More than 500 000 neonatal deaths per year result from possible serious bacterial infections (pSBIs), but the causes are largely unknown. We investigated incidence of community-acquired caused by specific organisms among neonates in south Asia.From 2011 to 2014, we identified babies through population-based pregnancy surveillance at five sites Bangladesh, India, and Pakistan. Babies were visited home community health workers up ten times age 0 59 days. Illness meeting WHO definition pSBI...
90% of the global burden injuries is borne by low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs). However, details injury in LMICs are less clear because scarcity data population-based studies. The Saving Lives from Drowning project, implemented rural Bangladesh, did a census on 1·2 million people to fill this gap. This Article describes epidemiology fatal non-fatal study.In study, we used baseline conducted as part (SoLiD) project. was 51 unions seven purposively sampled subdistricts Bangladesh...
Sepsis is dysregulated systemic inflammatory response which can lead to tissue damage, organ failure, and death. With an estimated 30 million cases per year, it a global public health concern. Severe infections leading sepsis account for more than half of all under five deaths around one quarter neonatal annually. Most these occur in low middle income countries could be averted by rapid assessment appropriate treatment. Evidence suggests that service provision quality care pertaining...
Abstract Health and demographic surveillance systems (HDSSs) provide a foundation for characterizing defining priorities strategies improving population health. The Child Mortality Prevention Surveillance (CHAMPS) project aims to inform policy prevent child deaths through generating causes of death from data combined with innovative diagnostic laboratory methods. Six the 7 sites that constitute CHAMPS network have active HDSSs: Mozambique, Mali, Ethiopia, Kenya, Bangladesh, South Africa;...
Over one-quarter of deaths among 1–4 year-olds in Bangladesh were due to drowning 2003, and the proportion increased 42% 2011. This study describes current burden risk factors for across all demographics rural Bangladesh. A household survey was carried out 51 union parishads between June November 2013, covering 1.17 million individuals. Information on fatal nonfatal events collected by face-to-face interviews using a structured questionnaire. Fatal non-fatal rates 15.8/100,000/year...
To achieve Sustainable Development Goals and Universal Health Coverage, programmatic data are essential. The Every Newborn Action Plan, agreed by all United Nations member states >80 development partners, includes an ambitious Measurement Improvement Roadmap. Quality of care at birth is prioritised both Ending Preventable Maternal Mortality strategies, hence metrics need to advance from health service contact alone, content care. As facility births increase, monitoring using routine in DHIS2...
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...
In Bangladesh, neonatal sepsis is the cause of 24% deaths, over 65% which occur in early-newborn stage (0-6 days). Only 50% newborns Bangladesh initiated breastfeeding within 1 hour birth. The mechanism by early initiation reduces deaths unclear, although most likely pathway decreasing severe illnesses leading to sepsis. This study explores effect time on newborn danger signs and illness.We used data from a community-based trial we enrolled pregnant women 2013 through 2015 covering 30,646...
Background Serious infections account for 25% of global newborn deaths annually, most in low-resource settings where hospital-based treatment is not accessible or feasible. In Bangladesh, one-third neonatal are attributable to serious infection; 2014, the government adopted new policy outpatient management danger signs indicating possible bacterial (PSBI) when referral was possible. We conducted implementation research understand what it takes a district health team implement quality PSBI...
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 Countries with the highest burden of maternal and newborn deaths stillbirths often have little information on these deaths. Since over 81% births worldwide now occur in facilities, using routine facility data could reduce this gap. We assessed availability, quality, utility labour delivery ward register five hospitals Bangladesh, Nepal, Tanzania. This paper forms baseline assessment for Every Newborn -Birth Indicators Research Tracking Hospitals (EN-BIRTH) study. Methods...

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...
This paper presents the effect of early phase COVID-19 on coverage essential maternal and newborn health (MNH) services in a rural subdistrict Bangladesh. Cross-sectional household survey with random sampling. Baliakandi subdistrict, Rajbari district, Data were collected from women who third trimester pregnancy during pandemic (111) pre-pandemic periods (115) to measure antenatal care (ANC) service coverage. To birth, postnatal (PNC) (ENC), data had history delivery (163) (166). Early...
Non-fatal injuries have a significant impact on disability, productivity, and economic cost, first-aid can play an important role in improving non-fatal injury outcomes. Data collected from census conducted as part of drowning prevention project Bangladesh was used to quantify the provided by trained untrained providers injuries. The covered approximately 1.2 million people 7 sub-districts Bangladesh. Around 10% individuals reported event six-month recall period. most common were falls (39%)...
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...
BackgroundGlobally, neonatal mortality accounts for almost half of all deaths in children younger than 5 years. Aetiological agents infection are difficult to identify because the clinical signs non-specific.

Data are limited regarding long-term consequences of invasive GBS (iGBS) disease in early infancy, especially from low- and middle-income countries (LMIC) where most cases occur. We aimed to estimate risk neurodevelopmental impairment (NDI) children with a history iGBS disease.
Decision-making in choosing and using maternal health care among different care-seeking options is a complex process influenced by multilevel factors. Existing evidence on behaviour stems primarily from cross-sectional studies with limited information. Therefore, we designed cohort study to better understand the decision-making antenatal (ANC) seeking.
