Of the 3.7 million neonatal deaths and 3.3 stillbirths each year, 98% occur in developing countries. An evaluation of community-based interventions designed to reduce number these is needed.With use a train-the-trainer model, local instructors trained birth attendants from rural communities six countries (Argentina, Democratic Republic Congo, Guatemala, India, Pakistan, Zambia) World Health Organization Essential Newborn Care course (which focuses on routine care, resuscitation,...
Adolescent girls between 15 and 19 years give birth to around 16 million babies each year, 11% of births worldwide.

Objectives. We assessed associations between psychosocial factors and preterm birth, stratified by race in a prospective cohort study. Methods. surveyed 1898 women who used university public health prenatal clinics regarding various factors. Results. African Americans were at higher risk of birth if they distancing from problems as coping mechanism or reported racial discrimination. Whites had high counts negative life events not living with partner. The association pregnancy-related anxiety...
In Brief OBJECTIVE: Available maternal mortality statistics do not allow valid international comparisons. Our objective was to uniformly measure underreporting of from pregnancy in official selected regions within the U.S. and Europe, provide comparable revised profiles pregnancy-related mortality. METHODS: We developed a standardized enhanced method identify classify pregnancy-associated deaths 2 states, Massachusetts North Carolina, European countries, Finland France, for years 1999–2000....
Objective To quantify maternal, fetal and neonatal mortality in low-and middle-income countries, to identify when deaths occur relationships between maternal stillbirths deaths.Methods A prospective study of pregnancy outcomes was performed 106 communities at seven sites Argentina, Guatemala, India, Kenya, Pakistan Zambia.Pregnant women were enrolled followed until six weeks postpartum.Findings Between 2010 2012, 214 070 220 235 (97.2%) completed follow-up.The ratio 168 per 100 000 live...
Intimate partner violence (IPV) has been associated with stress, but few studies have examined the effect of natural disaster on IPV. In this study, authors examine relationship between experience Hurricane Katrina and reported aggression in a cohort 123 postpartum women. is measured using series questions about damage, injury, danger during storm; IPV was Conflict Tactics Scale (CTS-2). Multiple log-poisson regression used to calculate relative risks (RRs), adjusted for potential...
Mobile health (mHealth) is emerging as a useful tool to improve healthcare access especially in the developing world, where limited services linked poor antenatal care, and maternal perinatal mortality. The objective of this study 1) understand pregnant women's usage cell phones 2) survey information needs interests population attending public hospitals centers two cities Argentina. This not available it basis develop strategy for improving care via phones. Questionnaires were verbally...
Stillbirth rates remain nearly ten times higher in low-middle income countries (LMIC) than high countries. In LMIC, where 98% of stillbirths worldwide occur, few population-based studies have documented characteristics or care for mothers with stillbirths. Non-macerated stillbirths, those occurring around delivery, are generally considered preventable appropriate obstetric care. We undertook a prospective, observational study all pregnant women defined geographic areas across 7 sites...
A worldwide public health response has been engaged to address the impact of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. The almost exclusive emphasis on high-risk populations, including older people and with serious underlying medical conditions, could obscure specific risks needs other susceptible populations. Pregnant women are currently not recognised as a population at increased risk; however, they might still be vulnerable for only but also social risks. Additionally, prenatal...
