Acceptability of artificial insemination by donor among infertile women attending the Gynaecological Clinic of the University College Hospital, Ibadan
(Wolters Kluwer - Medknow, 2017) Obajimi, G. O.; Ogunbode, O. O.; Adetayo, C. O.; Ilesanmi, A. O.
Background: Artificial insemination by donor (AID) is specifically indicated in cases of incurable male infertility. Acceptability depends on perceptions largely influenced by religious and sociocultural perspectives. Male factor accounts for 20-50% of the causes of infertility and shows geographic variation in Nigeria. Method: A descriptive cross-sectional survey of all infertile women attending the gynecology clinic of the University College Hospital, Ibadan, between January and June 2014. 181 self-administered questionnaires were distributed to all consenting infertile women, however only 163 were suitable for analysis. Data analysis was descriptive and inferential at 95% confidence interval and a P value of less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Result: The mean duration of infertility was 5.7 ± 4.33 years. Fifty seven (35.0%) respondents were willing to accept artificial insemination by donor, while ninety three (57.1%) were unwilling to accept artificial insemination. Socio-cultural factor (48.1%) was the major reason for non-acceptability of artificial insemination by donor. Acceptability of AID was influenced by adequate knowledge about the procedure (P < 0.01). Sixty percent of the respondents had good knowledge and over half of them obtained the information from the news/print media. In this Study, acceptability of AID was not influenced by the age of the respondents, family structure, duration or type of infertility or educational status. (P > 0.05). Conclusion: This study revealed a low acceptance rate for Artificial insemination by donor. Providing information on AID as a treatment option during counseling and routine infertility management may be the needed drive to improve awareness and promote uptake when necessary.
Acceptability of counseling and testing for HIV infection in women in labour at the University College Hospital, Ibadan, Nigeria
(Makerere University, 2011-03) Bello, F.; Ogunbode, O. O.; Adesina, O. A.; Olayemi, O.; Awonuga, O. M.; Adewole, I. F.
Background: Many patients are referred to labour ward as emergencies, and therefore do not benefit from the antenatal HIV counselling and testing and treatment offered to registered patients. Objective: To assess the acceptability and suitability of offering HIV counselling and testing to women of unknown HIV status presenting in labour. Methods: A cross-sectional study comprising counselling and obtaining consent for HIV testing among 104 unregistered patients who presented in labour over a 3-month period. Rapid and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay screening was performed for 90 consenting respondents. Reactive results were confirmed by Western blot. Appropriate therapy was instituted. Results: Acceptance rate for HIV testing was 86.5%, prevalence of HIV was 6.7%. Women of lower educational status were more likely to accept testing in labour (OR: 0.3; 95% CI: 0.1-0.7; p=0.01); age, parity, occupation and knowledge of HIV had no influence. Most women (66.3%) had satisfactory knowledge of HIV. No one admitted to feeling coerced to test in fear of being denied care. Most refusals for screening were to avoid needle pricks (28.6%). Compared to ELISA screening test, specificity of the rapid test was 100%, sensitivity 85.7%, positive predictive value 100% and negative predictive value 98.8%. Attitude to testing was maintained on post-partum re-evaluation. Conclusion: The prevalence of HIV amongst unregistered parturients showed the importance of offering point-of-care HIV testing and intervention, especially in an environment where antenatal clinic attendance is poor. Rapid testing appeared to be acceptable and feasible in labour to prevent the mother-to-child transmission of HIV.

Antenatal care utilisation among adolescent mothers in Ngozi Province, Burundi
(Wolters Kluwer ‑ Medknow, 2024) Iradukunda, L. I.; Ogunbode, O. O.; Arulogun, O. S.
Background: Globally pregnancy and childbirth complications are the leading cause of death among adolescents, with evidence showing that antenatal care (ANC) is a very effective preventive intervention. In Burundi, there is limited information on the extent to which pregnant adolescents utilise such services. Objective: To assess the ANC utilisation and factors associated with its use among adolescent mothers in Ngozi Province, Burundi. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional, health facility-based study among 216 adolescent mothers who had given birth within two years preceding this study, using structured questionnaires and records from previous ANC booklets. A multistage random sampling technique was used to select respondents while the utilisation of ANC was determined by the frequency of ANC visits and the time when the women enrolled for the first ANC visit. Results: The majority (98.1%) of adolescent mothers in Ngozi Province used ANC services. Most respondents (64.8%) initiated ANC services within the first trimester while 57.8% attained the minimum of four recommended ANC visits. Marital status (P = 0.001), geographical location (P = 0.009), occupation of the partner (P = 0.002) and type of the last pregnancy (P = 0.012) were associated with ANC initiation within the first trimester while marital status (P < 0.001), respondent’s employment (P = 0.003) and type of last pregnancy (P < 0.001) were associated with appropriate ANC frequency. Conclusion: This study revealed a high use of ANC services among adolescent mothers, although more than one-third attended ANC late. There is therefore the need to put more effort into improving early booking for ANC.
Antenatal care visits’ absenteeism at a secondary care medical facility in Southwest Nigeria.
(Taylor & Francis, 2016) Oloko, O. O.; Ogunbode, O. O.; Roberts, O.; Arowolo, A. O.
Antenatal care (ANC) is a specialised pattern of care organized for pregnant women with the goal of maintaining good health and promoting safe delivery of healthy infants. It is an indispensable part of effective maternity care services. This study identified the factors responsible for absenteeism from ANC follow-up visits. It was a hospital-based prospective cross-sectional descriptive study conducted at a faith based secondary healthcare facility in Ibadan, Nigeria. Relevant data were retrieved using interviewer administered structured questionnaires and antenatal health record cards. The major reasons identified for absenteeism were delay in receiving hospital services due to long queues at service points and understaffing. The pregnant women aged 35 years and above were the most likely to miss the visits. Therefore, there is the need for hospital administrators and health care givers to make the services patient-friendly
Assisted reproductive techniques and gamete donation; knowledge, attitude and willingness to participate among students in a Nigerian tertiary institution
(Zambia Medical Association, 2020) Ogunbode, O. O.; Obajimi, G. O.
Background: Infertility is a worldwide problem affecting about 10-15% of married couples and has social, economic and psychological implications1. A significant number of couples will require assisted reproduction following failure of common treatment options. Undergraduates form a rich source of potential gamete donors and it is imperative to assess their knowledge, attitude and willingness to participate in the expanding gamete donor programs in a developing country like Nigeria. Objectives: This study aimed to assess the knowledge and attitude of participants about assisted reproduction and to further evaluate their willingness to donate gametes for assisted conception or act as surrogates. Methodology: This was a cross-sectional descriptive study of 1150 participants consisting of 511 male students and 639 female students of the University of Ibadan. Participants were selected by simple random sampling technique. A semistructured, self-administered questionnaire was used to obtain information on sociodemographic characteristics, knowledge, attitude and willingness to participate in gamete donor programs. Participation was voluntary and data obtained was treated with utmost confidentiality. Data was analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (IBM SPSS, New York) version 22. Descriptive statistics were generated, and the results summarized with the aid of a bar chart and frequency tables. Results: Eight seven percent of the respondents had good knowledge of Assisted Reproductive Techniques (ART) and the most common source of awareness was the media (63.3%). More respondents were aware of sperm donation (75.5%) compared to egg donation (61.9%). Ninety percent of the participants were correctly able to identify the places where ART could be practiced in Nigeria. Most of the respondents (81.5%) supported ART services and the most common reason for not supporting was due to ethical considerations (45.1%). Only about 54.9% were willing to participate in gamete donor programs. Nine (0.8%) female respondents had previously participated in egg (oocyte) donation while none of the male respondents had ever donated sperm. About threequarters of the respondents demonstrated good knowledge about the practice of surrogacy. Conclusion: Despite good knowledge about ART, only about half of the respondents were willing to participate in gamete donor programs. Religious and health concerns were primarily responsible for their reluctance. Providing Information, Education and Communication (IEC) materials about the safety of ART will increase the level of awareness and confidence in ART thereby increasing participation by potential donors particularly undergraduates in a developing country like Nigeria.
Attitude to caesarean section amongst antenatal clients in Ibadan, Nigeria
(College of Health Sciences, University of Ilorin, 2011-01) Bello, F. A.; Olayemi, O.; Ogunbode, O. O.; Adekunle, A. O.
This was a cross-sectional study carried out on 372 clients receiving antenatal care at a rural, suburban and urban centres, in order to assess the acceptance of caesarean delivery amongst them and the factors influencing their attitude. Caesarean section was acceptable to 65.7%. Many respondents will refuse the surgery, because they do not think abdominal delivery is natural or necessary. However, if indicated by their health caregiver to be necessary to save life, 78.3% would comply. Others would leave for a religious healing home, another hospital, a traditional birth attendant or be delivered at home. The cultural reasons why some women decline include feeling that caesarean delivery is due to “spiritual attacks”, retribution for maternal infidelity and failure of a woman to fulfil her reproductive function. Respondents were more likely to accept the surgery if they had heard of it before or had a previous caesarean delivery. They were less likely to accept it if they were Christians or attended the rural health centre. Age, parity and educational level had no influence. Only 4% of the respondents would request a caesarean section for non-medical reasons. Health education needs to be carried out in the community, as well as during antenatal classes, to address the cultural beliefs. Means of involving religious bodies in enlightenment campaigns to improve women's attitude should be explored.
Awareness of cervical cancer and screening in a Nigerian female market population
(Wolters Kluwer Medknow Publications, 2005) Ogunbode, O. O.; Ayinde, O. A.
Background: Cervical cancer, although largely preventable, remains a leading cause of cancer death among females in the developing world. The study was aimed at providing useful information on awareness of market women, who are from diverse social backgrounds, about cervical cancer and evaluate U1e extent of utilisation of Papanicolaou's smear by them, It was also aimed at determining the prevalence of risk factors for development of cervical cancer among the population. Methods: TI1is cross-sectional descriptive survey was carried out among market women at Aleshinloye market in November 2003, among 483 randomly selected respondents. A questionnaire probing into their sexual history, awareness about cervical cancer and the extent of utilisation of Pap smear was the survey instrument. Results: The majority (79.5%) of the women were sexually active. One hundred and eighty-six (38.5%) had early sexual debut and 163 (33.7%) had multiple sexual partners. Only 197 respondents (40.8%) were aware of cervical cancer. Of these, 95 (19.7%) were aware of Pap smear as a screening test. The common media of awareness were radio and television (46.6%), public lecture (27.8%) and friends/ relatives (19.9%). However, only 25 respondents (5.2%) have had previous Pap smear done. Conclusion: Though the market women are at considerable risk of developing cancer of the cervix, they are poorly informed about the disease and its prevention. Therefore, there is need for continuous awareness campaign and well-organized screening programmes among this unique category of women.
Breast examination as a cost-effective screening tool in a clinical practice setting in Ibadan, Nigeria.
(AOSIS (Pty) Ltd, 2013-02) Ogunbode, A. M.; Fatiregun, A. A.; Ogunbode, O. O.; Adebusoye, L. A.
Background: Breast cancer is a disease of public health importance. It results in high morbidity and mortality in women worldwide. The high morbidity and mortality from breast cancer can be decreased by measures targeted at early detection such as screening. Breast examination as a screening tool for breast cancer in developing countries is advocated in view of its cost-effectiveness. Method: The article selection method was obtained from primary and secondary literature sources which included original research articles, case control studies, review articles, proceedings, transactions and textbooks. The authors cited a clinical audit and articles published between 1988 and 2011. The search strategy included the use of internet search engines. This review was part of a larger research and the study protocol was approved by University of Ibadan/University College Hospital, Ibadan Institutional Review Board (UI/UCH-IRB). Clinical trial registration number: NHREC/05/01/2008a. Results: Breast self-examination (BSE) and clinical breast examination (CBE) as screening tools for breast cancer were analysed in detail. Conclusion: Breast examination is a screening tool that is cost-effective and reliable and should be encouraged in resource-constrained countries. Given the high cost and expertise required for mammography, current efforts at screening for breast cancer in developing countries should rely more on a combination of BSE and CBE
Breast self-examination practices in nigerian women attending a tertiary out-patient clinic
(Medknow Publications, 2015) Ogunbode, A. M.; Fatiregun, A. A.; Ogunbode, O. O.
BACKGROUND: The morbidity and mortality caused by breast cancer can be decreased by early detection with breast self‑examination (BSE).The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence and the factors determining the practice of BSE. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study was conducted on 140 women aged above 18 years who presented consecutively in a General Outpatient’s clinic in a tertiary hospital in Nigeria. This was the baseline study from an intervention study which looked at the effect of demonstration of BSE on improving Clinical Breast Examination (CBE) among two groups of respondents. Structured questionnaires were validated and administered by an interviewer and the data were analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 12. RESULTS: The overall self-reported prevalence of BSE practice was 62.1% among the respondents. Older women (16, 76.2%), married women (63, 65.6%) and women with tertiary education (51, 68.9%) had the highest prevalence of BSE practice. Prevalence rate was highest for civil servant (25, 78.1%), P = 0.04. The practice of BSE was higher among women with a previous history of breast disease (15, 68.2%) and in respondents with a family history of breast disease (7, 63.6%), Only 11 (12.6%) performed BSE as per guidelines, which was once in a month. CONCLUSION: The prevalence of BSE was found to be high, especially in those with tertiary education and in those with a past personal or family history of breast disease. In resource‑constrained countries, BSE is a screening tool that can be employed to help reduce the breast cancer burden because routine mammography screening is not yet feasible. Women need to be informed about the when and how to perform BSE
Cervical ectopic pregnancy managed with methotrexate and tranexamic acid: A case report.
(College of Medicine, University of Ibadan, in conjunction with the University College Hospital (UCH), Ibadan, Nigeria, 2014) Arowojolu, A. O.; Ogunbode, O. O.
Background: Cervical pregnancy is a rare life-threatening form of ectopic pregnancy and when it occurs, it is challenging to decide the management options. Surgical intervention has been documented to be complicated by intractable haemorrhage and most often necessitating hysterectomy. We hereby report a case of cervical pregnancy managed conservatively with medical agents prior to surgical intervention. Case presentation and management: A 29 year old primiparous woman with gestational diabetes mellitus who presented at 10 weeks gestation with 5 days history of brownish vaginal discharge and 2 days history of painless vaginal bleeding. On pelvic examination the cervix was disproportionately larger than the uterus with a closed internal os. Transvaginal and abdominal ultrasound scanning confirmed a live cervical pregnancy. She had intramuscular methotrexate and tranexamic acid followed by suction evacuation combined with balloon tamponade. Examination at 6 weeks post procedure revealed a normal cervix. Conclusion: Cervical pregnancy still occurs in this environment despite its rarity. Surgical intervention usually results in hysterectomy and adopting medical management as a first line treatment option offers the benefit of uterine preservation.
Clinical audit of knowledge and practice of epidural labour analgesia amongst obstetricians in South-West Nigeria
(East African Public Health Association, 2010-06) Osinaike, B. B.; Osinaike, B. B.; Ogunbode, O. O.; Aderinto, D. A.
Epidural analgesia (EA) is the most ideal method for pain relief during labour. We sought to highlight the current knowledge and practice of the obstetricians regarding epidural labour analgesia (ELA). An audit was conducted amongst obstetricians in two teaching hospitals in the south west of Nigeria. Most of our respondents received lectures about ELA but about half of them rated the lectures as inadequate. Though 37.8 % and 53.3% of respondents are of the opinion that there is interference with labour and increased incidence of instrumentation following epidural analgesia in labour respectively, however 84.4% agreed that the technique is not associated with adverse neonatal or maternal outcome and 97.8% will prefer their patients having epidural labour analgesia. We are of the opinion that education regarding ELA, both during and after obstetric speciality training, be improved, and well-established interpersonal relationship between obstetricians and anaesthetists will be needed to achieve this.
Clinical audit of stillbirths at a faith-based Secondary health centre in Ibadan, Nigeria: a six- Year review
(Zambia Medical Association, 2022) Ogunbode, O. O.; Poyeyiola, M. O.; Arowojo, A. O.
Objective: The determine the prevalence of stillbirth and identify associated factors among parturients in a faith-based secondary health centre. Method: This was a retrospective audit of two hundred and twenty-five stillbirth deliveries at the Our Lady of Apostle Catholic Hospital at Oluyoro, Oke-Offa in Ibadan, Nigeria, between 1st January2010, and 31st December, 2015. Data was extracted from hospital records for sociodemographic characteristics, obstetric factors, complications, and outcomes of pregnancy. Data analysis was done using SPSS version 20 and the level of statistical significance was set at p < 0.05. Results: The stillbirth rate was 27.75 per 1000 births. More than half (129; 57.4%) were macerated. The ratio of still birth rate among the booked and unbooked parturients was 1:21. The common causes of stillbirths were hypertensive disorders in pregnancy (24.9%), anaemia in pregnancy (20.4%); while the least were congenital anomalies (1.0%) and gestational diabetes mellitus (1.0%). Conclusion: This study confirmed that most of the stillbirths were due to unsupervised or poorly supervised pregnancies. There is need to ensure quality antenatal care services for the early detection and management of risk factors in order to reduce the burden of stillbirths.
Elective surgery cancellations due to the COVID-19 pandemic: global predictive modelling to inform surgical recovery plans
(JohnWiley & Sons Ltd, 2020) Nepogodiev, D; Omar, O. M; Glasbey, J. C.; Li, E.; Simoes, J. F. F.; Abbott, T. E. F.; Ademuyiwa, A. O.; Biccard, B. M; Chaudhry, D.; Davidson, G. H; Saverio, S. D.; Gallo, G.; Ghosh, D.; Harrison, E. M.; Hutchinson, P. J.; Kamarajah, S. K.; Keller, D. S.; Ogunbode, O. O.
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted routine hospital services globally. This study estimated the total number of adult elective operations that would be cancelled worldwide during the 12weeks of peak disruption due to COVID-19. Methods: A global expert response study was conducted to elicit projections for the proportion of elective surgery that would be cancelled or postponed during the 12weeks of peak disruption. A Bayesian 𝛃-regression model was used to estimate 12-week cancellation rates for 190 countries. Elective surgical case-mix data, stratified by specialty and indication (surgery for cancer versus benign disease), were determined. This case mix was applied to country-level surgical volumes. The 12-week cancellation rates were then applied to these figures to calculate the total number of cancelled operations. Results: The best estimate was that 28 404 603 operations would be cancelled or postponed during the peak 12weeks of disruption due toCOVID-19 (2 367 050 operations per week). Most would be operations for benign disease (90⋅2 per cent, 25 638 922 of 28 404 603). The overall 12-week cancellation rate would be 72⋅3 per cent. Globally, 81⋅7 per cent of operations for benign conditions (25 638 922 of 31 378 062), 37⋅7 per cent of cancer operations (2 324 070 of 6 162 311) and 25⋅4 per cent of elective caesarean sections (441 611 of 1 735 483) would be cancelled or postponed. If countries increased their normal surgical volume by 20 per cent after the pandemic, it would take a median of 45weeks to clear the backlog of operations resulting from COVID-19 disruption. Conclusion: A very large number of operations will be cancelled or postponed owing to disruption caused by COVID-19. Governments should mitigate against this major burden on patients by developing recovery plans and implementing strategies to restore surgical activity safely.
Ethical dilemmas in assisted reproduction; Perspectives from a developing country
(College of Medicine, University of Ibadan, 2017) Obajimi, G. O.; Ogunbode, O. O.; Ilesanmi, A. O.
Background: Ethical dilemmas continue to unfold as a result of the expanding roles of assisted reproduction. Understanding the basic ethical principles of Autonomy, Justice, Beneficence and Non-maleficence as key components of practice when providing advanced fertility management cannot be over emphasized. Ethics simply refers to the moral principles that govern a person or groups behavior. It is also defined as a code of moral principles derived from a system of values and beliefs that help define the correctness of our actions. Critical opinions have been expressed in the area of commodification of human tissue. There are also growing concerns about cross border reproductive care and its implication on reproductive health. Since ethical dilemmas may not be resolved at once, continuous appraisal of the current situation with the aim of developing locally relevant ethical frameworks is desirable. Examining these ethical concerns which confront our daily practices is not only pertinent but expedient as there has been a gradual expansion of assisted conception services in Nigeria.
Factors associated with obesity and weight reduction among people with obesity: A systematic review
(ScopeMed, 2020) Ogunbode, A. M.; Owolabi, M. O.; Ogunbode, O. O.; Ogunniyi, A.
Introduction: Obesity is a non-communicable disease of huge public health importance with several multi-systemic complications. Weight reduction techniques are useful in the management of obesity. The aim of this review was to determine the risk factors, health risks of obesity as well as factors influencing weight reduction among individuals with obesity. Methods: Google, Google Scholar, and Pub Med databases were used to identify studies on obesity that assessed risk factors and complications of obesity plus factors influencing weight reduction among people with obesity. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis guidelines were used and 914 literature records were retrieved. These were limited to papers published in English up to 2019. We excluded 702 articles that did not match our theme and also excluded an additional 156 full articles due to incompleteness. The evidence available was critically appraised in line with our objectives. Results: Fifty-six articles were reviewed, and it was found that obesity increased with age and was more in women. Inadequate diet, physical inactivity, and metabolic disor¬ders were contributory factors, whereas the main factors associated with greater weight reduction were lower pre-treatment weight, lower waist circumference, doctors as role models, and absence of psychiatric co-morbidities. Conclusions: Proven weight reduction methods are vital for the cost-effective manage¬ment of patients as part of lifestyle modification.
Factors influencing the knowledge and practice of emergency contraception among Nigerian male undergraduates
(Zambia Medical Association, 2020) Ogunbode, O. O.; Agboola, A.
Background: Unwanted pregnancies among young women is a growing reproductive health concern. Correct and consistent use of contraception will stop this ugly trend while emergency contraception (EC) can also be viewed as a 'second chance method' in preventing unwanted pregnancies and unsafe abortions. The aim of this study is to assess the knowledge and practice of emergency contraception among Nigerian male undergraduates as they are known to have risky sexual behaviours. Methodology: This was a cross sectional study involving three hundred and thirty male undergraduates from three Tertiary institutions in Ibadan. A Multi-staged random sampling technique was used to recruit participants. Results: Knowledge about EC was poor among majority (74.5%) of male undergraduates. About 55.2% of the participants were sexually active and out of which 33.9% are currently using EC. The commonly (67.5%) used EC by their partners was levonorgestrel only pill (Postinor). Participants with higher levels of education, awareness of EC, previous use or having a partner who had previously used EC, participants who had sex within the past 6 months and those who were willing to recommend EC to others had a better knowledge of EC, which were all statistically significant. Conclusion: Providing accurate information to improve knowledge of EC among young men could lead to an increase in the uptake of EC.
Gynaecological emergencies: The role of imaging in clinical practice

Health risks of obesity
(Association of Resident Doctors (ARD), University College Hospital (UCH), Ibadan, Nigeria, 2009-12) Ogunbode, A. M.; Fatiregun, A. A.; Ogunbode, O. O.
Obesity is becoming of interest as a non-communicable disease. There is however a dearth of information on obesity in this environment, as literature in developing countries is limited. Review of health risks of obesity is useful in order to increase the pool of available information in Nigeria and to draw attention to obesity and its attendant health risks.
