ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: The successful outcome of any pregnancy depends on a well formulated and implemented ANC, which to a larger extent also depends on its functional and operational continuum of care, that is affordable, accessible and of high quality during and after pregnancy and childbirth. Defective ANC, in terms of coverage and quality, has been shown to be associated with unfavourable pregnancy outcome. OBJECTIVE: To determine the maternal and perinatal outcome(Obstetric performance) of booked and referred pregnant women who though, booked for ANC in lower health care facilities but were delivered at our facility. METHODS: The is a retrospective and cross-sectional study conducted at Olabisi Onabanjo University Teaching Hospital (OOUTH), Sagamu, Nigeria from the 1st of January 2017 to 31st of December 2018. RESULTS: The booked were significantly older than the unbooked (29.4±5.0 vs 28.5±5.5; P=0.001), while 47.6% and 35.3 % were nulliparous in the study and control groups respectively. Majority of the booked (69.3%) and the unbooked (59.3%) were aged 25-34 years. The mean Apgar scores at one minute were 7.0±2.0 and 4.7±3.1(P<0.001) for the booked and unbooked respectively while at five minutes they were 8.6±1.9 and 6.4±3.6 (P<0.001) for the booked and unbooked respectively and the differences were statistically significant at one and five minutes. The proportion of maternal deaths were higher among the unbooked than the booked (2.6% vs 0.4%; P<0.001), maternal morbidity ( 8.1% vs 2.5%; P<0.001) and fetal deaths (40.6% vs 6.3%; P<0.001) CONCLUSION: In all the indices and parameters compared between the two groups the unbooked patients (control) performed poorly and this is surprising despite the huge resources extended to secondary and primary health care delivery services in Nigeria.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and tuberculosis (TB) are the leading causes of death from infectious disease worldwide. The World Health Organization estimates that the prevalence of HIV among children with TB in moderate to high prevalence countries ranges between 10% and 60%. This study aimed to determine the access to HIV services of HIV-TB co-infected children. METHODS: A retrospective review of data of children diagnosed with TB in Lagos State, Nigeria from 1 January 2012 to 31 December 2013. RESULTS: A total of 1199 children aged between 0 and 14 years were diagnosed with TB. Of 1095 (91.3%) who underwent testing for HIV, 320 (29.2%) were HIV seropositive. The male-to-female ratio of HIV-TB positive outcomes was 1:0.9. Of the 320 HIV-TB co-infected children, 57 (17.8%) were aged <1 year, 86 (26.9%) 1-4 years and 186 (58.1%) 5-14 years; 186/320 (58.1%) began cotrimoxazole preventive therapy (CPT), and 151 (47.2%) were put on antiretroviral treatment (ART). ART uptake was not significantly higher in facilities where HIV-TB services were co-located (P > 0.05). CONCLUSION: The uptake of CPT and ART was low. There is a need to intensify efforts to improve access to HIV services in Lagos State, Nigeria.


Contexte : Le virus de l'immunodéficience humaine (VIH) et la tuberculose (TB) sont les causes majeures de décès dû à une maladie infectieuse dans le monde. L'Organisation Mondiale de la Santé estime que la prévalence du VIH parmi les enfants atteints de TB dans des pays à prévalence modérée à élevée va de 10% à 60%. Cette étude a eu pour but de déterminer l'accès aux services VIH pour les enfants coinfectés par TB-VIH.Méthodes : Une revue rétrospective des données d'enfants ayant eu un diagnostic de TB dans l'état de Lagos au Nigeria entre le 1e janvier 2012 et le 31 décembre 2013.Résultats : Un total de 1199 enfants âgés de 0 à 14 ans ont eu un diagnostic de TB. Parmi eux, 1095 (91,3%) ont eu un test VIH, dont 320 (29,2%) ont été positifs. Le ratio garçon/fille de coinfection TB-VIH a été de 1:0,9. Sur les 320 enfants coinfectés TB-VIH, 57 (17,8%), 86 (26,9%) et 186 (58,1%) respectivement avaient <1 an, 1­4 ans et 5­14 ans. Sur les 320 enfants coinfectés TB-VIH, 186 (58,1%) ont débuté le cotrimoxazole (CPT) tandis que 151 (47,2%) étaient sous traitement antirétroviral (ART). La mise sous ART n'a pas été significativement plus élevée dans les structures où les services TB-VIH se trouvaient au même endroit (P > 0,05).Conclusion : La mise sous CPT et ART a été faible. Il est nécessaire d'intensifier les efforts d'amélioration de l'accès aux services VIH à Lagos, Nigeria.


Marco de referencia: La infección por el virus de la inmunodeficiencia humana (VIH) y la tuberculosis (TB) son las principales causas de muerte por enfermedad infecciosa en todo el mundo. La Organización Mundial de la Salud considera que la prevalencia de infección por el VIH en los niños con TB de los países con prevalencia moderada o alta oscila entre 10% y 60%. El presente estudio tuvo por objeto determinar el acceso de los niños coinfectados por el VIH y la TB a los servicios relacionados con el VIH.Método: Se llevó a cabo un examen retrospectivo de los datos sobre los niños con diagnóstico de TB en el estado de Lagos en Nigeria del 1° de enero del 2012 al 31 de diciembre del 2013.Resultados: Se estableció el diagnóstico de TB en 1199 niños de 0 a 14 años de edad, de los cuales 1095 contaban con una prueba diagnóstica del VIH (91,3%) y 320 habían obtenido un resultado positivo (29,2%). La proporción entre el sexo masculino y femenino fue 1:0,9 en los niños coinfectados. De los 320 casos de coinfección, 57 eran menores de un año de edad (17,8%), 86 tenían entre 1 y 4 años (26,9%) y 186 entre 5 y 14 años de edad (58,1%). De los 320 niños coinfectados, se inició tratamiento preventivo con cotrimoxazol (CPT) en 186 (58,1%) y 15 niños comenzaron el tratamiento antirretrovírico (ART) (47,2%). La aceptación del ART no fue significativamente más alta en los establecimientos donde los servicios contra la TB y el VIH compartían la ubicación (P > 0,05).Conclusión: La aceptación del CPT y el ART fue baja. Es preciso intensificar las iniciativas tendentes a mejorar el acceso a los servicios relacionados con el VIH de Lagos, en Nigeria.
