Journal ArticleDOI
Can available interventions end preventable deaths in mothers, newborn babies, and stillbirths, and at what cost?
Zulfiqar A Bhutta,Jai K Das,Rajiv Bahl,Joy E Lawn,Joy E Lawn,Rehana A Salam,Vinod K. Paul,M. Jeeva Sankar,Hannah Blencowe,Arjumand Rizvi,Victoria B Chou,Neff Walker +11 more
TL;DR: The analysis indicates that available interventions can reduce the three most common cause of neonatal mortality--preterm, intrapartum, and infection-related deaths--by 58, 79, and 84%, respectively.
Journal ArticleDOI
Early estimates of the indirect effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on maternal and child mortality in low-income and middle-income countries: a modelling study.
Timothy Roberton,Emily D Carter,Victoria B Chou,Angela Stegmuller,Bianca D Jackson,Yvonne Tam,Talata Sawadogo-Lewis,Neff Walker +7 more
TL;DR: If routine health care is disrupted and access to food is decreased (as a result of unavoidable shocks, health system collapse, or intentional choices made in responding to the pandemic), the increase in child and maternal deaths will be devastating.
Journal ArticleDOI
Methods to increase the percentage of free fetal DNA recovered from the maternal circulation.
Ravinder Dhallan,Wei Chun Au,Subhendra Mattagajasingh,Sarah Emche,Philip Bayliss,Marian Damewood,Michael Cronin,Victoria B Chou,Michelle Mohr +8 more
TL;DR: Addition of formaldehyde to maternal blood samples, coupled with careful processing protocols, increases the relative percentage of free fetal DNA, providing a foundation for development of noninvasive prenatal diagnostic tests to distinguish fetal DNA from maternal DNA in the maternal circulation.

Journal ArticleDOI
Estimating the global impact of poor quality of care on maternal and neonatal outcomes in 81 low- and middle-income countries: A modeling study.
TL;DR: If high-quality health systems could effectively deliver this subset of evidence-based interventions to mothers and their newborns who are already seeking care, there would be an estimated 28% decreases in maternal deaths, 28% decrease in neonatal deaths, and 22% fewer stillbirths compared to a scenario without any change or improvement in quality of care.
