UNILAG JOINS OTHER IVORY TOWERS TO BAG GUINNESS WORLD RECORD AWARD

 * October 4, 2021
 * UNILAG Communication Unit

A study carried out by researchers from the University of Lagos in conjunction
with counterparts from other leading universities in Nigeria, has been awarded
the Guinness World Records title for the world’s largest scientific
collaboration.

The study led by University of Birmingham and Edinburgh experts involved over
140,000 (One hundred and forty thousand) patients in 116 (One hundred and
sixteen) countries.

The record for ‘‘Most authors on a single peer-reviewed academic paper’’ is now
held by the Universities of Birmingham and Edinburgh after 15,025 scientists
around the globe including researchers from the University of Lagos, contributed
to the major research which pertains to the impact of COVID-19 on surgical
patients.

Funded by the National Institute of Health Research (NIHR), the researchers
concluded that patients waiting for surgical procedures should be treated as a
vulnerable group and granted access to COVID-19 vaccines ahead of the general
population, this according to the researchers will potentially help to avoid
thousands of post-surgery deaths linked to the virus.

The researchers posit that their recommendation is particularly applicable to
countries with Low and Middle-income (LMICs) such as Nigeria and several other
African countries, where access to vaccination remains limited and mitigation
measures like nasal swab screening are not available for many patients.

The scientists among whom is Professor Adesoji Ademuyiwa from the University of
Lagos who heads the Lagos Hub of the National Institute of Health Research
(NIHR) and coordinated other researchers from Lagos State University, University
of Ibadan, University of Ilorin, Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, University
of Abuja, Nnamdi Azikiwe University, University of Port Harcourt, Aminu Kano
University among others, estimated that global prioritisation of pre-operative
vaccination for elective patients could prevent an additional 58,687
COVID-19-related deaths in one year.

Prof. Ademuyiwa who is also the NIHR Global Surgery Unit Nigeria Lead described
the research effort as part of measures to end the era of building research
silos. While advocating collaboration in medical researches to achieve greater
results within a short time, Prof. Ademuyiwa stressed the need for researchers
to focus more on building bridges rather than silos.

He said the research collaboration which won them the Guinness World Records
title has achieved a tremendous impact by giving guidance to policy makers in
care of surgical patients.

The COVIDSurg Collaborative international team of researchers published its
findings in BJS, Europe’s leading surgical journal, after studying data from
1,667 hospitals in countries including Australia, Brazil, China, India, Nigeria,
United Arab Emirate, United Kingdom and the United States of America.

Launched in March 2020, the COVIDSurg Collaborative has provided data needed to
support changes to surgical delivery in the fastest time frame ever seen by a
surgical research group.
