TL;DR: The rate of neonatal death in the 7 days after birth did not decrease after the introduction of Essential Newborn Care training of community-based birth attendants, although the rate of stillbirths was reduced.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Despite increased use of antenatal corticosteroids in low-birthweight infants in the intervention groups, neonatal mortality did not decrease in this group, and increased in the population overall, and the risk of maternal infection seems to have been increased.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: This study suggests that pregnancy among adolescents is not associated with better maternal outcomes, but is associated with worse perinatal outcomes, particularly in younger adolescents, however, this may not be the case in regions like South Asia where there are decreasing rates of adolescent pregnancies.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In populations of nulliparous women with singleton pregnancies from low-income and middle-income countries, low-dose aspirin initiated between 6 weeks and 0 days of gestation and 13 weeks and 6 days of pregnancy resulted in a reduced incidence of preterm delivery before 37 weeks, and reduced perinatal mortality.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The MNHR identified preventable causes of maternal mortality in diverse settings in low- and middle-income countries and can be used to monitor public health strategies and determine their association with reducing maternal mortality.
