TLDR
Although only 23 countries are on track to achieve a 75% decrease in MMR by 2015, countries such as Egypt, China, Ecuador, and Bolivia have been achieving accelerated progress and substantial, albeit varied, progress has been made towards MDG 5.About:

Benefits of using magnesium sulphate (MgSO4) for eclampsia management and maternal mortality reduction: lessons from Kano State in Northern Nigeria
Ekechi Okereke,Babatunde Ahonsi,Jamilu Tukur,Salisu Mohammed Ishaku,Ayodeji Babatunde Oginni +4 more
TL;DR: A remarkable reduction in case fatality rate due to eclampsia in those who received MgSO4 therapy with minimal increase in costs when compared to diazepam therapy is found.

Barriers to formal health care seeking during pregnancy, childbirth and postnatal period: a qualitative study in Siaya County in rural Kenya
TL;DR: The complexity of the barriers to healthcare visits implies that narrow focused solutions are unlikely to succeed and there should be broad-based solutions that focus on the entire continuum of maternal care with a special focus on ANC.
Journal ArticleDOI
New modelled estimates of maternal mortality.
TL;DR: Although analysts may draw on the same sources of data across countries the methods with which these data are collected varies widely within countries and the high uncertainty intervals for MMR reflect the need to strengthen the capacities of national and local information systems to obtain robust data.

TL;DR: The PHP based on stratification of individual VTE risk resulted in a low incidence of VTE events, and recommendations on antithrombotic prophylaxis are weak.

Severe maternal morbidity in a tertiary care centre of northern Italy: a 5-year review.
Giovanni Zanconato,Elena Cavaliere,Carlotta Iacovella,Aurora Vassanelli,Vittorio Schweiger,Sonia Cipriani,Massimo Franchi +6 more
TL;DR: An integrated intervention-based approach proved to be effective in finding severe acute maternal morbidity cases and improving prevention and treatment of obstetric morbidities, thus reducing feto-maternal adverse effects and hospital expenditures.

Locally Weighted Regression: An Approach to Regression Analysis by Local Fitting
TL;DR: Locally weighted regression as discussed by the authors is a way of estimating a regression surface through a multivariate smoothing procedure, fitting a function of the independent variables locally and in a moving fashion analogous to how a moving average is computed for a time series.

TL;DR: Clarify is a program that uses Monte Carlo simulation to convert the raw output of statistical procedures into results that are of direct interest to researchers, without changing statistical assumptions or requiring new statistical models.

Maternal mortality: who, when, where, and why
Carine Ronsmans,Wendy J. Graham +1 more
TL;DR: Targeting of interventions to the most vulnerable--rural populations and poor people--is essential if substantial progress is to be achieved by 2015, and local variation can be important.
