Objective: To describe the outcomes and quality of care for women and their babies after caesarean section (CS) in Nigerian referral-level hospitals.
Design: Secondary analysis of a nationwide cross-sectional study.
Setting: Fifty-four referral-level hospitals.
Objectives: The study aims to determine obstetric outcomes for women in commuter marriages (CoMs) compared to women in non-CoMs, as well as the influence of living-in-companions on the obstetric outcomes.
Methods: A prospective, multicentre, comparative study was conducted among antenatal clinic attendees in CoMs (160 women) and non-CoMs (160 women). Following consent, participants were recruited and monitored from antenatal booking until six weeks postpartum.
Objectives: The study evaluated pre and post-operative perception and aversion to caesarean delivery (CD) among men whose partners underwent the procedure.
Design: A multicentre cross-sectional study.
Setting: Two tertiary and two secondary health facilities.
Objective: The study compared the reliability of nitrazine, urea, and creatinine in the diagnosis of premature rupture of membrane (PROM). Nitrazine strip measures pH levels while urea and creatinine are produced mainly in amniotic fluid and not in the maternal vagina.
Methods: Sixty-four pregnant women with demonstrable passage or pooling of liquor par vaginum on speculum examination and 64 with no liquor drainage at 28-42 weeks gestation were studied.
Background: Preventing prolongation of the decision-to-delivery interval (DDI) for emergency caesarean delivery (CD) remains central to improving perinatal health. This study evaluated the effects of the DDI on perinatal outcome following emergency CD.
Methods: A prospective cross-sectional study involving 205 consenting women who had emergency CD at a tertiary hospital in Nigeria was conducted.
Background: Although out-of-pocket (OOP) payment for health services is common, information on the experience in maternal health services especially caesarean delivery (CD) is limited.
Aim: To compare the pregnancy events and financial transactions for CD among OOP and health-insured clients.
Materials And Methods: A comparative (retrospective) study of 200 women who had CD as OOP (100 participants) or health-insured clients (100 participants) over 30 months at Anchormed Hospital, Ilorin, using multistage sampling was conducted.
Objectives: The umbilical coiling index (UCI) is one of cord parameters for foetal assessment with limited studies in our environment. With recent advances in its evaluation, its significance, pattern, abnormalities and correlates need to be defined in our parturients.
Methods: The umbilical cords of 436 neonates were examined.
Background: Despite increasing request for the male partners' presence at delivery in developing countries, the view and practice of birth attendants remained poorly understood.This study aimed to evaluate the perception, attitude and practice of birth attendants concerning the requests in Nigeria.
Methods: A prospective, cross-sectional survey involving consenting birth attendants was conducted in six public and six private health facilities in North Central Nigeria.
Background: As efforts continue to increase contraceptive uptake, male partner support remains important in spousal modern contraceptive use.
Methods: A prospective cross-sectional survey involving women on modern contraception was conducted at the family planning clinic of the University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital, Nigeria, between December 2013 and April 2014. All consenting participants completed a self-administered questionnaire designed for the study, and statistical analysis was done with SPSS version 20.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate the relationships between placental characteristics and neonatal outcomes in healthy pregnant women, as previous literature on this was limited.
- Conducted from February to August 2013, the research involved gross examinations of placentas from 428 singleton deliveries at a teaching hospital.
- Findings revealed that placental weight showed a weak positive correlation with birth weight and gestational age, and higher placental weight was linked to the presence of congenital abnormalities in newborns.
Objectives: To evaluate the expectations of pregnant women on the role of the male partner during conception and delivery.
Methodology: A prospective multi-centre observational study comprising 506 pregnant women at eight health facilities in Ilorin, Nigeria from January to June 2014. Consenting women were recruited at antenatal clinics using multistage purposive sampling and a self-administered questionnaire was administered with provision for interpreters in local dialects for those without western education.
Objective: To determine the perception of and aversion to cesarean delivery (CD) and their determinants before and after primary CD.
Methods: A prospective cross-sectional survey of pregnant women undergoing primary CD (elective or emergency) was conducted in six health facilities in Ilorin, Nigeria. All participants completed an interviewer-administered questionnaire before the operation and 3-4days thereafter.
Objective: To compare the efficacy of oral misoprostol with that of oxytocin for active management of the third stage of labor (AMTSL).
Methods: A double-blind randomized control trial was undertaken at a center in Ilorin, Nigeria, between January and June 2013. Every other eligible patient (in the first stage of labor at term, to have a spontaneous vaginal delivery, and no/low risk of postpartum hemorrhage [PPH]) were randomly assigned with computer-generated random numbers to receive oral misoprostol (600μg) plus placebo injection or oral placebo plus oxytocin injection (1mL of 10IU) in the third stage of labor.
Objective: To determine the prevalence of asymptomatic bacteriuria, bacteriology and sensitivity pattern in Ilorin using the gold standard of urine culture.
Methods: A prospective study was carried out from 1st July to 31st October 2007, at the University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital (UITH) on 125 consenting asymptomatic pregnant women. A structured proforma was used to collect information from the women and a midstream urine specimen collected for bacteriological culture.
Urinary leakage is an important gynecological challenge, which has a substantial impact on quality of life. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and types of non-fistulous urinary leakage among women attending the family planning clinic of the University of Ilorin teaching hospital, Ilorin, Nigeria. The study was a cross-sectional study carried out between January 3 and April 25 2009.

Modern obstetric practice involves active management of labor with the aim of preventing prolonged labor and its sequelae. The main objective of this study was to determine and compare the average duration of labor of spontaneous onset between nulliparas (Po) and multiparas (P ≥ 1) and to determine factors affecting duration of labor.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFObjective: To evaluate the pattern of cervical dilatation in live singleton pregnancies with spontaneous onset of labor and to compare any differences among nulliparas (P ara 0) and multiparas (Para >or=1).
Material And Methods: Descriptive statistics are presented for 238 consecutive labor patients with spontaneous onset, >or=37 weeks gestation, live singleton pregnancy and who had spontaneous vertex delivery at the University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital, Nigeria, from May 2004 to June 2004. Pre-labor rupture of membrane and referred cases were excluded.
