The safety and efficacy of antenatal glucocorticoids in women low-resource countries who are at risk for preterm birth uncertain.
Karnataka State continues to have the highest rates of maternal mortality in south India at 144/100,000 live births, but lower than national estimates 190-220/100,000 births. Various barriers exist timely and appropriate utilization services during pregnancy, childbirth postpartum. This study aimed describe patterns determinants routine emergency health care rural State, India.This was conducted 2012-2013. Purposive sampling used convene twenty three focus groups twelve individual interviews...
Between 1990 and 2016 the number of adolescents with anemia world-wide increased by 20% to almost one in four. Iron deficiency adolescence results compromised growth, decreased cognitive function, depressed immune can increase risk negative outcomes pregnancy, especially case young adolescents. In India, despite several decades governmental investment prevention treatment, more than half women reproductive age are anemic, rates even higher adolescent population. Although awareness as a...
Pregnancy hypertension is associated with 7.1% of maternal deaths in India. The objective this trial was to assess whether task-sharing care might reduce adverse pregnancy outcomes related delays triage, transport, and treatment. Indian Community-Level Interventions for Pre-eclampsia (CLIP) open-label cluster randomised controlled (NCT01911494) recruited pregnant women 12 clusters (initial four-cluster internal pilot) Belagavi Bagalkote, Karnataka. CLIP intervention (6 clusters) consisted...
Abstract Background Travel time to care is known influence uptake of health services. Generally, pregnant women who take longer transit facilities are the least likely deliver in facilities. It not clear if modelled access predicts fairly vulnerability seeking maternal across different spatial settings. Objectives This cross-sectional analysis aimed (i) compare travel times as a GIS environment with self-reported by Community Level Interventions for Pre-eclampsia: Mozambique, India and...
Objective To determine whether oral clindamycin reduces the risk of preterm birth (PTB) in women with abnormal vaginal microflora as evidenced by a pH ≥5.0. Design Randomised double‐blind placebo‐controlled trial. Setting Rural southern India. Population Pregnant singleton fetus between 13 +0/7 weeks and 20 +6/7 weeks. Methods were recruited during prenatal visits Karnataka, India, from October 2013 to July 2015. Women required have an elevated (≥5.0) colorimetric assessment. Participants...
Maternal deaths have been attributed in large part to delays recognition of illness, timely transport facility, and treatment once there. As community perceptions pregnancy their complications are critical averting maternal morbidity mortality, this study sought contribute the literature explore community-based understandings pre-eclampsia eclampsia. The was conducted rural Karnataka State, India, 2012–2013. Fourteen focus groups were held with following stakeholders: three leaders (n = 27),...
In India, the hypertensive disorders of pregnancy and postpartum haemorrhage are responsible for nearly 40 % all maternal deaths. Most these deaths occur in primary health settings which frequently lack essential equipment medication, understaffed, have limited or no access to specialist care. Community care workers regarded as providers basic maternity care; quality they provide is dependent on level knowledge skills possess. However, there research regarding their ability manage...
BackgroundIncomplete vital registration systems mean that causes of death during pregnancy and childbirth are poorly understood in low-income middle-income countries. To inform global efforts to reduce maternal mortality, we compared physician review computerised analysis verbal autopsies (interpreting [InterVA] software), understand their agreement on cause circumstances mortality categories (COMCATs) the Community-Level Interventions for Pre-eclampsia (CLIP) cluster randomised...
Pre-eclampsia is a leading cause of maternal and perinatal mortality. Evidence regarding interventions in low-income or middle-income setting scarce. We aimed to evaluate whether planned delivery between 34+ 0 36+ 6 weeks' gestation can reduce mortality morbidity without increasing complications India Zambia.In this parallel-group, multicentre, open-label, randomised controlled trial, we compared versus expectant management women with pre-eclampsia from gestation. Participants were recruited...
Background . A Nugent score > 7 has been defined as the gold standard for diagnosis bacterial vaginosis (BV), though it is resource intensive and impractical point of care testing. We sought to determine if colorimetric assessment vaginal pH can accurately predict occurrence BV. Methods performed a planned subanalysis 1,216 pregnant women between 13 0/7 19 6/7 weeks who underwent examination part randomized controlled trial. Using standardized technique, specimens were obtained two...
Blood pressure measurement is a marker of antenatal care quality. In well resourced settings, lower blood cutoffs for hypertension are associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes. We aimed to study the associations between thresholds and outcomes diagnostic test properties these in low-resource settings.We did secondary analysis data from 22 intervention clusters Community-Level Interventions Pre-eclampsia (CLIP) cluster randomised trials (NCT01911494) India (n=6), Mozambique Pakistan (n=10)....
Existing vital health statistics registries in India have been unable to provide reliable estimates of maternal and newborn mortality morbidity, region-specific are essential the planning monitoring interventions. This study was designed assess baseline rates as precursor a community-based cluster randomized control trial (cRCT)–Community Level Interventions for Pre-eclampsia (CLIP) Trial (NCT01911494; CTRI/2014/01/004352). The objective describe demographics outcomes prior initiation CLIP...
Hypertensive disorders are the second highest direct obstetric cause of maternal death after haemorrhage, accounting for 14% deaths globally. Pregnancy hypertension contributes to deaths, particularly in low- and middle-income countries, due a scarcity doctors providing evidence-based emergency care. Task-sharing some responsibilities may help reduce mortality rates. This study was conducted assess acceptability by community other healthcare providers, task-sharing health workers (CHW)...
Abstract Background Iron-deficiency anemia is a known risk factor for several adverse perinatal outcomes, but data on its impact specific maternal morbidities less robust. Further, information associations between in early pregnancy and subsequent outcomes are understudied. Methods The study population was derived from the Community Level Interventions Pre-eclampsia (CLIP) trial Karnataka State, India (NCT01911494). Included were women who enrolled either arm, delivered by end date, had...
Introduction: PIERS on the Move (POM) is a mobile health (mHealth) application developed for smartphone to support community workers (CHWs) identification and management of women at risk adverse outcomes from pre-eclampsia. POM was implemented as an addition routine antenatal care by accredited social activists (ASHAs) auxiliary nurse midwives (ANMs) during level intervention pre-eclampsia (CLIP) Trial in Karnataka state, India (NCT01911494). The objective this study evaluate experiences...
To understand the extent to which adolescent awareness about anaemia and prevention can be changed by nutrition messages received at school.Mixed-methods pre-post intervention study.Three government schools in Bagalkot, Belagavi Raichur districts of Karnataka, India.Students grade six seven teachers involved implementing intervention.An educational was co-developed school experts using locally adapted resource materials that consisted lectures, role play practical demonstrations. Seven...
Obstetric haemorrhage continues to be a leading cause of maternal mortality, contributing more than quarter the 2,443,000 deaths reported between 2003 and 2009. During this period, about 70% haemorrhagic occurred postpartum. In addition other identifiable risk factors for greater postpartum blood loss, duration third stage labour (TSL) seems important, as literature shows that longer TSL can associated with loss. To better describe association loss in women receiving active management...
(Lancet. 2015;385(9968):629–639) Administration of antenatal corticosteroids (ACTs) is one the most effective interventions to reduce neonatal mortality premature infants, and strongly recommended by national international health organizations. However, treatment with ACTs often limited in low-income countries, all current evidence showing a reduction ACT therapy comes solely from clinical trials done hospitals where intensive care available.
