Abstract Background The Health Information System (HIS) is a set of computerized tools for the collection, storage, management, and transmission of health data. The role of such tools in supporting the modernization of health systems, improving access to quality healthcare, and reducing costs in developing countries is unquestionable, but their implementation faces several challenges. In Gabon, a unique national electronic HIS has been launched. It will connect healthcare institutions and providers at all levels in the whole country. Objective This study aims to explore and identify the factors influencing healthcare providers’ perceptions of the national electronic HIS in Gabon. Methods A 44-item questionnaire based on the Information System Success Model (ISSM) was administered between February and April 2018 among 2,600 healthcare providers across the country. The questions assessed the different aspects of the HIS that could influence its perceived impact on a 5-level Likert scale (from fully agree to totally disagree). The reliability and construct validity of the questionnaire were checked using Cronbach alpha and congeneric reliability coefficients. A logistic regression was used to identify the factors influencing healthcare providers’ perceptions of the system. Results A total of 2,327 questionnaires were completed (i.e. 89.5% response rate). The logistic regression identified five elements that significantly influenced perceived system impact: System Quality (Odds Ratio–OR=1.70), Information Quality (OR=1.69), Actual Use (OR=1.41), Support Quality (OR=1.37), and Useful Functions (OR=1.14). The model explained 30% of the variance in providers’ perception that the national HIS leads to positive impacts. Discussion The results show that healthcare providers’ perceptions regarding the positive impact of the national HIS in Gabon are influenced by their previous use of an HIS, the scope of their usage, and the quality of the system, information, and support provided to users. These results could inform the development of strategies to ensure adequate change of management and user experience for the implementation of the national HIS in Gabon, and eventually in other low resource environments.

Introduction: Tachydysrhythmias (TDS) frequently occur after complete repair of tetralogy of Fallot (TOF). However, not much is known about the effect of TDS on morbidity and mortality after TOF repair. We sought to assess the associations between TDS and mortality and morbidity after repair of TOF using a multicentre database. Materials and Methods: We identified all children aged 0–5 years in the Pediatric Health Information System who underwent TOF repair between 2004 and 2015. Codes for TDS were used to identify cases. Outcome variables were inpatient mortality and total length of stay (LOS). Univariate and multiple logistic and linear regression analyses were used to identify the effects of multiple risk factors, including TDS, on mortality and LOS. Results: A total of 7,749 patients met inclusion criteria, of which 1,493 (19%) had codes for TDS. There was no association between TDS and inpatient mortality. However, TDS were associated with 1.1 days longer LOS and accounted for 2% of the variation observed in LOS. Conclusion: After complete repair of TOF, TDS were not associated with mortality and appeared to have only a modest effect on LOS.

Objective To determine the incidence of auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder (ANSD) and its risk factors among the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) population from 2009 to 2018 in the Pediatric Health Information System database. Study Design Retrospective national database review. Setting Population-based study. Methods The Pediatric Health Information System database was queried to identify patients ≤18 years old with NICU admission and ANSD diagnosis. Patient demographics, jaundice diagnosis, use of mechanical ventilation, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, furosemide, and/or aminoglycosides were extracted. Multivariable linear regression was used to assess trends in incidence. Chi-square analysis was used to assess differences between patients with and without ANSD. Logistic regression was used to assess factors associated with ANSD. Results From 2009 to 2018, there was an increase in (1) NICU admissions from 14,079 to 24,851 ( P < .001), (2) total ANSD diagnoses from 92 to 1847 ( P = .001), and (3) annual total number of patients with ANSD and NICU admission increased from 4 to 16 ( P = .005). There was strong correlation between the increases in total number of NICU admissions and total ANSD diagnoses over time ( R = 0.76). The average ANSD incidence was 0.052% with no statistically significant change over 10 years. When compared with all NICU admissions, children with ANSD had a higher association with use of furosemide ( P < .001) and ventilator ( P < .001). Conclusion Despite a statistically significant increase in NICU admissions and total ANSD diagnosis, the incidence of ANSD in the NICU population has not increased from 2009 to 2018. Furosemide and mechanical ventilator use were associated with increased likelihood of ANSD.
