Obstetric Outcomes in High-Order Repeat Caesarean Deliveries in Nigeria: A Single-Center Retrospective Study.

Objective: Our aim was to evaluate the trend of effect of prior caesarean delivery (CD) on obstetric outcomes; and to investigate the existence of a threshold for order of CD associated with geometrical increase in complications.

Materials And Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort study of 942 parturients who undergone CD between June 2012 and May 2015 in a teaching hospital in Nigeria. The participants were stratified by the order of caesarean deliveries.

The effect of integration of family planning education with infant vaccination visits on the uptake of postpartum family planning in Ile-Ife, Nigeria.

Integration of maternal and child health services can improve service utilisation. An operations research was conducted in a Nigerian tertiary hospital. A pilot study was conducted at three family planning (FP) and vaccination sites.

Normative references and clinical correlates of fetal umbilical artery Doppler indices in southwestern Nigeria.

Objective: To derive normative references for umbilical artery (UA) Doppler indices, including pulsatility index (PI), resistance index (RI), and systolic/diastolic (SD) ratio, for singleton pregnancies in Ile-Ife, Nigeria, and compare them with reference values from other populations.

Methods: A longitudinal study involving 415 women with a singleton fetus at 26-40 gestational weeks attending Obafemi Awolowo University Hospital, Ile-Ife, between July 2015 and March 2019. Fetal UA PI, RI, and SD ratio were measured every 4 weeks until delivery.

Comparison of weight gain between levonorgestrel and etonogestrel implants after 12 months of insertion.

Objective: To compare weight gain between women using etonogestrel implants and those using levonorgestrel implants 12 months after insertion.

Methods: A multicenter prospective cohort study was performed on women recruited from family planning clinics between July 2016 and August 2017. The main study outcome was mean weight gain after 12 months of insertion of the implants.

Maternal mortality in the last triennium of the Millennium Development Goal Era at the Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospitals Complex, Ile-Ife, Nigeria.

Unlabelled: The maternal mortality ratio (MMR) of Nigeria remains high. This retrospective study aims to suggest evidence-based strategies towards achieving the sustainable development goal target 3.1 at the Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospital (OAUTHC), Nigeria by providing contemporary data on MMR between October 2012 and September 2015.
