Severe acute maternal morbidity: a pilot study of a definition for a near-miss
TL;DR: To test the application of a clinical definition of severe acute maternal morbidity, a large number of patients with confirmed or suspected cases of maternal death in the second trimester of pregnancy are randomly selected to undergo a EMT procedure.
Journal Article
Aggressive or expectant management for patients with severe preeclampsia between 28-34 weeks' gestation: a randomized controlled trial.
TL;DR: Fifty-eight women with severe preeclampsia between 28-34 weeks' gestation qualified for a randomized controlled trial to establish whether elective delivery 48 hours after administration of betamethasone or delivery later as indicated by maternal or fetal condition was more beneficial to maternal and fetal outcome.
Journal ArticleDOI
Saving the lives of South Africa's mothers, babies, and children: can the health system deliver?
TL;DR: It is estimated that 11,500 infants' lives could be saved by effective implementation of basic neonatal care at 95% coverage and similar coverage of dual-therapy prevention of mother-to-child transmission with appropriate feeding choices could save 37,200 children's lives in South Africa per year in 2015 compared with 2008.
Journal ArticleDOI

Robert Clive Pattinson,M Hall +1 more

Decline in the prevalence of neural tube defects following folic acid fortification and its cost-benefit in South Africa
TL;DR: The decrease in NTD rates postfortification is consistent with decreases observed in other countries that have fortified their food supplies and the economic benefit flowing from the prevention of NTDs greatly exceeds the costs of implementing folic acid fortification.
