Journal ArticleDOI

Stillbirths: Where? When? Why? How to make the data count?

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

Maternal near miss--towards a standard tool for monitoring quality of maternal health care.

TL;DR: The practical implementation of maternal near miss concept should provide an important contribution to improving quality of obstetric care to reduce maternal deaths and improve maternal health.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: High coverage of essential interventions did not imply reduced maternal mortality in the health-care facilities the authors studied, and the maternal severity index (MSI) had good accuracy for maternal death prediction in women with markers of organ dysfunction.
Journal ArticleDOI

WHO systematic review of maternal morbidity and mortality: the prevalence of severe acute maternal morbidity (near miss)

TL;DR: There is a clear need to set uniform criteria to classify patients as SAMM and an organ-system dysfunction/failure approach is the most epidemiologically sound as it is least open to bias, and thus could permit developing summary estimates.
