Progress in reducing maternal and neonatal deaths stillbirths is impeded by data gaps, especially regarding coverage quality of care hospitals. We aimed to assess the validity indicators newborn health-care around time birth survey routine facility register data.Every Newborn-BIRTH Indicators Research Tracking Hospitals was an observational study five hospitals Bangladesh, Nepal, Tanzania. included women their babies who consented on admission hospital. Exclusion critiera at were no fetal...
Kangaroo mother care (KMC) reduces mortality among stable neonates ≤2000 g. Lack of data tracking coverage and quality KMC in both surveys routine information systems impedes scale-up. This paper evaluates measurement as part the Every Newborn Birth Indicators Research Tracking Hospitals (EN-BIRTH) study.
Abstract Background Accurate birthweight is critical to inform clinical care at the individual level and tracking progress towards national/global targets population level. Low (LBW) < 2500 g affects over 20.5 million newborns annually. However, data are lacking may be affected by heaping. This paper evaluates measurement within Every Newborn Birth Indicators Research Tracking in Hospitals (EN-BIRTH) study. Methods The EN-BIRTH study took place five hospitals Bangladesh, Nepal Tanzania...
Abstract Background Immediate newborn care (INC) practices, notably early initiation of breastfeeding (EIBF), are fundamental for health. However, coverage tracking currently relies on household survey data in many settings. “ Every Newborn Birth Indicators Research Tracking Hospitals” (EN-BIRTH) was an observational study validating selected maternal and health indicators. This paper reports results EIBF. Methods The EN-BIRTH conducted five public hospitals Bangladesh, Nepal, Tanzania, from...
Abstract Background Annually, 14 million newborns require stimulation to initiate breathing at birth and 6 bag-mask-ventilation (BMV). Many countries have invested in facility-based neonatal resuscitation equipment training. However, there is no consistent tracking for coverage. Methods The EN-BIRTH study, five hospitals Bangladesh, Nepal, Tanzania (2017–2018), collected time-stamped data care around birth, including resuscitation. Researchers surveyed women extracted from routine labour...
Abstract Background An estimated >2 million babies stillborn around the world each year lack visibility. Low- and middle-income countries carry 84% of burden yet have least data. Most births are now in facilities, hence routine register-recording presents an opportunity to improve counting stillbirths, but research is limited, particularly regarding accuracy. This paper evaluates register-recorded measurement hospital classification accuracy, barriers enablers recording. Methods The...
Abstract Background An estimated 30 million neonates require inpatient care annually, many with life-threatening infections. Appropriate antibiotic management is crucial, yet there no routine measurement of coverage. The Every Newborn Birth Indicators Research Tracking in Hospitals (EN-BIRTH) study aimed to validate maternal and newborn indicators inform coverage quality care. This paper reports validation reported by exit survey mothers for hospitalized newborns clinically-defined...
Different types of community-based intervention activities may have differential effects in improving the intrinsic capacity (IC) older people. This study aims to (i) identify subgroups people based on their IC impairments, (ii) examine associations between different activity participations and change across subgroups, (iii) assess whether participation patterns align with way that would benefit them most. Participants were community-dwelling aged 60 years or above. They screened for...
Observation of care at birth is challenging with multiple, rapid and potentially concurrent events occurring for mother, newborn placenta. Design electronic data (E-data) collection needs to account these challenges. The Every Newborn Birth Indicators Research Tracking in Hospitals (EN-BIRTH) was an observational study assess measurement indicators priority maternal interventions took place five hospitals Bangladesh, Nepal Tanzania (July 2017-July 2018). E-data tools were required capture...
Abstract Background Birth registration marks a child’s right to identity and is the first step establishing citizenship access services. At population level, birth data can inform effective programming planning. In Tanzania, almost two-thirds of births are in health facilities, yet only 26% children under 5 years have their registered. Our mixed-methods research explores gap between hospital Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. Methods The study was conducted two Tanzanian sites Every Newborn -Birth...
An estimated 7 million episodes of severe newborn infections occur annually worldwide, with half a deaths, most occurring in low- and middle-income countries. Whilst injectable antibiotics are necessary to treat the infection, supportive care is also crucial ending preventable mortality morbidity. This study uses multi-country data assess gaps coverage, quality, documentation care, considering implications for measurement.The EN-BIRTH was conducted five hospitals Bangladesh, Nepal, Tanzania...
Recruitment, the entry of new individuals into a population, was investigated by clearing experiment along shore A Ma Wan (AMW) in Ping Chau, Hong Kong SAR, China. Two types clearing, with all existing vegetation removed (cleared) and top 2 to three mm rock surface (hammered), were carried out monthly AMW from November 1997 June 1999. Observations made one month after on basis thereafter. The number algal species present cleared areas their percentage cover recorded. experimental results...
