“Every Newborn-INDEPTH” (EN-INDEPTH) study protocol for a randomised comparison of household survey modules for measuring stillbirths and neonatal deaths in five Health and Demographic Surveillance sites
(Edinburgh University Global Health Society, 2019-02-15)
Background: Under-five and maternal mortality were halved in the Millennium Development Goals (MDG) era, with slower reductions for 2.6 million neonatal deaths and 2.6 million stillbirths. The Every Newborn Action Plan ...
Barriers and enablers to reporting pregnancy and adverse pregnancy outcomes in population-based surveys: EN-INDEPTH study.
(2021-02-08)
BACKGROUND: Risks of neonatal death, stillbirth and miscarriage are highest in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), where data has most gaps and estimates rely on household surveys, dependent on women reporting these ...
Small babies, big risks: global estimates of prevalence and mortality for vulnerable newborns to accelerate change and improve counting.
(2023-05-20)
Small newborns are vulnerable to mortality and lifelong loss of human capital. Measures of vulnerability previously focused on liveborn low-birthweight (LBW) babies, yet LBW reduction targets are off-track. There are two ...
"Every Newborn-BIRTH" protocol: observational study validating indicators for coverage and quality of maternal and newborn health care in Bangladesh, Nepal and Tanzania.
(Edinburgh University Global Health Society, 2019-06)
Background: 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 and >80 development partners, ...
Survey of women's report for 33 maternal and newborn indicators: EN-BIRTH multi-country validation study.
(2021-03-26)
BACKGROUND: Population-based household surveys, notably the Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) and Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys (MICS), remain the main source of maternal and newborn health data for many low- and ...
Neonatal resuscitation: EN-BIRTH multi-country validation study.
(BioMed Central, 2021-03-26)
BACKGROUND: Annually, 14 million newborns require stimulation to initiate breathing at birth and 6 million require bag-mask-ventilation (BMV). Many countries have invested in facility-based neonatal resuscitation equipment ...
Stillbirths including intrapartum timing: EN-BIRTH multi-country validation study.
(BioMed Central, 2021-03-26)
BACKGROUND: An estimated >2 million babies stillborn around the world each year lack visibility. Low- and middle-income countries carry 84% of the burden yet have the least data. Most births are now in facilities, hence ...
Uterotonics for prevention of postpartum haemorrhage: EN-BIRTH multi-country validation study.
(BioMed Central, 2021-03-26)
BACKGROUND: Postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) is a leading cause of preventable maternal mortality worldwide. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends uterotonic administration for every woman after birth to prevent PPH. ...
Kangaroo mother care: EN-BIRTH multi-country validation study.
(2021-03-26)
BACKGROUND: Kangaroo mother care (KMC) reduces mortality among stable neonates ≤2000 g. Lack of data tracking coverage and quality of KMC in both surveys and routine information systems impedes scale-up. This paper evaluates ...
Birthweight measurement processes and perceived value: qualitative research in one EN-BIRTH study hospital in Tanzania.
(2021-03-26)
BACKGROUND: Globally an estimated 20.5 million liveborn babies are low birthweight (LBW) each year, weighing less than 2500 g. LBW babies have increased risk of mortality even beyond the neonatal period, with an ongoing ...
