Abstract:

Skilled birth attendance and institutional delivery have been advocated for reducing maternal, neonatal mortality and infant mortality (NMR and IMR). This paper examines the role of place of delivery with respect to neo-natal and infant mortality in India using four rounds of the Indian National Family Health Survey conducted in 2015–2016. The place of birth has been categorized as “at home” or “public and private institution.” The role of place of delivery on neo-natal and infant mortality was examined by using multivariate hazard regression models adjusted for clus-tering and relevant matern

INTRODUCTION: Although there was a considerable reduction in infant mortality in Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul in the last decade, its perinatal causes were reduced only by 28%. The associated factors of these causes were analised. MATERIAL AND METHOD: All hospital births and perinatal deaths were assessed by daily visits to all the maternity hospitals in the city, throughout 1993 and including the first week of 1994. RESULTS: The perinatal mortality rate was 22.1 per thousand births. The multivariate analysis showed the following risk factors: low socioeconomic level, male sex and maternal age a

At both global and national levels, efforts have been made to promote utilization of maternal healthcare. Provision of free maternal healthcare services is one of the interventions put in place to reduce infant and maternal mortality rate that occur especially during childbirth. The initiative has been in existence for about seven years in all public hospitals and health centers in Kenya with an aim to achieve Sustainable DevelopmentGoal3 (SDG 3) on universal health. Despite the implementation of free maternal health care service maternal mortality has remained high. The study therefore examin

Background: Burn injuries are a significant public health concern in India, consuming substantial healthcare resources, with a higher prevalence in rural areas. The management of burns during pregnancy is particularly challenging due to limited published data, making treatment difficult in peripheral hospitals. Given this context, we conducted a retrospective analytical study on burn injuries in pregnant women.

Background Antepartum hemorrhage continues to be a major cause of maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality in developing countries including Ethiopia and it complicates 2–5% of all pregnancies with an increased rate of maternal and perinatal morbidity and even mortality. Despite many activities, still, poor fetomaternal outcomes of antepartum hemorrhage are still there. Moreover, studies around the current study area emphasize the magnitude and associated factors for antepartum hemorrhage rather than its feto-maternal outcomes. Thus, there is a need to identify the determinants associate

Globally, maternal mortality is an indicator to monitor maternal health services. In 2010, the WHO indicated that maternal deaths in Nigeria contributed to 14% of global maternal deaths. In 2018 Nigeria’s maternal mortality rate was 512 deaths per 100,000 live births. The WHO and other key partners developed the Safe Childbirth Checklist (SCC) as a facility-based tool to serve as reminder to help health workers adhere to evidence-based practices to ensure safety of the mother and baby. SCC has reportedly been adopted for use in other countries like Brazil and Cameroon. The objective of this st

Twenty-seven cases of uterine rupture were reported out of 31,115 deliveries with an incidence of 0.086% (versus 0.05% in the current literature). The incidence associated with previous caesarean section was 0.038% (versus 0.8% in the current literature). Predisposing and associated factors in this review were similar to those reported by others. There was no maternal mortality in our series but the fetal mortality rate was 5 out of 27 cases.

In São Luís, northeast Brazil, data were obtained using systematic sampling of births stratified by maternity unit (2,443 singleton deliveries) in 1997-1998.
