The Society of Gastroenterology and Hepatology in Nigeria (SOGHIN) recommends HBV screening for all Nigerians to pave way for early detection and treatment of the infection in those who are infected and prevention of infection in individuals who are free of the infection via immunization. Identifying seropositive paturients and taking steps to deter vertical transmission are important preventive strategies. This study, therefore, sought to determine the seroprevalence rate of HBV infection among paturients seen at a tertiary hospital in Ilorin. Patients and Methods: This was a prospective observational study of pregnant women seen between September 1 to December 31, 2012 at the Ante-natal clinic of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital (UITH), Ilorin. Demographic information, relevant medical information and blood samples for screening were taken from all booked and unbooked pregnant women after obtaining informed consent. The serologic test done was a qualitative one using immunochromatographic test strips to screen for the presence of Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) in the sera of the study subjects. Results: A total number of 237 pregnant women were enrolled into this study during the study period (mean age 31.2 ± 3.4 years). Thirty (12.7%) of the study subjects had positive test results to the presence of HBsAg in their sera. Hence, the HBV seroprevalence rate in this study was 12.7%. Conclusion and recommendations: This study has shown a high HBV seroprevalence rate of 12.7% among pregnant women seen at UITH. It is our recommendation, therefore, that HBV screening be included among the routine antenatal investigations for all pregnant women in UITH and the community at large.Item Prevalence Of Human Immunodeficiency Virus & Hepatitis B Virus Co-Infection In A Population Of Apparently Healthy Pregnant Women In University Of Ilorin Teaching Hospital, Ilorin(College of Health Sciences, University of Ilorin, Ilorin, 2016-01) Ogunlaja, Olumuyiwa Ayotunde; Fawole, Adegboyega Adisa; Bojuwoye, Matthew Olumuyiwa; Idowu, Ajibola; Ogunlaja, Idowu PaulineItem The knowledge and attitude of students of a Nigerian tertiary institution about peptic ulcer disease(College of Health Sciences, Osun State University, Osun State, 2021) Bojuwoye, Matthew Olumuyiwa; Ogunmodede, James Ayodele; Ogunlaja, Olumuyiwa Ayotunde; Fasiku, Mojirola Martina; Oyeleke, Ganiyat Kikelomo; Olokoba, Abdulfatai BamideleObjectives: This study was aimed at assessing the knowledge and attitude of students of a tertiary institution in North-Central Nigeria about peptic ulcer disease (PUD) Methodology: Three hundred students of the Kwara State Polytechnic, Ilorin, were recruited using a multistage sampling method. A semi-structured questionnaire was used to obtain socio-demographic data and assess their knowledge about and attitude towards PUD. Results: Two hundred and thirty-four (78.0%) of respondents had heard about PUD before. Two hundred and fifty (83.3%) of the respondents thought PUD was a gastrointestinal disease whereas 40 (13.3%) thought it was a disease of the heart. Only one (0.3%) of the respondents knew Helicobacter pylori as a cause of PUD, and only 17.3% believed drugs could treat PUD. Students of Science-based courses were twice as likely as non-Science based students to have had a prior knowledge of PUD (OR: 1.98, CI: 1.054 3.717, P=0.034). Conclusion: Though majority of respondents had heard about PUD, their knowledge of its aetiology, symptoms and treatment was poor. This reflects the need to strengthen public health education about PUD because of its potential for causing morbidity and mortalityItem Ultrasound estimation of amniotic fluid and perinatal outcome in normotensive and pre-eclamptics at term in a Nigerian tertiary hospital(School of Medicine and Health Sciences, University for Development Studies, Tamale, Ghana, 2015) Ogunlaja, Olumuyiwa Ayotunde; Fawole, Adegboyega Adisa; Adeniran, A. S; Adesina, Kikelomo T; Akande, H. J.; Ogunlaja, Idowu Pauline; Bojuwoye, Matthew Olumuyiwa; Idowu, AjibolaPre-eclampsia is a subtype of hypertensive disorder in pregnancy which is described as a disorder of widespread vascular endothelial malfunction and vasospasm that manifest clinically after 20 weeks gestation and can present as late as 4-6 weeks postpartum. However, the focus in modern obstetric care is on reduction of maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality through preventive strategies. The objective of this study was to determine the usefulness of ultrasound scan measurement of the amniotic fluid indices in determining perinatal outcome in normotensive and preeclamptic paturients at term. This was an observational study involving 120 consenting preeclamptics and 120 normotensive women. An analysis of the measures of perinatal outcome in this study revealed a statistical significant difference when meconium stained liquor, route of delivery, fetal outcome and birth weight in pre-eclamptic women were compared with those of normotensive women. Ultrasound estimation of amniotic fluid in pre-eclamptic and normotensive paturients has been found to be useful in the management of these patients with the aim of improving perinatal outcome. Hence, there may be a need to include this in the protocol of management; however, randomized control trials will be needed to further justify the finding of this recommendation.Item Venous thromboprophylaxis risk assessment amongst gynaecological patients in a tertiary health institution, south west Nigeria(Nigerian Medical Association Enugu State, 2020) Ogunlaja, Olumuyiwa Ayotunde; Abolarin, Ademola; Ogunlaja, Idowu Pauline; Aworinde, Olufemi; Olasinde, Yetunde; Akinola, Samuel; Bojuwoye, Matthew OlumuyiwaVenous Thromboembolism (VTE), is a major health concern that has continued to pose a challenge to clinicians. It is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in our environment. In recent years there has been renewed attention on the need for thromboprophylaxis to prevent VTE and its consequences. This is a prospective study carried out on the gynaecological in patients of Bowen University Teaching Hospital, Ogbomoso. This study involved the use of a questionnaire with the details of the Caprini score in assessing patients. Our study revealed that 83 (58.5%) patients had low risk for VTE while 55 (38.7%) had moderate risk for VTE. Only 4 (2.8%) of participants had a high risk for VTE and none of the gynaecological patients could be classified as very low risk according to the Caprini index. There is a need to train and retrain health care givers on the importance of thromboprophylaxis. This training should include the development of local protocols similar to international guidelines meeting the local needs, this will go a long way to ensure it is user friendly to healthcare workers.
