1.0 INTRODUCTION
In Nigeria there is a strong social emphasis on
fertility and tradition of a son preference male and female are produced in
approximately equal number in most species with separate sexes regardless of
the mechanism of sex determination in
humans female is homogametic (X X) while male is heterogametic (X Y). The sex
ratio of man is expected to be more or less equal because of the 1:1
segregation of X and Y-chromosomes in the male (2) in 2004 males accounted for
50.4% of the male (2) in 2004, males accounted for 50.4%of the global total (3)
in the absence of manipulation, human, human secondary sex ratio is commonly
assumed to be 105-107 male births for every 1000 female birth however, sex
ratios at birth or among infant man be considerably skewed by sex selective
abortion and infanticide even in the absence of such practices, a range sex ratios at birth of between 103 to 107
boys per 100 girls has been observed in
different societies and among different clinic and racial groups within a given
society, through more extreme ratios
documented in some population should be attributed rather more to cultural
preferences than to biological vibration in the propensity to bear boys or
girls.
1:1Background of the
study
The
hospital was established in 1972 as Dutse comprehensive health center (C.H.C)
by old Kano state the C.H.C was established on 8 August 1986 and then converted
to Dutse general hospital, commissioned by the military governor of Kano state,
late AVM Hamza Abdullah FSSPSC. Dutse general hospital is located in Dutse
metropolitan along Kiyawa road Dutse it
cover an area of 500m x 800m and is
currently. A 200 bed capacity secondary health facility serving as a referral
center for all PHCS in Dutse and kiyawa local government area. It also provides
for other neighboring settlements in Kano and Bauchi state. Thus the hospital
centered for health care access of 58,581.total catchment population consisting
of 2.343 under 1year children, 11.716 children less than 5 year 2929 pregnant
women and 12888 women of child bearing age.
The
general hospital is made up of 71 nurses, 24 J.CHCW, 17 CHCW, 9.CA,
12.Midwives,3 Combew,5 Health information technicians,4 health information
officers, 6.pharmacist,10 pharmacy technicians,2 radiologist 4 X-ray
technicians, 3 physiotherapist, 6 laboratory scientist, 12 medical technicians,
8 medical laboratory assistant, 1 dentist 1 dental therapist 3 environmental
officers, 10 medical Doctors 103 health attendants and 116 casual staff in
including NYSC members
In
2006, it was reported in the dutse general hospital of the Nigeria population
commission that out of every thousand giving birth in Nigeria the greater
percentage of these birth are the female gender. Also in the pamphlet published
in 2006 by the federal ministry of health, out of every birth in Nigeria, sixty
five (65) percent are,female.
Therefore the main reason of undertaking this study is to investigate if
there is significance difference between the male and female live birth in
DutseGeneral Hospital.
1.3
Aim
and OObjectives
The
aim and objectives of this project work are as follows
•To
analyze quarterly variation number of children in the hospital during the period of the study.
·
To fit quarterly tend model that would be
used to determine the period of the year that more delivery occur.
·
To investigate if there exist any
significance difference in the number of children delivered within the years
1.4 Scope of the study
The
scope of this study will be limited only on sex ratio at birth from 2013 to
2018 in Dutse General Hospital, jigawa state.
1.5 Significance of the study
The
significance of this study is to study the fluctuation in sex ratio at birth as
an implication on the demographic situation of the community and also to
examine the fertility level using appropriate statistical techniques so as to
be able to determine and estimate the number of babies delivered yearly.
1.6 Research hypothesis
Ho: There is no significant difference in
the quarterly delivery of babies
H1:
There is significant difference in the quarterly delivery of the babies
