Overview

Cross-sectional analysis finds completion of rabies prevention is influenced by socio-demographic factors in Ouagadougou, implying a need for better access.

Key Points

  • The study aims to analyze the completion rates of rabies post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) and identify factors affecting completion in Ouagadougou.
  • Cross-sectional analytical study utilizing routine data from the Ouagadougou Anti-Rabies Center from 2021 to 2023
  • Included 8,063 patients who received PEP, defined as full vaccination or medically advised discontinuation
  • Employed multivariable logistic regression to identify factors associated with PEP completion.
  • 60.2% of patients completed PEP, showing a decline from 77% in 2021 to 37% in 2023 due to a vaccine stockout
  • Male sex (aOR=0.89; 95% CI: 0.81–0.98) and ages 15–25 (aOR=0.82; 95% CI: 0.69–0.97) were linked to lower completion rates
  • Urban residence increased completion likelihood (aOR=1.22), but the effect varied significantly by year (interaction p=0.001).
