Researches
a) Completed
i. Febrile seizures in Ibadan. This study assessed the prevalence, underlying etiological factors and short term prognosis of children who present with febrile seizures at the University College Hospital, Ibadan, over an 11 month period .
ii. ICGV project. It was a project funded by Welcome trust. It was a study that focused on looking at the impact of maternal malaria and early infant growth pattern on cardiovascular development at 2 years of age, and to explore whether changes in insulin, the IGF axis and inflammatory markers in the infant are potential mediators of such relationships. It was carried out over a four year period.
iii. Clitoral and penile sizes in Nigerian newborn in Ibadan. This study aimed at creating useful normative data of Clitoral and penile sizes in the newborn that would serve as useful tools during routine neonatal examination making it possible to diagnosis disorders of sexual differentiation prompting.
iv. Pattern of Paediatric Endocrine Disorders and Challenges of Management in a developing economy. This study assessed the prevalence of paediatric endocrine cases that presented between 2002 and 2009. It is a retrospective observational study
v. Comparative analysis of blood glucose readings using different glucometers and how they vary with laboratory values. The study set out to evaluate the accuracy of two commonly used glucose meters in our hospital, Accucheck and One touch, compared to standard laboratory based glucose oxidase method and the effect of haematocrit from birth to fifteen years.
In progress
i. Pattern and incidence of congenital disorders in Ibadan. The study sets out to evaluate the prevalence and pattern of congenital disorders amongst children presenting in UCH, Ibadan, Nigeria.
