Abstract

Malaria in pregnancy is associated with many complications therefore the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2012 recommended monthly use of intermittent preventive therapy with sulphadoxine-pyrimethamine (IPTp-SP) to reduce the menace of this disease in malaria endemic region. This study assessed the fetomaternal outcomes of monthly doses of sulphadoxine-pyrimethamine as intermittent preventive treatment (IPTp-SP) in Ibadan. This study was a prospective cohort study. The fetomaternal outcomes of 200 consenting pregnant women on monthly IPTp-SP that completed the study at Adeoyo Maternity Teaching Hospital, Yemetu, Ibadan were analysed. A proforma was used to collect data which included sociodemographic and obstetrics characteristics, prevalence of malaria among the participants and fetomaternal outcomes of the participants. Data obtained were subjected to analysis using statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) for window version 21 and results were presented in appropriate tables, charts and figures. Two hundred participants completed the study and although 11.7% of the participants had malaria parasitaemia at recruitment, only one participant had it at delivery. Most of the participants took 4 doses before delivery. Only 3% of the participants delivered at gestational age less than 34 weeks though 26.5% had preterm delivery. The mean PCV were 30.05±2.60 vs 32.63±3.40 at recruitment and delivery respectively. Only one out of 200 babies and two (1.0%) placental samples tested positive to malaria. The fetal and maternal outcomes of the participants were good following the use of monthly IPTp-SP therefore the uptake of monthly IPTp-SP should be encouraged among pregnant women in malaria endemic area.
