Introduction: The aim of this study was to determine the frequency, the socio-demographic aspect, the consequences on the schooling of girls and the control measures of underage pregnancy in schooling in Niger.
Methods: This was a prospective cohort study over a 12-month period. The study concerned pregnant and parturient girls who were minors and in the process of attending school in the city of Niamey in the Republic of Niger.
Background: Abdominal pregnancy is a rare medical condition that is still missed in developing countries due to inadequate medical facilities. The clinical indicators manifest in various forms and are nonspecific, making it challenging to diagnose and often leading to delayed detection. However, obstetric ultrasound serves as an essential tool in early detection.

It can mimic both, clinically, and radiologically an abscess, or a tumor, thus, making its diagnosis difficult and late. It can lead to a high morbidity and mortality rate for the patient and engages the surgeon's civil liability.

The bicornuate uterus accounts for about half of uterine abnormalities. The conception of a pregnancy and its evolution to term on this uterine abnormality is rare.

Methods: A cross-sectional analysis conducted across 11 countries in Sub-Saharan Africa, using facility-level information from the World Health Organization (WHO) Multi-Country Survey on Abortion-related morbidity (MCS-A) between 2017 and 2018. PAC signal functions were adapted to assess facilities' capability to deliver comprehensive PAC through infrastructure, standard comprehensive capability, and extended comprehensive capability to provide PAC.
Objective: To assess satisfaction with care for abortion-related complications experienced among adolescents compared to older women.
Methods: A secondary analysis of the WHO Multi-Country Survey on Abortion-related Morbidity and Mortality-a cross-sectional study conducted in health facilities in 11 Sub-Saharan African countries. Women with abortion-related complications who participated in an audio computer-assisted self-interview were included.
Introduction: the purpose of this study was to determine the frequency and to evaluate maternal and perinatal prognosis during pregnancy and childbirth among married child students in the city of Niamey.
Methods: we conducted a case-control study of gestants and parturients at the Issaka Gazobi Maternity Hospital in Niamey over the period January 2018-December 31, 2018. Child students (<18 years) were compared to students aged 18-27 years.
Introduction: Complications due to unsafe abortions are an important cause of morbidity and mortality in many sub-Saharan African countries. We aimed to characterise abortion-related complication severity, describe their management, and to report women's experience of abortion care in Africa.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was implemented in 210 health facilities across 11 sub-Saharan African countries.
Caesarean section (CS) is increasing globally, and women with prior CS are at higher risk of uterine rupture in subsequent pregnancies. However, little is known about the incidence, risk factors, and outcomes of uterine rupture in women with prior CS, especially in developing countries. To investigate this, we conducted a secondary analysis of the World Health Organization Multicountry Survey on Maternal and Newborn Health, which included data on delivery from 359 facilities in 29 countries.

Methods: In our cross-sectional study, we included women attending health facilities in Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East that dealt with at least 1000 childbirths per year and had the capacity to provide caesarean section. We obtained data from analysis of hospital records for all women giving birth and all women who had a severe maternal outcome (SMO; ie, maternal death or maternal near miss).
Background: Induction of labor is being increasingly used to prevent adverse outcomes in the mother and the newborn.This study assessed the prevalence of induction of labor and determinants of its use in Africa.
Methods: We performed secondary analysis of the WHO Global Survey of Maternal and Newborn Health of 2004 and 2005.
Objective: To assess the association between cesarean delivery rates and pregnancy outcomes in African health facilities.
Methods: Data were obtained from all births over 2-3 months in 131 facilities. Outcomes included maternal deaths, severe maternal morbidity, fresh stillbirths, and neonatal deaths and morbidity.
Objective: To set up a global system for monitoring maternal and perinatal health in 54 countries worldwide.
Methods: The WHO Global Survey for Monitoring Maternal and Perinatal Health was implemented through a network of health institutions, selected using a stratified multistage cluster sampling design. Focused information on maternal and perinatal health was abstracted from hospital records and entered in a specially developed online data management system.
