Targeted client communication (TCC) using text messages can inform, motivate and remind pregnant postpartum women of timely utilization care. The mixed results the effectiveness TCC interventions points to importance theory based that are co-design with users. aim this paper is describe planning, development, evaluation a led intervention, tailored automated from Palestinian electronic maternal child health registry.
Unexplained antepartum stillbirth is a common cause of perinatal death, and identifying the fetus at risk challenge for obstetric practice. Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) associated with variety adverse outcomes, but reports on its impact unexplained stillbirths by population-based birthweight standards have been varying, including both unexplored stillbirths.We studied IUGR, assessed individually adjusted fetal weight standards, in deaths that remained despite thorough postmortem...
Women experiencing decreased fetal movements (DFM) are at increased risk of adverse outcomes, including stillbirth. Fourteen delivery units in Norway registered all cases DFM a population-based quality assessment. We found that information to women and management varied significantly between hospitals. intended examine two cohorts with before during consensus-based interventions aiming improve care through: 1) written about activity DFM, an invitation monitor movements, 2) guidelines for...
Audit and classification of stillbirths is an essential part clinical practice a crucial step towards stillbirth prevention. Due to the limitations ICD system lack international approach acceptable solution, numerous disparate systems have emerged. We assessed performance six contemporary inform development internationally accepted approach. evaluated following systems: Amended Aberdeen, Extended Wigglesworth; PSANZ-PDC, ReCoDe, Tulip CODAC. Nine teams from 7 countries applied cohorts their...
2·6 million pregnancies were estimated to have ended in stillbirth 2015. The aim of the AFFIRM study was test hypothesis that introduction a reduced fetal movement (RFM), care package for pregnant women and clinicians increased women's awareness need prompt reporting RFM standardised management, including timely delivery, would alter incidence stillbirth.This stepped wedge, cluster-randomised trial done UK Ireland. Participating maternity hospitals grouped randomised, using...
ObjectiveVerbal autopsy (VA) is a systematic approach for determining causes of death (CoD) in populations without routine medical certification. It has mainly been used research contexts and involved relatively lengthy interviews. Our objective here to describe the process shorten, simplify, standardise VA make it feasible application on larger scale such as civil registration vital statistics (CRVS) systems.MethodsA literature review existing instruments was undertaken. The World Health...
Background Maternal perception of reduced fetal movement (RFM) is associated with increased risk stillbirth and growth restriction (FGR). RFM thought to represent compensation conserve energy due insufficient oxygen nutrient transfer resulting from placental insufficiency. Objective To identify predictors poor perinatal outcome after maternal movements (RFM). Design Prospective cohort study. Methods 305 women presenting 28 weeks gestation were recruited. Demographic factors clinical history...
A carefully classified dataset of perinatal mortality will retain the most significant information on causes death. Such is needed for health care policy development, surveillance and international comparisons, clinical services research. For comparability purposes, we propose a classification system that could serve all these needs, be applicable in both developing developed countries. It to adhere basic concepts underlying cause International Classification Diseases (ICD), although gaps...
While most births result in a live baby, stillbirth (the birth of dead baby) occurs nearly 1 110 pregnancies. This study examined whether levels maternal anxiety and depression are lower amongst mothers who received social support after stillbirth. Using non-probability sampling, data were collected from 769 residing within the USA experienced past 18 months for whom we have complete data. The Maternal Observations Memories Stillbirth website http://www.momstudy.com containing questionnaire...
Abstract: Background: Some guidelines encourage mothers to see and hold their babies after stillbirth, which might be traumatizing. The study objective was investigate the effects of women seeing holding stillborn baby on risk anxiety depression in a subsequent pregnancy long term. Methods: Thirty‐seven organizations recruited who had experienced stillbirth ( N = 2,292 whom 286 reported being pregnant). Anxiety depressive symptoms were assessed by using 25‐item Hopkins Symptom Check List....
Stillbirths need to count. They constitute the majority of world's perinatal deaths and yet, they are largely invisible. Simply counting stillbirths is only first step in analysis prevention. From a public health perspective, there for information on timing circumstances death, associated conditions underlying causes, availability quality care. This will guide efforts prevent improve In this report, we assess how different definitions limits registration affect data capture, discuss specific...
Stillbirth rates have decreased radically over the last decades. One reason for this is improved perinatal care. The aim of study was to explore whether sub-optimal factors in stillbirths were more frequent among non-western than western women.Population-based audit 356 after gestational week 23, 2 Norwegian counties during 1998-2003 (4.2 per 1,000 deliveries); these 31% born women. By audit, attributed optimal or care factors. Multivariate methods used analyse data.Sub-optimal identified...
Abstract Objective. ‘Normal’ fetal activity is recognized as a sign of well‐being and concerns for decreased movements frequent cause non‐scheduled antenatal visits.

Setting. Fourteen delivery units Norway. Population. A 2,374 pregnancies with perception 614 control/referent cases. Methods. All...
