Introduction: Childhood pneumonia is a leading cause of child mortality in Nigeria and poor quality of care is a persistent issue. We aimed to understand whether introducing primary care stabilisation rooms equipped with pulse oximetry and oxygen systems alongside healthcare worker (HCW) training improved the quality of care for children with pneumonia in Lagos State.
Methods: : Ikorodu local government area, Lagos.
Nasal Corticosteroid Delivery Methods in Chronic Rhinosinusitis With Polyps: A Systematic Review.
Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg
February 2025
Objective: This systematic review evaluates and compares the efficacy and safety of different intranasal corticosteroid delivery methods for treating chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP).
Data Sources: Embase, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), PubMed, and Web of Science were systematically searched from January 1, 1980 to January 9, 2024.
Review Methods: Two independent reviewers searched 4 databases for English-language, prospective randomized controlled trials (RCT), comparing different delivery methods of corticosteroids for the treatment of CRSwNP.
Background: Titration of oxygen therapy to target safe oxygen saturation (SpO) values is a vital part of care for preterm infants, but is difficult to achieve, particularly in settings in which oxygen, monitoring technology, and human resources are scarce. We aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of automated titration of oxygen therapy partnered with a low-cost continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) device versus manual oxygen control in preterm infants requiring CPAP in a high-mortality, low-resource setting.
Methods: In this open-label, randomised, crossover trial, preterm infants with a gestational age younger than 34 weeks (or a birthweight <2 kg if gestation was unknown) who were aged 12 h or older and required CPAP and oxygen were recruited at two hospitals in southwest Nigeria.
Level of knowledge, and risk perception of mpox disease among primary healthcare workers in Nigeria: a cross-sectional study of Jigawa, Oyo and Lagos States.
Pan Afr Med J
December 2024
Article Synopsis
- A study in Nigeria examined primary healthcare workers' knowledge and perception of mpox, noting limited research on the topic despite rising cases from 2017 to 2022.
- The survey assessed knowledge across various areas, revealing that while 78.3% were aware of mpox, understanding of its transmission was notably low, especially in Lagos compared to other regions.
- Most healthcare workers recognized that mpox could affect anyone, but nearly half felt that they couldn't protect themselves from it, highlighting gaps in knowledge and perceived vulnerability.
Objective: Many studies have compared outcomes following anterior and posterior cervical fusion, yet the differences in the impacts of perioperative complications on outcomes have not been well studied. This study aimed to assess the differences in the effects of 30-day perioperative complications on patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) after multilevel anterior versus posterior cervical fusion.
Methods: Adult patients who underwent anterior or posterior cervical fusion at three or more levels between 2014 and 2020 were analyzed.
