Antenatal Attendance

Abstract Background: A third of pregnant women in Nigeria do not attend Antenatal care, hence this quasi-experimental study was carried out within 500 consenting pregnant women within the 5 administrative zones of Lagos to determine the association between Mhealth services and utilization of antenatal and skilled delivery services amongst pregnant women in Lagos, Southwest Nigeria.Methods: Participants were divided into an intervention (who received voice messages) and a control arm (did not receive voice messages). Ownership of a mobile phone and willingness to participate were the selection criteria. Data was collected using a structured interviewer administered questionnaire. Analysis was by descriptive statistics with 95% CI to identify factors associated with antenatal attendance.Results: Total respondents were 488 (response rate 97.6%). One hundred and fifty-nine (63.8%) of the intervention group found the messages useful. Using the WHO 2016 ANC model, women in the intervention group had a significantly higher frequency of antenatal care attendance than the control group (p < 0.0001). There was a statistically significant difference in antenatal attendance between the intervention and the controls (p < 0.0001). There was also a significantly lower likelihood of poorly supervised (unskilled) home deliveries within the intervention arm (p=0.011). Conclusion: Mhealth was associated with an increased antenatal attendance and skilled birth attendance at delivery. This has a significant impact in reducing morbidity and mortality indices.

COVID-19 pandemic caused by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-COV-2) was first discovered in December 2019 in Wuhan, China and later declared a pandemic on March 11, 2020 by the WHO. This study was conducted to assess the impact of COVID -19 pandemic and its attendant infection prevention of lockdown on ANC utilization and deliveries by skilled birth attendants in Kaduna State. It is a retrospective data review of 18 months data on ANC clinic visit and skill birth delivery from 1,722 health facilities. October 2019 to March 2021 data was extracted from the DHIS 2. The analysis was carried out on SPSS using One Way ANOVA. A decline of 13.5% antenatal attendance for first booking compared to pre-COVID-19 was recorded. There was a slight increase of 3.5% Post-COVID-19. There was also a reduction of 4.1% in the number of pregnant women who had the four recommended ANC visits during the COVID-19 compared to pre-COVID-19 period. However, there was a reduction of 10.2% of pregnant women returning post COVID-19 lockdown. The study revealed increased number of pregnant women that delivered during and post COVID-19. There was an increase of 2, 753 and 1,699 during and post-COVID-19, respectively. At 95% confidence interval using significance value is 0.610 (i.e., p = .610), the significance is more than 0.05. Therefore, there is no statistically significant difference in the ANC utilization and skill birth attendance before, during and after the Covid-19 pandemic. Therefore Covid-19 did not affect ANC and skill birth deliveries.
