Background: There is increasing evidence of an association between early term birth and adverse neonatal outcomes. However, there is a paucity of data on the true neonatal outcomes following term deliveries in lower-income countries, including Nigeria.
Objectives: This study compared the neonatal outcomes of early and late-term deliveries in a tertiary hospital in Lagos, Nigeria.
Background: Nigeria has one of the lowest antenatal care (ANC) utilization rates compared to other low- and middle-income nations. In order to ensure a , the World Health Organization recommends at least eight ANC visits during pregnancy. This study intends to examine the impact of a mobile phone-based voice message intervention on ANC use in Lagos, Nigeria.

The objectives of this study were to determine the prevalence of GBS colonization of the genital tract in women living with HIV infection and antibiotic susceptibility of GBS in the genital tract.
Method: This cross-sectional study recruited 244 pregnant women (122 women living with HIV infection and 122 HIV-uninfected women) between 35 and 37 weeks of gestation.
Article Synopsis
- In Nigeria, around 150,000 babies are born with sickle cell disease (SCD) each year, and this number could double by 2050 without proper screening and management strategies.
- *The study assessed the feasibility and acceptance of screening infants for SCD during immunization visits, finding that 86% of mothers were supportive, with a prevalence rate of 0.8% among the infants tested.
- *The HemoTypeSC diagnostic test was shown to be effective, offering 100% sensitivity and specificity compared to the traditional HPLC method, indicating a promising, cost-effective approach for early detection of SCD in infants.
Background: Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are of public health importance as over 1 million STIs are acquired daily worldwide. One-third of the new cases of curable STIs affect younger persons aged less than 25 years. Sexually transmitted infections can lead to severe complications beyond the immediate impact of infections as such.

HPV vaccination is a primary prevention to reduce the occurrence of cervical cancer. This study assessed knowledge, attitude and uptake of HPV vaccine among female undergraduates in Lagos State Polytechnic (LASPOTECH).

This study was aimed to determine the association between serum levels of trace elements and invasive cancer of the cervix.
Methods: This was an analytical cross-sectional study carried out among women seen at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH).
Background: Congenital Anomalies are a major contributor to perinatal deaths worldwide. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that 303,000 newborns die within the first 4 weeks of life worldwide as a result of it. The exact cause is often difficult to determine and as such efforts are geared towards prevention AIM AND OBJECTIVE: This study was done to determine the common presentations as well as epidemiological features of pregnant women with anomalous fetus and at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital.

CA125 is an antigenic determinant recognized by the murine monoclonal antibody OC125 quantified by radioimmunoassay. Its role in obstetrics is yet to be fully understood as most clinical trials advocating its uses are widely experimental in nature and unacknowledged.

Methods: The present descriptive cross-sectional study enrolled women aged 15-49 years with HIV who were at 14-26 weeks of a singleton pregnancy and were attending Lagos University Teaching Hospital, Lagos, Nigeria, between August 1, 2016, and April 30, 2017. Participants were selected by consecutive sampling and baseline data were collected through interviews.
Objectives: This study was aimed at determining the knowledge and acceptability of HPV vaccine among women attending the gynaecology clinics of the Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH).
Methods: This was a descriptive cross-sectional study involving 148 consecutively selected women attending the gynaecology clinic of LUTH. Relevant information was obtained from these women using an interviewer-administered questionnaire.
Background: Peripartum hysterectomy is life-saving and a life-threatening criterion of the World Health Organization (WHO) maternal near-miss concept. The maternal severity index (MSI) model was developed to assess the outcome of severe maternal morbidities. This study assessed severe maternal outcomes of peripartum hysterectomy using the MSI model and related maternal severity score with mortality.
