BackgroundSub-Saharan Africa has the highest incidence, prevalence, and fatality from stroke globally. Yet, only little information about context-specific risk factors for prioritising interventions to reduce burden in sub-Saharan is available. We aimed identify characterise effect of top modifiable Africa.MethodsThe Stroke Investigative Research Educational Network (SIREN) study a multicentre, case-control done at 15 sites Nigeria Ghana. Cases were adults (aged ≥18 years) with confirmed by...

Abstract Background African ancestry populations have the highest burden of stroke worldwide, yet genetic basis in these is obscure. The Stroke Investigative Research and Educational Network (SIREN) a multicenter study involving 16 sites West Africa. We conducted first-ever genome-wide association (GWAS) indigenous Africans. Methods Cases were consecutively recruited consenting adults (aged > 18 years) with neuroimaging-confirmed ischemic stroke. Stroke-free controls ascertained using...
This mini review aims to provide an overview of the role telemedicine in preventing multi-drug resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) Nigeria. The specific objectives include examining potential benefits telemedicine, identifying challenges associated with its implementation, and highlighting importance addressing infrastructure limitations data privacy concerns.
Introduction: The African Rigorous Innovative Stroke Epidemiological Surveillance (ARISES) study is focused on developing an integrated mHealth community-based interactive Information and System. This the first paper to qualitatively investigate contrast community beliefs, attitudes, practices related stroke prevention, risk factors care from alternative/complementary medicine providers/healers, orthodox/modern medicine/health providers, members leaders in Nigeria. Methods: Six focus groups...

The relationship between diagnosed high blood pressure (HBP) and proximity to health facilities noise sources is poorly understood. We investigated the associations number of persons with HBP at different distance corridors noise-generating (churches, mosques, bus stops, road networks), monitoring outlets (healthcare pharmaceutical shops) in Ibadan, Nigeria. In addition, we likelihood being using from sources, outlets, socio-demographic clinical status participants. 13,531 adults African...

Diagnosed hypertension stands out as a prominent global cause of mortality, prompting recent efforts to understand not only treatment options but also determinants across diverse age and occupational groups. However, the literature on impact environmental factors diagnosed is limited, especially in rural areas with restricted access health infrastructure. Geographical research has often focused spatial variations different units, potentially masking individual contributions. Data patients...
Introduction Stroke is a leading cause of adult neurologic disability, cognitive decline, and death worldwide, particularly in Africa. research Africa has exposed challenges militating against the translation evidence into practice policy. The evidence-based, context-sensitive multilevel strategies required to surmount these are presented this report on first African Leaders' Summit (ASLS) organized tackle burden stroke Methods Africa–UK Partnership (AUKSP) Project had Steering Committee...
Introduction Stroke is a prominent cause of death, disability, and dementia in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). The Investigative Research Education Network works collaboratively with stroke survivors individuals serving as community controls to comprehensively characterize the genomic, sociocultural, economic behavioral risk factors for SSA. Purpose In this paper, we aim to: i) explore attitudes, beliefs, practices related Ghana Nigeria using process qualitative description; ii) propose actions...
Background and Purpose- The interplay between sex the dominant risk factors for stroke occurrence in sub-Saharan Africa has not been clearly delineated. We compared effect sizes of by among West Africans. Methods- SIREN study (Stroke Investigative Research Educational Networks) is a case-control conducted at 15 sites Ghana Nigeria. Cases were adults aged >18 years with computerized tomography/magnetic resonance imaging confirmed stroke, controls age- sex-matched stroke-free adults....
