Hypertension is the most common cardiovascular disease in Nigeria and contributes to a large non-communicable burden. Our aim was implement evaluate large-scale hypertension treatment control program, adapted from Kaiser Permanent Northern California World Health Organization HEARTS models, within public primary healthcare centers Federal Capital Territory, Nigeria.A type 2 hybrid, interrupted time series design used generate novel information on implementation effectiveness of multi-level...
<h3>Background</h3> More than 1.2 billion adults worldwide have hypertension. High retention in clinical care is essential for long-term management of hypertension, but 1-year rates are less 50% many resource-limited settings. <h3>Objective</h3> To evaluate short-term and associated factors among patients with hypertension primary health centers the Federal Capital Territory Nigeria. <h3>Design, Setting, Participants</h3> In this cohort study, data were collected by trained study staff from...
There are limited data on large-scale, multilevel implementation research studies to improve hypertension diagnosis, treatment, and control rates at the primary healthcare (PHC) level in Africa. We describe characteristics, of patients with public PHC centers Hypertension Treatment Nigeria Program.
There is a widespread consensus internationally, demonstrated in the UN Charter on Rights of Child (UNCRC) and subsequent policy documents, that children should be protected from work hazardous harmful. This paper, based doctoral research conducted with street-vending young people Nigeria, argues this approach fails to address complex reality children's lives developing countries. Findings interviews itinerant child vendors participant observation markets Enugu, demonstrate vending an...
Fixed-dose combination (FDC) therapy is recommended for hypertension management in Nigeria based on randomized trials at the individual level. This cluster-randomized trial evaluates effectiveness and safety of a treatment protocol that used two-drug FDC as second third steps control compared with free pill combinations. From January 2021 to June 2021, 60 primary healthcare centers Federal Capital Territory were using same medications these steps. Eligible patients adults (≥18 years)...
Implementing an evidence-based hypertension program in primary healthcare centers (PHCs) the Federal Capital Territory, Nigeria is opportunity to improve diagnosis, treatment, and control reduce deaths from cardiovascular diseases. This qualitative research study was conducted Nigerian PHCs with patients, non-physician health workers, administrators care physicians inform contextual adaptations of Kaiser Permanente Northern California's model World Health Organization's HEARTS technical...
To reduce excess dietary sodium consumption, Nigeria's 2019 National Multi-sectoral Action Plan (NMSAP) for the Prevention and Control of Non-communicable Diseases includes policies based on World Health Organization SHAKE package. Priority actions strategies include mandatory limits in processed foods, advertising restrictions, mass-media campaigns, school-based interventions, improved front-of-package labeling. We conducted a formative qualitative evaluation stakeholders' knowledge,...
The disease burden attributable to excess sodium consumption in Nigeria, the most populous country Africa, is large, with 10% of all deaths from cardiovascular due dietary sodium.1–3 While a very wide range estimates mean daily intake has been reported among Nigerian adults (dietary = 2.3–10 g/day; salt 5.8–25 g/day),1,4,5 government estimated that 2018 was 10 g/day, which two-fold higher than World Health Organization (WHO) recommendation.6 To reduce population-level published its National...
Increased consumption of unhealthy processed foods, particularly those high in sodium, is a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. The nutrition information on packaged foods can help guide consumers toward products with less sodium and support government actions to improve the healthiness food supply. aims this study were estimate proportion displaying other nutrients specified by Nigerian labelling regulations determine amount sold Nigeria using data from nutritional panel. Data...
It has been widely acknowledged in recent years that contemporary ideas about children and childhoods are framed by perceptions definitions both Western/minority world adult-centred. This paper argues this is not only the case for theoretical concepts but also found research practice, and, particular, commonly accepted ethical frameworks conducting with young people. Drawing from multi-sited fieldwork a combined ethnographic methodology of participant observation semi-structured interviews,...
Introduction: Previous hypertension research has evaluated retention using cross-sectional study designs. However, longitudinal analyses are likely more useful to identify areas for improving retention. Objective: To describe patterns among patients with in primary care 6 Federal Capital Territory council Nigeria. Methods: The Hypertension Treatment Nigeria Program implemented a multi-level intervention package 60 centers Baseline and follow-up data were collected from January 2020 December...

Objective: Pyridoxine, is essential in the metabolism of many classes food, we aimed at determining effect its supplementation on quality life (QoL) patients with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL).Methods: This study compared and haematological parameters CLL before after administration pyridoxine. Data obtained were analyzed using SPSS version 19.Results: There was improvement QoL pyridoxine supplementation; Majority that make up physical functional scales significantly higher...
Abstract Importance: Out of the >1.2 billion adults with elevated blood pressure globally, treatment (42.5%) and control (20.5%) rates are very low, including in Nigeria, most populous country Africa. A protocol that includes fixed-dose combination (FDC) therapy may improve hypertension more efficiently no increase adverse events compared a standard protocol. Objective: To determine efficacy safety uses FDC for Nigeria’s 2019 National Hypertension Treatment from baseline to 6 months....
