Never before in the history of health administration in our country has the government been so visible in the lives of the people. And while the pandemic continues to ravage many communities around the world, we can, at least, sit back a bit and survey where we have come from and look at some of the consequences of what we have been forced to do. Before the onset of the novel coronavirus infections in Nigeria, the entire nation had less than 350 intensive care unit (ICU) beds and ventilators among all the teaching hospitals, federal medical centres and private medical facilities around the country. By contrast, we saw how the UK built NHS Nightingale, a 4,000-bed ICU hospital facility dedicated to the treatment of Covid-19 patients in just nine days. So that in one hospital in England, not in that entire country, there were ten times more ICU beds than in the whole of Nigeria, and for a population less than one-third as large.

A look-back exercise to January 2016 had previously identified 43 cases for review. These 43 cases were subject to internal review which identified shortfalls in service delivery and were submitted to the Health Board during September 2018. By analysing the findings from a Datix search for stillbirths dating back to 2010, a Consultant Midwife also identified 67 stillbirths which had not been reported by the Health Board via Datix.

Rogers, Ruby Ibanga, Gerald L. Weinhouse, Victor Pinto-Plata, Jerome Ritz, Robert J. Soiffer, Joseph H. Antin, George R. Washko, Rebecca M. Baron, and Vincent T. Ho3 Publisher or Source: American Journal of Hematology Type of Media: Medical Research Media Originally for: Critical Care Physicians, Nurses and/or Other Critical Care Medical Professionals Country of Origin: United States Primary Focus of Media: Pre-Use of PICS Designation COVID-19 Related: No Description: Bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS) is a form of chronic graft vs. host disease (cGVHD) and a highly morbid pulmonary complication after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). We assessed the prevalence and risk factors for BOS and cGVHD in a cohort of HSCT recipients, including those who received reduced intensity conditioning (RIC) HSCT. Between January 1, 2000 and June 30, 2010, all patients who underwent allogeneic HSCT at our institution (n 5 1854) were retrospectively screened for the development of BOS by PFT criteria. We matched the BOS cases with two groups of control patients: (1) patients who had concurrent cGVHD without BOS and (2) those who developed neither cGVHD nor BOS. Comparisons between BOS patients and controls were conducted using t-test or Fisher’s exact tests. Multivariate regression analysis was performed to examine factors associated with BOS diagnosis. All statistical analyses were performed using SAS 9.2. We identified 89 patients (4.8%) meeting diagnostic criteria for BOS at a median time of 491 days (range: 48–2067) after HSCT. Eighty-six (97%) of our BOS cohort had extra-pulmonary cGVHD. In multivariate analysis compared to patients without cGVHD, patients who received busulfan-based conditioning, had unrelated donors, and had female donors were significantly more likely to develop BOS, while ATG administration was associated with a lower risk of BOS. Our novel results suggest that busulfan conditioning, even in RIC transplantation, could be an important risk factor for BOS and cGVHD. Am. J. Hematol. 89:404–409, 2014.
