Background Perinatal mortality and morbidity continue to be major global health challenges strongly associated with prematurity reduced fetal growth, an issue of further interest given the mounting evidence that growth in general is linked degrees risk common noncommunicable diseases adulthood. Against this background, WHO made it a high priority provide present charts for estimated weight (EFW) ultrasound biometric measurements intended worldwide use. Methods Findings We conducted...
Objective To assess the incidence of hypertensive disorders pregnancy and related severe complications, identify other associated factors compare maternal perinatal outcomes in women with without these conditions. Design Secondary analysis World Health Organization Multicountry Survey on Maternal Newborn ( WHOMCS ) database. Setting Cross‐sectional study implemented at 357 health facilities conducting 1000 or more deliveries annually 29 countries from Africa, Asia, Latin America Middle East....
Since the mid-1990s, world has seen a substantial reduction of maternal mortality.1 Considering that social determinants and health system arrangements play major role in mortality2, this is important not only because number lives have been spared period (more than 2.5 million deaths averted between 1990 2010), but it indicates making significant progress towards development gender equality. However, still insufficient, unequal slow: recent estimates suggest 287 000 women died causes related...
Beth Payne and colleagues use a risk prediction model, the Pre-eclampsia Integrated Estimate of RiSk (miniPIERS) to help inform clinical assessment triage women with hypertensive disorders pregnancy in low-resourced settings. Please see later article for Editors' Summary
Delays in the detection or treatment of postpartum hemorrhage can result complications death. A blood-collection drape help provide objective, accurate, and early diagnosis hemorrhage, delayed inconsistent use effective interventions may be able to addressed by a bundle.
Postpartum hemorrhage is the most common cause of maternal death. Oxytocin standard therapy for prevention postpartum hemorrhage, but it requires cold storage, which not available in many countries. In a large trial, we compared novel formulation heat-stable carbetocin with oxytocin.We enrolled women across 23 sites 10 countries randomized, double-blind, noninferiority trial comparing intramuscular injections (at dose 100 μg) oxytocin IU) administered immediately after vaginal birth. Both...
Background Twin pregnancies in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) pose a high risk to mothers newborns due inherent biological risks scarcity of health resources. We conducted secondary analysis the WHO Global Survey dataset analyze maternal perinatal outcomes twin factors associated with morbidity mortality twins. Methods examined neonatal characteristics deliveries 23 LMICs multi-level logistic regression determine association between twins adverse outcomes. Results 279,425 gave...
Caesarean section rates continue to increase worldwide with uncertain medical consequences. Auditing and analysing caesarean other perinatal outcomes in a reliable continuous manner is critical for understanding reasons changes over time.
In Brief OBJECTIVE: A dipslide is a plastic paddle coated with agar that attached to cap screws onto sterile vial. Our objective was estimate the diagnostic accuracy of culture technique detect asymptomatic bacteriuria during pregnancy and evaluate nitrate leucocyte esterase dipslides for screening. METHODS: This an ancillary study within trial comparing single-day 7-day therapy in treating bacteriuria. Clean-catch midstream samples were collected from pregnant women seeking routine care....
Maternal mortality has declined by nearly half since 1990, but over a quarter million women still die every year of causes related to pregnancy and childbirth. Maternal-health targets are falling short the 2015 Millennium Development Goals post-2015 Agenda is emerging. In connection with this, setting global research priorities for next decade now required. We adapted methods Child Health Nutrition Research Initiative (CHNRI) identify set maternal perinatal health period 2025. Priority...
