Malaria Prevention in Pregnancy Uptake and Predictors in Ohaukwu, Nigeria, 2022-2023

295 antenatal care records from 2022 to 2023 assess the coverage and predictors of Intermittent Preventive Treatment of Malaria in Pregnancy (IPTp-SP) in Ohaukwu, Ebonyi State, Nigeria. The data was extracted from maternal record booklets in selected health facilities by author Herbert Onuoha. Analysis was performed using SPSS version 26.

Use Cases

• Assessing coverage rates of malaria preventive treatment in pregnancy based on IPTp1, IPTp2, and IPTp3 uptake figures.
• Identifying predictors of treatment uptake based on factors like number of antenatal care visits, gravidity (primigravidae), and timing of care commencement.
• Analyzing demographic profiles of antenatal attendees based on age groups, occupation, and marital status mentioned in the results.

Strengths

• Contains specific coverage statistics for three doses of IPTp-SP and non-recipients for 295 participants.
• Includes identified predictors of uptake (ANC attendance, primigravidae, early ANC start) based on study results.
• Data is associated with a specific time range (2022-2023) and geographic location (Ohaukwu, Ebonyi State, Nigeria).

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for certain analyses.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is small (72.6 KB), indicating a limited scope focused on a specific locale and time.
