- Lagos State has the highest COVID-19 burden in Nigeria, and a study assessed death factors among hospitalized patients there.
- Out of 2,858 patients, most were males (65.8%), young (average age 41.9), asymptomatic (55.5%), and had mild disease (73.8%); the overall death rate was 6.5%.
- Key risk factors for death included being male, older age, having comorbidities, and experiencing severe COVID-19, with males having a 50% higher chance and severely ill patients a 9-fold higher risk of death.
Background: Lagos State has the highest number of COVID-19 cases in Nigeria. We assessed the factors predicting the length of hospital stay of COVID-19 patients admitted in 15 isolation centres across the state.
Methods: We reviewed the electronic medical records of all COVID-19 patients admitted and discharged between February 27, 2020, and September 30, 2020.
Background: A lot has been documented about the pathophysiology and clinical presentation of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). We compared the clinical features of real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase-chain-reaction (RT-PCR) confirmed COVID-19 positive and negative patients admitted in Lagos State.
Methods: Medical records of all patients admitted in 15 isolation centres across Lagos state between 27 February 2020 and 30 September 2020, were abstracted and reviewed.
Introduction: Success in curtailing the pandemic coronavirus disease (COVID-19) depends largely on a sound understanding of the epidemiologic and clinical profile of cases in a population as well as the case management approach. This study documents the presenting characteristics, treatment modalities and outcomes of the first 32 COVID-19 patients in Nigeria.
Methods: This retrospective study used medical records of the first 32 patients admitted and discharged from the Mainland Hospital, Lagos State, southwest Nigeria between February 27 and April 6, 2020.

However, there is dearth of information on the association between IPV and STIs particularly among married women in Nigeria.
