Objectives To study the trend in prevalence of anaemia and low BMI among pregnant women from Eastern Maharashtra evaluate if affect pregnancy outcomes. Design Prospective observational cohort study. Setting Catchment areas 20 rural primary health centres four eastern districts State, India. Participants 72 750 Nagpur site Maternal Newborn Health Registry NIH’s Global Network, enrolled 2009 to 2016. Main outcome measures Mode delivery, related complications at stillbirths, neonatal deaths...
Scientific paper authorship is an important academic achievement for all research professionals. Being designated as author of a has academic, research, social and financial implications. Signing manuscript does confer credit but also transfers responsibility. While authors get the published work, they must accept public responsibility that goes with it. Over past few years, there been rising trend in abuses. The prevalent culture "publish or perish" appears to be responsible this. In...
India has a higher number of deaths due to acute lower respiratory infections (ALRIs) in children <5 years than any other country. The underlying cause half ALRI is household air pollution from burning solid fuels, according the World Health Organization. If there direct association between duration exposure and increased risk, potential strategy might be limit child's fuel.Children born pregnant women participating Global Network for Women Children's Maternal Newborn Registry near Nagpur,...
In 2008, the Indian government introduced financial assistance to encourage health facility deliveries. Facility births have increased, but maternal and neonatal morbidity mortality not decreased raising questions about quality of care provided in facilities access a referral system. We evaluated potential role inter-institutional transfers women admitted for labor delivery on adverse outcomes an ongoing prospective, population-based Maternal Newborn Health Registry Central India. Pregnant...
Possible serious bacterial infection (PBSI) is a major cause of neonatal mortality worldwide. We studied risk factors for PSBI in large rural population central India where facility deliveries have increased as result government financial assistance program.We 37,379 pregnant women and their singleton live born infants with birth weight ≥ 1.5 kg from 20 primary health centers around Nagpur, India, using data the 2010-13 population-based Maternal Newborn Health Registry supported by NICHD's...
The World Health Organization identifies pregnant women as at high-risk for severe influenza, but influenza vaccines are underutilized among women. Data on burden during pregnancy largely limited to high-income countries and data the impact of birth perinatal outcomes scarce. This prospective, longitudinal cohort study in middle-income is designed address three primary objectives: 1) evaluate effect laboratory-confirmed outcomes; 2) estimate incidences all-cause acute respiratory illness...
Introduction: We evaluated knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) related to influenza vaccination among pregnant women in three selected countries.Methods: During 2017, seeking antenatal care at hospitals participating sites were enrolled. described characteristics responses KAP questions. also predictors associated with during pregnancy substantial vaccine uptake by multivariable logistic regression.Results: Overall, 4,648 completed the survey. There differences survey populations; only...
The Helping Babies Breathe (HBB) educational program focuses on training of first-level birth attendants in neonatal resuscitation skills for the first minute life (The Golden Minute). Pre-post studies HBB implementation sub-Saharan Africa and Asia have shown reductions facility-based very early mortality stillbirth rates. However, Global Network pre-post Implementation Study (GN-HBB-IS) found no difference day 7 perinatal rates (PMR-D7) among births to women participating Network's Maternal...
Presently, preterm birth is globally the leading cause of neonatal mortality. Prompt community based identification women at high risk for births (HRPB) can either help to avert or avail effective interventions reduce mortality due births. We evaluated performance a package train workers detect presence signs symptoms HRPB. Pregnant enrolled in intervention arm cluster randomized trial Antenatal Corticosteroids (ACT Trial) conducted Nagpur, India were informed about 4 directly observable and...
Our objective was to describe trends in caesarean section (CS) rates, characteristics of women delivering by CS, reasons for CS and impact on perinatal mortality, a rural Indian population.Secondary data analysis using prospective population-based registry.Four districts Eastern Maharashtra, India, 2010 2013.39 026 pregnant undergoing labour delivery.CS, single most likely reason, mortality.Overall, 20% the delivered CS. Rates increased from 17.4% 22.7% 2013 (p<0.001) with an absolute risk...
Background In low resource settings recall of the date mother’s last menstrual period may be unreliable and due to limited availability prenatal ultrasound, gestational age newborns not assessed reliably. Preterm babies are at high risk morbidity mortality so an alternative strategy is identify them soon after birth needed for early referral management. Objective The objective this study was assess accuracy in assessing prematurity newborn, over above birthweight, using a pictorial...
Although rates of preterm birth continue to increase globally, identification from low weight infants remains a challenge. The burden vs is greatest in resource-limited settings, where gestational age (GA) prior delivery frequently not known because ultrasound early pregnancy available and estimates the date mother's last menstrual period (LMP) may be reliable. An alternative option assess GA at optimize referral care newborns. We previously developed pilot-tested system measure simplified...
The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends case definitions for influenza surveillance that are also used in public health research, although their performance has not been assessed many risk groups, including pregnant women whom may manifest differently. We evaluated the of symptom-based to detect a cohort India, Peru, and Thailand.
Abstract Background The World Health Organization recommends influenza vaccination for pregnant women. However, few data exist on incidence and clinical course among women in middle-income countries where vaccine use during pregnancy is often limited. We conducted a prospective cohort study of to estimate incidences Lima, Peru; Bangkok, Thailand; Nagpur, India. Methods Prior early the 2017 2018 seasons, we enrolled aged > 18 years with expected delivery dates 8 weeks after start season....
Introduction The world's biggest industrial disaster, the 1984 methyl isocyanate leakage in Bhopal, India, led to death of about 2000 people within 72 hours. Exposure toxic gases resulted morbidities survivors, especially affecting respiratory system. objective this study was assess temporal trend gas-exposed survivors Bhopal and its relationship with grades exposure. Methods A long-term follow-up epidemiological launched 1985 covering a cohort 80,021 15,931 unexposed subjects. Both cohorts...
