in our country, due to its increasing frequency, and its complications such as hemorrhage that can be life threatening. The IMIU technique has again shown its effectiveness in the management of complications of this practice before the gestational age of 12 weeks of amenorrhea. Increased awareness of contraceptive methods and legal access to medical abortion in the first trimester of pregnancy could reduce the incidence and complications of these abortions in our religion.
