The ability and safety of community-based health workers to safely initiate lifesaving therapies for pre-eclampsia in Ogun State, Nigeria: An analysis of 260 community treatments with MgSO and/or methyldopa.
Pregnancy Hypertens
August 2021
Objectives: To evaluate community-based health workers' ability to identify cases of hypertension in pregnancy, safely deliver methyldopa and magnesium sulphate and make referrals when appropriate.
Study Design: This was part of Nigeria Community-Level Interventions for Pre-eclampsia (CLIP) cluster randomized controlled trial (NCT01911494). Community-based Health Workers (CHW) recruited pregnant women from five Local Government Areas (clusters) and used mobile health aid for clinical assessment of pre-eclampsia.
Article Synopsis
- Effective mosquito control in Lagos State depends on community engagement and understanding of Knowledge Attitude and Practices (KAPs), which are often overlooked in research.* -
- A study using questionnaires found that a majority of participants were educated about mosquitoes and preferred using insecticide aerosols and Insecticide Treated Nets (ITNs) for control, influenced by factors like cost and convenience.* -
- The findings indicate a high level of mosquito control knowledge among individuals aged 18 to 40, suggesting that this demographic can help guide better mosquito control strategies in local communities.*
Objective: To estimate the prevalence and prognosis of proteinuria at enrolment in the 27 intervention clusters of the Community-Level Interventions for Pre-eclampsia cluster randomized trials.
Methods: We identified pregnant women eligible for inclusion in the trials in their communities in four countries (2013-2017). We included women who delivered by trial end and received an intervention antenatal care visit.
Background: Most pregnancy hypertension estimates in less-developed countries are from cross-sectional hospital surveys and are considered overestimates. We estimated population-based rates by standardised methods in 27 intervention clusters of the Community-Level Interventions for Pre-eclampsia (CLIP) cluster randomised trials.
Methods And Findings: CLIP-eligible pregnant women identified in their homes or local primary health centres (2013-2017).
