Background: Visual Inspection with Acetic acid (VIA) is the best feasible method of screening and early detecting for cervical dysplasia for resource limited settings like Africa. There is no study that can represent Africa on VIA positivity. Therefore, this metaanalysis was planned to verify the best available articles to pool the visual inspection with acetic acid positivity in screening and early detection of cervical dysplasia in Africa.

Background: Several studies have been conducted on structural congenital anomalies (CA). However, there is a paucity of studies that provide a comprehensive review of structural anomalies. We aimed to verify the available research articles to pool the possible risk factors of structural CA in resource-limited settings.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study reviews neonatal structural birth defects, highlighting the need for a comprehensive analysis of risk factors in resource-limited settings, as previous research has lacked this scope.
  • - A thorough search of multiple databases resulted in the inclusion of 10 articles, analyzing data from 95,755 women, and excluding studies with weak methodologies or incomplete information.
  • - Key findings showed a high prevalence of structural congenital anomalies, with significant associations identified for factors such as maternal illness, drug use, birth weight, and lack of folic acid during pregnancy, indicating a need for improved preconception care.

Introduction: Antenatal exercise can reduce gestational weight gain, backache; pregnancy induced medical disorders, caesarean section rates, and improves pregnancy outcomes. American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ACOG) recommends prenatal exercise, which is associated with minimal risk and has been shown to be beneficial for pregnancy outcomes, although some exercise routines may need to be modified. Consequently, this meta-analysis is intended to verify the pooled practice of antenatal exercise in Africa using available primary articles.
