Knowledge, attitudes and reported practices of general practitioners related to adult female patients with urinary incontinence in greater JohannesburgPadayachey, Moganambal 28 January 2010 (has links)
BACKGROUND
There is an extraordinary common medical condition that affects millions of people,
mostly women. It is associated with high levels of disability, discomfort and loss of
productivity. People seldom talk about it and suffer in silence and have a fear of
being ridiculed or embarrassed. It is not breast cancer, nor osteoporosis, nor heart
disease nor is it depression. It is urinary incontinence – the loss of bladder control,
which affects the lives of millions of people globally. General Practitioners (GP‟s) do
not have a good knowledge about the topic and are therefore not managing Urinary
Incontinence (UI) appropriately.
AIM
To assess the knowledge, attitudes and reported practices of general practitioners
related to adult female patients with urinary incontinence in Greater Johannesburg.
OBJECTIVES
To determine the demographics of the respondents belonging to the various
Independent Practitioner Associations (IPA's). Variables include age, sex, year
qualified, postgraduate qualifications, and the number of years in clinical practice.
To determine the demographics of the respondents practice. Variables include,
age distribution, gender distribution, and the number of patients seen with urinary
incontinence per month.
To determine the knowledge of the respondents regarding urinary incontinence in
adult females. Variables include prevalence, aetiology, types of urinary
incontinence, associated risk factors and reversible factors.
v
To determine the attitudes of the respondents regarding urinary incontinence in
adult females. Variables include feelings of empathy, frustration, etc.
To determine the management of the respondents regarding urinary incontinence
in adult females. Variables include access of referral facilities, screening,
examination, investigation, and medication.
METHODS
The study was done amongst the Independent Practitioner Associations in the
greater Johannesburg area. A questionnaire was administered to GP‟s attending IPA
meetings, data was collected with regards to the demographics of the GPs and their
practices as well as the knowledge, attitudes and reported practices of the GPs.
RESULTS
The response rate cannot be calculated as the number of GPs who attended the IPA
meetings is not known. One hundred and thirteen respondents met the inclusion
criteria for the study. The data was collected over a 10-month period during 2006.
Males accounted for 76 (68.5%) and females for 35 (31.5%) of all respondents. Two
(1.8%) respondents had three postgraduate qualifications, 11 (9.7%) respondents
had two postgraduate qualifications and 38 (33.6%) respondents had one
postgraduate qualification.
The prevalence of patients with UI was higher amongst female respondents,
33 (97.1%) as compared to male respondents 67 (88.2%). Feelings of empathy was
experienced by 94 (88.7%) respondents and 81 (81%) respondents would never
avoided the discussion about UI with patients. Most respondents rated their
knowledge on aetiology 82 (78.1%), diagnosis 79 (73.8%), investigation 58
(54.2%) and management 58 (54.7%) as good and very good.

Adequacy of paediatric renal tract ultrasound requests and reportsGovender, Nishentha 07 1900 (has links)
A research report submitted to the Faculty of Health Sciences, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Medicine in the branch of Radiology
Johannesburg, 2011 / Management guidelines for urinary tract infections (UTI) invariably include renal ultrasound (RUS). Adequacy of RUS requests and reports is important for clinical practice.
Aim
To assess the adequacy of paediatric RUS requests and reports, the effects of the former on the latter, the effect of reporter`s rank, determine the yield and correlate adequacy with regard to the frequency of pathology.
Materials and Methods
Retrospective review of RUS reports of children was performed. A “Request Adequacy Score” (total 3) and a “Report Adequacy Score” (total 21) based on the RSNA reporting template was developed. A UTI subgroup was created.
Results
Mean “Report Adequacy Score” was 6.67. Residents performed better than consultants. There was no significant factor correlating with report adequacy. Hydronephrosis was the commonest pathology.
Conclusion
RUS requests and reports are inadequate. To improve reporting a renal ultrasound reporting template was developed.

Experience with point-of-care urine culture in children at Rahima Moosa Mother & Child Hospital, Johannesburg, South AfricaMigambi, Ismail 07 September 2015 (has links)
Research report submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of
Medicine in Paediatrics.
Johannesburg, 2015. / Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are an important cause of morbidity in
children in developing countries and increasing antimicrobial resistance is reported in many
countries. This retrospective study describes the performance of urine dipsticks, the aetiology
and the antimicrobial susceptibility of paediatric UTIs at Rahima Moosa Mother and Child
Hospital, Johannesburg.
METHODS: We conducted a retrospective study of results from patients investigated for
UTI over a four year period between January 2009 and December 2012 in the Department of
Paediatrics & Child Health at Rahima Moosa Mother and Child Hospital.
RESULTS: Escherichia coli was the commonest isolated uropathogen. Dipsticks sensitivity
to identify UTI was 40% for leucocyte esterase and 34% for nitrites. The specificity was
94.6% for leucocyte esterase and 96% for nitrites. Malnutrition was associated with greater
risk of having a UTI, with odds ratio of 2.06 (95% Confidence interval 1.4-2.9). In addition
malnourished children tended to present with more resistant uropathogens. Resistance to
sulphamethoxasole/trimethoprim and cephalexin has been progressively increasing between
2009 and 2012. From 64% to 79% for sulphamethoxasole/trimethoprim and from 24% to
63% for cephalexin.
CONCLUSION: Positive urine dipsticks results allow immediate patient treatment but
negative results need to be interpreted within the clinical context due to a high rate of false
negatives. Malnourished children are significantly predisposed to urinary tract infections and
tend to have more resistant uropathogens. Resistance to cephalexin is rising and studies to
assess patient outcomes are needed to determine whether cephalexin still has a role in the
treatment of paediatric UTI.
