Stillbirths: Where? When? Why? How to make the data count?
Joy E Lawn,Joy E Lawn,Hannah Blencowe,Robert Clive Pattinson,Simons Cousens,Rajesh Kumar,Ibinabo Ibiebele,Jason Gardosi,Louise T Day,Cynthia Stanton +9 more
TL;DR: A simple, programme-relevant stillbirth classification that can be used with verbal autopsy would provide a basis for comparable national estimates, and a new focus on all deaths around the time of birth is crucial to inform programmatic investment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Global report on preterm birth and stillbirth (1 of 7): Definitions, description of the burden and opportunities to improve data
TL;DR: Lack of adequate data hampers visibility, effective policies, and research, and immediate opportunities exist to improve data tracking and reduce the burden of preterm birth and stillbirth.
Journal ArticleDOI
National, regional, and worldwide estimates of stillbirth rates in 2009 with trends since 1995: a systematic analysis.
Simon Cousens,Hannah Blencowe,Cynthia Stanton,Doris Chou,Saifuddin Ahmed,Laura C. Steinhardt,Andreea A. Creanga,Özge Tunçalp,Z. P. Balsara,Shivam Gupta,Lale Say,Joy E Lawn +11 more
TL;DR: A regression model of log stillbirth rate was developed and used to predict national stillbirth rates from 1995 to 2009, and the estimated number of global stillbirths was 2·64 million in 2009 compared with 3·03 million in 1995.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stillbirth rates: delivering estimates in 190 countries
Cynthia Stanton,Joy E Lawn,Joy E Lawn,Hafiz Rahman,Katarzyna Wilczynska-Ketende,Kenneth Hill +5 more
TL;DR: These estimates are probably underestimates, but represent a rigorous attempt to measure the numbers of babies dying during the last trimester of pregnancy and are the first step towards making stillbirths count in public-health action.
Journal ArticleDOI
Socioeconomic differentials in caesarean rates in developing countries: a retrospective analysis
TL;DR: In the poorest countries-mostly in sub-Saharan Africa-large segments of the population have almost no access to potentially life-saving caesareans, whereas in some mid-income countries more than half the population has rates in excess of medical need.
