Outcomes and quality of care for women and their babies after caesarean section in Nigeria
CONCLUSIONS: One-third of births were delivered via CS (mostly emergency), with almost one in ten women experiencing a complication after a CS. To improve outcomes, hospitals should invest in care and remove obstacles to accessible quality CS services.PMID:38576257 | DOI:10.1111/1471-0528.17815 (Source: BJOG : An International Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology)

Prevalence and predictors of persistent low-level HIV viraemia: a retrospective cohort study among people receiving dolutegravir-based antiretroviral therapy in Southern Nigeria
CONCLUSION: PLLV was uncommon among individuals receiving dolutegravir-based ART and was associated with longer ART duration, prior viral suppression, and non-receipt of tuberculosis preventive therapy. This strengthens recommendations for continuous adherence support and comprehensive health services with ART, to prevent treatment failure.PMID:38572299 | PMC:PMC10989043 | DOI:10.1177/20499361241242240 (Source: Adv Data)
