TL;DR: In this article, the authors quantified maternal mortality throughout the world by underlying cause and age from 1990 to 2015 for ages 10-54 years by systematically compiling and processing all available data sources from 186 of 195 countries and territories.

Two million intrapartum-related stillbirths and neonatal deaths: where, why, and what can be done?
Joy E Lawn,Anne C C Lee,Mary V Kinney,Lynn M. Sibley,Wally Carlo,Vinod K. Paul,Robert Clive Pattinson,Gary L. Darmstadt,Gary L. Darmstadt +8 more
TL;DR: Intrapartum‐related neonatal deaths (“birth asphyxia”) are a leading cause of child mortality globally, outnumbering deaths from malaria, yet there is a lack of consensus on what works, especially in weak health systems.

Neonatal resuscitation and immediate newborn assessment and stimulation for the prevention of neonatal deaths: a systematic review, meta-analysis and Delphi estimation of mortality effect

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors conducted a systematic review for studies reporting relevant mortality or morbidity outcomes, using GRADE criteria adapted to provide a systematic approach to mortality effect estimates for the Lives Saved Tool (LiST).

Intrapartum-related neonatal encephalopathy incidence and impairment at regional and global levels for 2010 with trends from 1990
Anne C C Lee,Naoko Kozuki,Hannah Blencowe,Theo Vos,Adil N. Bahalim,Gary L. Darmstadt,Susan Niermeyer,Matthew Ellis,Nicola J. Robertson,Simon Cousens,Joy E Lawn +10 more
TL;DR: In settings without neonatal intensive care, the impairment rate is low due to high mortality, which is relevant for the scale-up of basic neonatal resuscitation, but rates of impairment are highest in middle-income countries where neonatalintensive care was more recently introduced, but quality may be poor.

TL;DR: Unless urgent improvements in protecting fetal and infant brains can be achieved in both rich and poor countries, developmental-behavioral disorders will emerge by the 21st century as an overriding health issue in many areas of the world.
