Abstract：
UNASSIGNED: Health statistics on dengue are virtually non-existent, despite the fact that the virus is circulating in Togo. This study aimed to assess the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) of health professionals in the Kara health region.
UNASSIGNED: A cross-sectional study was conducted from March to June 2022 among healthcare professionals who had worked in the Kara region of northern Togo were selected using an exhaustive recruitment method. Data were collected by trained resident doctors with a face-to-face interview using a standardized, pretested questionnaire based on the WHO 2009 dengue guide. Three multivariate regression models were utilized to investigate factors associated with knowledge, attitudes and, and practices.
UNASSIGNED: A total of 464 respondents (37.1% female), median age 35 years, interquartile range (29-43 years) were included. Only (3.0%) of the participants had received training on dengue fever diagnosis, treatment and prevention in the last 3 years, and 10.3% had dengue rapid diagnostic tests available at their hospital. Half of the respondents (49.1%) had good knowledge of dengue fever, compared with 30.0% who had positive attitudes. Of a total of 256 professionals who had encountered a case of dengue fever in their practice, only 24 (9.4%) had appropriate practices for diagnosing and treating dengue fever. In multivariate analysis, the healthcare professionals who had taken part in ongoing training on dengue fever were more likely to have adequate dengue diagnosis and treatment practice aOR = 8.1; CI 95% = [1.7-36.0].
UNASSIGNED: Strengthening healthcare professionals\' dengue-related skills through ongoing training and the provision of dengue diagnostic tests could help improve early detection practices and management of dengue fever in Togo.

摘要：
■关于登革热的卫生统计几乎不存在，尽管该病毒在多哥传播。这项研究旨在评估知识，态度，卡拉卫生区卫生专业人员的实践(KAP)。
■于2022年3月至6月进行了一项横断面研究，其中使用详尽的招募方法选择了在多哥北部卡拉地区工作的医疗保健专业人员。数据是由训练有素的住院医生通过标准化的面对面访谈收集的，基于世卫组织2009年登革热指南的预测试问卷。三个多元回归模型被用来调查与知识相关的因素，态度和,和实践。
■共有464名受访者（37.1%为女性），中位年龄35岁，包括四分位间距（29-43年）。只有(3.0%)的参与者接受过登革热诊断培训,过去三年的治疗和预防，10.3%的人在他们的医院接受了登革热快速诊断测试。半数受访者(49.1%)对登革热有良好的认识,30.0％的人有积极的态度。共有256名专业人士在执业中遇到登革热个案,只有24例(9.4%)有适当的登革热诊断和治疗方法.在多变量分析中，参加持续登革热培训的医疗保健专业人员更有可能有足够的登革热诊断和治疗实践aOR=8.1;CI95%=[1.7-36.0].
通过持续的培训和提供登革热诊断测试来加强医疗保健专业人员的登革热相关技能，可以帮助改善多哥登革热的早期发现和管理。
