  • Sequela of Female Genital Mutilation on Birth Outcomes in Jijiga Town, Ethiopian Somali Region: a Prospective Cohort Study
    Gebremicheal et al. BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth (2018) 18:305 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12884-018-1937-4 RESEARCHARTICLE Open Access Sequela of female genital mutilation on birth outcomes in Jijiga town, Ethiopian Somali region: a prospective cohort study Kiros Gebremicheal1*, Fisehaye Alemseged2, Haimanot Ewunetu2, Daniel Tolossa3, Abdibari Ma’alin1, Mahlet Yewondwessen1 and Samuel Melaku4 Abstract Background: In Ethiopia, female genital mutilation (FGM) remains a serious concern and has affected 23.8 million women and girls, with the highest prevalence in Somali regional state. Even though FGM is reported to be associated with a range of obstetric complications, little is known about its effects on childbirth in the region. Therefore, the objective of this study was to test the hypothesis that FGM is a contributing factor to the increased risk of complication during childbirth. Methods: Facility based cohort study, involving 142 parturients with FGM and 139 parturients without FGM, was conducted in Jijiga town from October to December, 2014. The study participants were recruited by consecutive sampling technique. Data were collected using a structured interviewer administered questionnaire and observational checklists. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 16 and STATA version 11. Results: The existence of FGM was significantly associated with perinealtear [RR = 2.52 (95% CI 1.26–5.02)], postpartum blood loss [RR = 3.14 (95% CI 1.27–7.78)], outlet obstruction [RR = 1.83 (95% CI 1.19–2.79)] and emergency caesarean section [RR = 1.52 (95% CI 1.04–2.22)]. FGM type I and FGM type II did not demonstrate any association with prolonged 2nd stage of labour, emergency caesarean section, postpartum blood loss, and APGAR score < 7.

    NATIONAL METEOROLOGICAL SERVICES AGENCY TEN DAY AGROMETEOROLOGICAL BULLETIN P.BOX 1090 ADDIS ABABA TEL 512299 FAX 517066 E-mail [email protected] 1-10, January 2005 Volume 15 No. 1 Date of issue January 12, 2005 SUMMARY During the third dekad of December 2004, most parts of SNNPR, parts of eastern, western and southeastern Oromiya, eastern Amhara as well as parts of southwestern Somali experienced normal to above normal rainfall while the rest portions of the country were under below normal rainfall. The pronounced dry spells over much of the country favored the on going harvest and post harvest activities over much of Meher growing areas of the country. On the other hand, the observed better rainfall condition over southern, southeastern and parts of western Oromiya, SNNPR and southwestern Somali could have indispensable contribution to perennial plants, the availability of pasture and drinking water over the above mentioned pastorals and agro pastorals areas. However, the observed wet weather condition over some areas of southern Oromiya like Dolo Mena and Kibre Mengist could have negative impact on the on going harvest and post harvest activities. Regarding air temperature, eastern Oromiya(Alemaya), some areas of the highlands of eastern Tigray (Adigrat), southern Amhara (Mehal Meda) and eastern Amhara(Wegel Tena) as well as western Amhara (Dangla), exhibited extreme minimum air temperature below 50C for two to seven consecutive days. During the first dekad of January 2005, Bega’s dry weather dominated over much of the country. This situation favored the on going post harvest activities over Meher growing areas of the country as well as southern Oromiya and southeastern and western portions of SNNPR.
