STATISTICAL ANALYSIS OF BIRTH REGISTRATION BY LGA AND DISEASE SURVELLIANCE BY GENDER IN KANO STATE (2017-2021).
Abstract
Abstract
This research examined birth registration and disease surveillance patterns in Kano State from
2017 to 2021. The study aimed to examine the dependencies that exist in birth registration
across all 44 Local Government Areas (LGAs), compare disease occurrences between males
and females, and provide recommendations to improve public health services. Data were
collected from the State Bureau of Statistics and analyzed using Chi-Square Test and Two-Way
ANOVA. The Chi-Square test revealed a statistically significant relationship between gender
and LGA in birth registration, indicating uneven distribution across locations. The Two-Way
ANOVA results showed that disease type and year had significant effects on reported disease
cases, while gender did not. The findings suggest the need for location-specific strategies in
birth registration and greater attention to disease trends over time. Recommendations were
provided to improve data monitoring, gender inclusiveness, and healthcare delivery in the state.
