Purpose: We sought to determine the prevalence of trachoma in 44 Local Government Areas (LGAs) of Kano State, Nigeria.
Methods: A population-based prevalence survey was conducted in each Kano LGA. We used a two-stage systematic and quasi-random sampling strategy to select 25 households from each of 25 clusters in each LGA.
Article Synopsis
- The World Health Organization aims to eliminate trachoma globally by 2020, recommending district-level mapping to plan elimination activities; this study focuses on trachoma data for Kaduna State, Nigeria.
- A population-based survey conducted in 23 local government areas (LGAs) of Kaduna State revealed low prevalence rates of trachomatous inflammation in children and varying levels of trichiasis among adults.
- While Kaduna State is largely hypoendemic for trachoma, some surgical intervention is still necessary, emphasizing the need for improved access to water and sanitation facilities.
Purpose: To determine the prevalence of trachomatous inflammation - follicular (TF) and trichiasis in each of the 20 local government areas (LGAs) of Bauchi State, Nigeria.
Methods: We undertook a population-based prevalence survey in each LGA in Bauchi State, employing the Global Trachoma Mapping Project methodology. We used a 2-stage, systematic and quasi-random sampling strategy.
Purpose: To determine the local government area (LGA)-level prevalence of trachoma in all 34 LGAs of Katsina State.
Methods: A population-based prevalence survey was conducted in each LGA of Katsina State, using the Global Trachoma Mapping Project methodology. We used a 3-stage cluster random sampling strategy to select 25 households from each of 25 clusters.
Purpose: To determine the magnitude of trachoma and the prevalent forms of the disease, and to provide baseline data for the establishment of a trachoma control program in Jigawa State, northwestern Nigeria.
Methods: A population-based cross-sectional survey was conducted in Jigawa State in May 2007 using a 2-stage cluster random sampling technique to select 4598 persons from 40 villages based on probability proportional to size. All participants were examined using a penlight and a 2.
Aims: To determine the prevalence and types of trachoma in all persons resident in Yobe state, Nigeria and establish baseline data for monitoring and evaluation of trachoma control programmes.
Methods: A population based cross-sectional survey of 27 villages' selected based on probability proportional to size. Three thousand, three hundred and fifty seven persons residing in these villages were examined with a x2.
