Previous estimates have highlighted a large global burden of stillbirths, with an absence reliable data from regions where most stillbirths occur. The Every Newborn Action Plan (ENAP) targets national stillbirth rates (SBRs) 12 or fewer per 1000 births by 2030. We estimate SBRs and numbers for 195 countries, including trends 2000 to 2015.
Previous studies have reported associations between prenatal arsenic exposure and increased risk of infant mortality. An increase in infectious diseases has been proposed as the underlying cause these associations, but there is no epidemiologic research to support hypothesis.We evaluated association pregnancy morbidity during infancy.This prospective population-based cohort study included 1,552 live-born infants women enrolled 2002-2004 Matlab, Bangladesh. Arsenic was assessed by...
Background: Millions of people worldwide are drinking water with elevated arsenic concentrations. Epidemiologic studies, mainly cross-sectional in design, have suggested that may affect pregnancy outcome and infant health. We assessed the association exposure adverse outcomes mortality a prospective cohort study pregnant women. Methods: A population-based, 2924 women was carried out during 2002–2004 Matlab, Bangladesh. Spontaneous abortion evaluated relation to urinary concentrations at...
Antenatal Care (ANC) during pregnancy can play an important role in the uptake of evidence-based services vital to health women and their infants. Studies report positive effects ANC on use facility-based delivery perinatal mortality. However, most existing studies are limited cross-sectional surveys with long recall periods, generally do not include population-based samples.This study was conducted within Health Demographic Surveillance System (HDSS) International Centre for Diarrhoeal...
<h3>Importance</h3> Worldwide, preterm birth (PTB) is the single largest cause of deaths in perinatal and neonatal period associated with increased morbidity young children. The PTB multifactorial, development generalizable biological models may enable early detection guide therapeutic studies. <h3>Objective</h3> To investigate ability transcriptomics proteomics profiling plasma metabolomics analysis urine to identify measurements PTB. <h3>Design, Setting, Participants</h3> This...
Breast cancer presents a substantial health obstacle since it is the most widespread invasive and second common cause of death in women. Prompt identification essential for effective intervention, rendering breast screening critical component healthcare. Although mammography frequently employed purposes, manual diagnosis performed by pathologists can be laborious susceptible to mistakes. Regrettably, majority research prioritizes mass classification over localization, resulting an uneven...
The interindividual variation in metabolism of inorganic arsenic (iAs), involving methylation via one-carbon metabolism, has been well documented, but the reasons remain unclear.
Objective There is dearth of information on the timeliness antenatal care (ANC) uptake. This study aimed to determine timely ANC uptake by a medically trained provider (MTP) as per World Health Organization (WHO) recommendations and country guideline. Methods Cross-sectional survey was done with 2,731 women having livebirth outcome in last one year Dinajpur, Nilphamari Rajshahi districts, Bangladesh from August-November,2016. Results About 82%(2,232) received at least MTP. Overall,...
Introduction Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is a leading cause of acute viral hepatitis in the developing world and public health problem, particular among pregnant women, where it may lead to severe or fatal complications. A recombinant HEV vaccine, 239 (Hecolin; Xiamen Innovax Biotech, Xiamen, China), licensed China, but WHO calls for further studies evaluate safety immunogenicity this vaccine vulnerable populations, protection pregnancy. We are therefore conducting phase IV trial assess...
Preterm birth (PTB) is the leading cause of death in children under five, yet comprehensive studies are hindered by its multiple complex etiologies. Epidemiological associations between PTB and maternal characteristics have been previously described. This work used multiomic profiling multivariate modeling to investigate biological signatures these characteristics. Maternal covariates were collected during pregnancy from 13,841 pregnant women across five sites. Plasma samples 231...
Although sustainable development goals mandate for quality early childhood (ECD) interventions children <8 years, little occurs <3 especially in urban settings low-and-middle-income countries (LMICs). Our primary objective was to measure the effect of an ECD-focused parenting and nutrition education on children's through home visits using a social safety net platform Bangladesh.
BackgroundTo devise treatment strategies for neonatal infections, the population-level incidence and antibiotic susceptibility of pathogens must be defined
The gap between what is known and practiced results in health service users not benefitting from advances healthcare, unnecessary costs. A supportive context considered a key element for successful implementation of evidence-based practices (EBP). There were no tools available the systematic mapping aspects organizational influencing EBPs low- middle-income countries (LMICs). Thus, this project aimed to develop psychometrically validate tool purpose.The development Context Assessment...
Background Few studies in low-income settings analyse linear growth trajectories from foetal life to pre-adolescence. The aim of this study is describe and stunting birth 10 years rural Bangladesh whether maternal environmental determinants at conception are associated with throughout childhood years. Methods Findings Pregnant women participating the MINIMat trial were identified early pregnancy a cohort (n = 1054) was followed 19 measurements Analyses baseline predictors mean height-for-age...
Preterm birth is the major cause of under-five mortality. Population-based data on determinants and proportions children born preterm are limited, especially from low-income countries. This study aimed at assessing time trends social, reproductive environmental births based a population-based pregnancy cohort over 25 years in rural Bangladesh.In this Matlab, area Bangladesh, we used Health Demographic Surveillance System 1990 to 2014. Gestational age was reported last menstrual period...
In the aftermath of nutrition transition and ever-increasing sedentarism, adolescents globally are exposed to negative health consequences. Diverse sociocultural influences play a critical role in their adoption unhealthy dietary practices suboptimal physical activity behaviors. Context-specific understandings how these shape adolescents’ patterns rural, resource-limited setting remained elusive. Aiming address gap, this qualitative study explored mothers’ perception broader aspects that...
Background Strengthening the antenatal care programme is suggested as one of public health strategies to reduce preterm birth burden at a population level. However, evidence so far available inconclusive. Objectives To evaluate association between (ANC) visit and birth; also explore what extent increased usage ANC after initiation Maternal, Neonatal Child Health (MNCH) project in Matlab, Bangladesh, contributed reduction birth. Setting This population-based cohort study was conducted...
Timely utilization of antenatal care and delivery services supports the health mothers babies. Few studies exist on determinants timely ANC use different types facilities at community level in Bangladesh. This study aims to assess utilization, timeliness of, socio-demographic two sub-districts Bangladesh.This cross-sectional used data collected through a structured questionnaire eRegMat cluster-randomized controlled trial, which enrolled pregnant women between October 2018-June 2020.

Introduction Studies of gestational weight gain (GWG) and adverse pregnancy outcomes seldom focus on low-to-middle-income countries (LMICs), despite their high burden morbidity mortality. We examined GWG patterns in a consortium cohorts from LMICs. Methods analysed data five observational Bangladesh (two cohorts), India, Pakistan Zambia. The study population comprised 15 286 singleton pregnancies with two or more maternal antenatal measurements. estimated reference values for using...
