Item Assessment of Willingness and Attitude of Female Undergraduates of Universities in Kwara State, Nigeria towards Egg Donation to Infertile Couples(2022-07) Ameen, Hafsat Abolore; Ibraheem, Rasheedat M; Oladiji, F; Abdulraheem, HA; Salaudeen, AG; Musa, OI; Aderibigbe, SA; Akande, TM; Abdulraheen, IS; Abdulsalam, TSBackground: Literature is limited on research focusing on attitudes and willingness of undergraduate females, who are the target population for egg donation clinics. This study investigated the attitude of female undergraduates in Kwara State, north-central Nigeria, towards ethical issues in egg donation and their willingness to donate egg to infertile couples. Methods: We used a descriptive cross-sectional study design. A multistage sampling technique was also used to select 559 female undergraduates in universities in Kwara State enrolled for the 2017/2018 academic session. An adapted questionnaire validated and tested for reliability (r = 0.86) was used for data collection. IBM SPSS version 20 was used to analyse the data. Percentage was used to answer research questions, while Chi-square was employed to test the hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. The Results: Majority of the respondents were 15-20 years old 371 (66.3%), unmarried 541 (96.8%), Muslims 338 (60.5%), Yoruba (82.8%) and first-year students 304 (54.4%). Only a few respondents 100 (17.8%) believed it is good to support egg donation. Majority 357 (63.9%) believed that egg donors should be compensated (in cash or kind). Only 187 (33.4%) respondents agreed that egg donor and egg recipient should know each other. In addition, majority 503 (89.9%) of the respondents said they would not disclose their involvement in egg donation to their spouses. Slightly more than half (54.9%) of the respondents are not willing to donate their eggs for fear of the procedure, religious and cultural reasons. Conclusion: Female undergraduates in the study area are not in support of egg donation and are mostly unwilling to donate their eggs. The university authorities should include egg donation as a topic in General Studies (GNS) to keep female students abreast of issues in egg donation to enable them make informed decisions prior to donation.Item Epidemiology of severe pre-eclampsia and eclampsia in Ilorin.(Library and Publications Committee, University of Ilorin, Ilorin,, 2013) Bolaji, Benjamin olusomi; Oyedepo, olubukola Olanrewaju; Saidu, Rakiya; Aderibigbe, SA; Fawole, AA; Balogun, Olayinka Rabiu; Aboyeji, Abidun Peter; Jimoh, AbdulGaffar AG; Olawumi, Hannah O; Adebisi, SAThis study was carried out over a 10-month period in the University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital to determine the frequency and epidemiological factors of severe preeclampsia and eclampsia in Ilorin, North-central Nigeria. This was a prospective study of severely preeclamptic and eclamptic patients admitted to the labour ward of the UITH. Patients with normal pregnancies who agreed to participate were the control group. Demographic, clinical variables, maternal and foetal outcomes, and, complications were assessed. One hundred women (50 study group & 50 control group) participated in the study. Statistically significant findings among the study group included lower GA at delivery (p=0.0001), family history of hypertension (p=0.02), new partner (0.001), more interventions at delivery (p=0.000), higher number of preterm deliveries (0.000). Though 2 maternal deaths and 5 perinatal deaths were recorded in the study group, none occurred in the control group. Deeper understanding of the epidemiology of severe preeclampsia and eclampsia is very important to finding ways to further lower its contribution to maternal mortality in our societiesItem Knowledge of Oocyte Donation procedure and Health Consequences: a Cross-Sectional Survey of Female Undergraduates in North-Central Nigeria.(2022-05) Ameen, Hafsat Abolore; Olaitan, OL; Arimiyau, S; Musa, OA; Ibraheem, Rasheedat M; Abdulrahim, HA; Aderibigbe, SAEgg donation is a form of assisted reproductive technology used to help women with infertility. Though egg donation might attract some material benefit, potential egg donors often do not have knowledge of the associated health risks. This study investigated the knowledge of female undergraduates in Kwara State, north-central Nigeria, about oocyte donation to infertile couples. It was a descriptive cross-sectional study carried out in 2018 involving 559 female undergraduates recruited through a multi-stage sampling technique. An adapted questionnaire validated and tested for reliability was used for data collection. Data were analyzed using IBM SPSS version 25 software. Descriptive statistics of frequency count and percentages were used to answer research questions and Chi-square was employed to test the hypotheses at a <0.05 level of significance. Majority of the respondents were 15-20 years old (66.3%, 371) unmarried (96.8%, 541), Muslims (60.5%, 338), Yoruba (82.8%, 463), first-year students (54.4%, 304). Most of the respondents had poor knowledge of oocyte donation (60.3%, 337); poor knowledge of oocyte donation procedure (69.9%, 391), and poor knowledge of the health risks associated with oocyte donation (65.5%, 366). The study revealed that female undergraduates in the study area have poor knowledge of oocyte donation, its procedure, and the attendant health consequences. Universities in the study area should include oocyte donation as a topic in General Studies (GNS) in order to equip students with adequate information on the potential benefits and drawbacks of oocyte donation.
