摘要: Objective  Training health workers to use Integrated Management of Childhood Illness (IMCI) guidelines can improve care for ill children in outpatient settings developing countries. However, even after IMCI training, important performance gaps exist. One potential reason is that the effect training rapidly wane. Our aim was determine if IMCI-trained deteriorated over 3 years. Methods  We studied two departments Benin. First, we performed a record review 32 during first year implementation (2001–2002). Second, analysed data from cross-sectional facility surveys 2001 2004 represented entire study area. Primary outcomes were proportion under 5 years old with potentially life-threatening illnesses who received either recommended or adequate treatment, and among all children, an index overall guideline adherence. Secondary reflected treatment individual diseases. Outcomes calculated monthly, time trends evaluated regression modelling. Results  The included 9393 consultations, 411 consultations by 105 workers. For both sources, essentially flat nearly outcomes. Absolute levels revealed substantial gaps. Conclusions  found no evidence declined 3 years training. immediately persisted should be addressed. Objectif:  La formation des agents de santea utiliser la prise en charge integree maladies l’enfance (PCIME) peut ameliorer les soins pour enfants malades situation ambulatoire dans pays developpement. Notre objectif etait determiner si sante formes PCIME s’est deterioree apres 3 ans. Methodes:  Nous avons etudie deux departements au D’abord, nous effectue une revue dossiers cours premiere annee d’implementation Ensuite, analyse donnees provenant d’enquetes transversales sur etablissements 2001–2004 couvrant toute zone d’etude. Les objectifs principaux etaient d’enfants moins 5 ans avec potentiellement mortelles qui ont recu soit un traitement recommande ou adequat, et parmi tous enfants, indice respect global directives. resultats secondaires refletaient le individuelles. ete calcules mensuellement tendances temporelles eteevaluees modeles regression. Resultats:  L’examen inclus enquetes comprenaient effectuees par sante. Pour sources donnees, essentiellement stables presque resultats. niveaux absolus revele ecarts considerables performance. Conclusions:  n’avons trouve aucune preuve que baisse PCIME. Toutefois, importants trouves immediatement persiste devraient etre resolus. Objetivo:  Entrenar los trabajadores sanitarios el uso las guias para Manejo Integrado Enfermedades Infantiles (MIEI) puede mejorar cuidados recibidos por ninos enfermos consultas externas paises vias desarrollo. Nuestro objetivo era determinar desempeno sanitarios, entrenados MIEI, se deterioraba lo largo anos. Metodos:  Estudiamos 2 departamentos En primer lugar, realizamos una revision expedientes durante ano implementacion del MIEI segundo hemos analizado datos estudios croseccionales centros entre representaban area estudio al completo. Los resultados primarios eran proporcion menores anos con enfermedades potencialmente mortales recibian tratamiento recomendado o adecuado; y todos ninos, adherencia general guias. secundarios reflejaban individuales. calcularon mensualmente, tendencias tiempo evaluaron mediante modelos regresion. Resultados:  incluyo consultas, realizadas sanitarios. Para ambas fuentes datos, esencialmente planas casi resultados. niveles absolutos revelaron lagunas sustanciales desempeno. Conclusiones:  No encontrado evidencia disminuyese despues haber recibido formacion MIEI. Sin embargo, encontraron importantes inmediatamente persistieron deberian ser solucionados.
