Blood donation among women in Nigeria: Motivators, barriers and appealing incentives.

Background And Objectives: Women are grossly under-represented among blood donors in Nigeria. We, therefore, determined the barriers, motivators and appealing incentives to blood donation among women in Nigeria.

Materials And Methods: This was an internet-based cross-sectional study among women aged 18-65 years.

Functional iron status of chronic kidney disease patients at the University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital, Ilorin, Nigeria.

Background: Functional iron deficiency has been found to be a common cause of poor response to erythropoiesis stimulating agents in anaemic patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD).

Objectives: Assess the functional iron status of patients with chronic kidney disease.

Methods: This was a hospital based cross sectional study.

Adherence to prophylaxis and bleeding outcome: A multicenter Nigerian study.

In Nigeria, low-dose prophylaxis is the standard of care as it reduces bleeding, development of target joints, arthropathy, and improvement of quality of life. Non-adherence or poor adherence can prevent the achievement of these outcomes. The levels and determinants of (non-)adherence among persons with haaemophilia (PWH) in Sub-Saharan Africa have not been evidenced.
