- W2594394422 abstract "Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) remains the leading acquired heart disease in the young worldwide. The advent of echocardiography as a screening tool has raised new questions in the field. This thesis incorporated three studies to explore critical questions regarding the burden of asymptomatic and symptomatic RHD in New Caledonia (2011-2013): Retrospective population-based cohort study assessing the first nationwide echo-screening campaign targeting all children in 4th grade (2008-2011). Methods derived from research may not be applicable as a healthcare policy given the lack of completeness (~25%). Outcomes of children with asymptomatic RHD detected by echocardiography are benign although the majority of valve lesions persist with little clinical implications. RHD being a dynamic condition, 13% of children at high risk of RHD with normal baseline echocardiograms may present with mild echocardiographic lesions at 2 years follow-up. Prospective population-based study assessing sensitivity and specificity to detect asymptomatic RHD of a focused cardiac ultrasound (FCU) compared to echocardiography. FCU includes nurses after a short training scheme using pocket-echocardiographic machines and simplified criteria. Sensitivity and specificity for RHD detection was of ~80% and performed better (sensitivity ~90%) when restricted to definite RHD in which case treatment is recommended. Retrospective hospital-based cohort of patients admitted with symptomatic RHD. RHD remains prevalent and incident. Diagnosis if often made at an advanced stage (~25%). In patients with uncomplicated RHD, the survival rate was ~96% at 8 years with however an annual incidence of 59.05‰ (95% CI 44.35-73.75) major cardiovascular events. The severity of RHD at diagnosis (moderate vs. mild HR 3.39 (0.95 – 12.12); severe vs. mild RHD HR 10.81 (3.11 – 37.62), p<0.001), and ongoing secondary prophylaxis at follow-up (HR 0.27 (0.12-0.63), p=0.01) were the two most influential factors associated with major cardiovascular events." @default.
