  • A global analysis of the determinants of maternal health and transitions in maternal mortality

    Open AccessJuliano P Souza, João Paulo Souza et al.ARTICLEThe Lancet Global Health2024

    The reduction of maternal mortality and the promotion of maternal health and wellbeing are complex tasks. This Series paper analyses the distal and proximal determinants of maternal health, as well as the exposures, risk factors, and micro-correlates related to maternal mortality. This paper also examines the relationship between these determinants and the gradual shift over time from a pattern of high maternal mortality to a pattern of low mater…

    Open AccessLeontine Alkema, Doris Chou et al.ARTICLEThe Lancet2016

  • National, regional, and worldwide estimates of stillbirth rates in 2015, with trends from 2000

    Open AccessHannah Blencowe, Simon Cousen et al.ARTICLEThe Lancet Global Health2016

    BACKGROUND: Previous estimates have highlighted a large global burden of stillbirths, with an absence of reliable data from regions where most stillbirths occur. The Every Newborn Action Plan (ENAP) targets national stillbirth rates (SBRs) of 12 or fewer stillbirths per 1000 births by 2030. We estimate SBRs and numbers for 195 countries, including trends from 2000 to 2015. METHODS: We collated SBR data meeting prespecified inclusion criteria from…

  • Quality of care for pregnant women and newborns—the WHO vision

    Open AccessÖzge Tunçalp, Ӧ Tunçalp et al.ARTICLEBJOG An International Journal of…2015

    In 2015, as we review progress towards Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), despite significant progress in reduction of mortality, we still have unacceptably high numbers of maternal and newborn deaths globally. Efforts over the past decade to reduce adverse outcomes for pregnant women and newborns have been directed at increasing skilled birth attendance.1, 2 This has resulted in higher rates of births in health facilities in all regions.3 The …

  • Conflict, displacement and sexual and reproductive health services in Mali

    Open AccessÖzge Tunçalp, Ibrahima Socé Fall et al.ARTICLEConflict and Health2015

    Areas with high concentration of displaced population had less service availability, and areas formerly under occupation had the least service availability. This suggests that those living in conflict areas, and many of those who are internally displaced, have poor access to essential SRH interventions. The systematic measurement of the availability of health services, including SRH, is feasible and can contribute to recovery planning in post-con…

  • Child Marriage Legislation in the Asia-Pacific Region

    Open AccessElisa Scolaro, Aleksandra Blagojevic et al.ARTICLEThe Review of Faith & International…2015Citada por: 2Referencias: 12

    Child marriage is a human rights violation that robs a girl of her childhood, puts her health, growth, and development at risk, disrupts her education, limits her opportunities for empowerment and social development, and increases her risk of exposure to violence and abuse (for a review of the evidence on the negative effects of child marriage on girls and their children, see Parsons et al. 2015, in this issue). While child marriage is not mentio…

  • Sexual health in the International Classification of Diseases (ICD)

    Doris Chou, Sara Cottler et al.ARTICLEReproductive Health Matters2015Citada por: 2Referencias: 8

    This paper examines different dimensions of sexual health as related to the measurement of sexual health indicators and the proposed changes in the International Classification of Diseases to address issues related to sexuality and sexual health with an aim of informing health policy-making and programming. The lack of mechanisms for monitoring and evaluating sexual health outcomes has impeded the development of policies and programmes that suppo…

  • Global causes of maternal death

    Open AccessLale Say, Doris Chou et al.ARTICLEThe Lancet Global Health2014

    BACKGROUND: Data for the causes of maternal deaths are needed to inform policies to improve maternal health. We developed and analysed global, regional, and subregional estimates of the causes of maternal death during 2003-09, with a novel method, updating the previous WHO systematic review. METHODS: We searched specialised and general bibliographic databases for articles published between between Jan 1, 2003, and Dec 31, 2012, for research data,…

  • Born Too Soon

    Open AccessHannah Blencowe, Simon Cousen et al.ARTICLEReproductive Health2013

    This second paper in the Born Too Soon supplement presents a review of the epidemiology of preterm birth, and its burden globally, including priorities for action to improve the data. Worldwide an estimated 11.1% of all livebirths in 2010 were born preterm (14.9 million babies born before 37 weeks of gestation), with preterm birth rates increasing in most countries with reliable trend data. Direct complications of preterm birth account for one mi…

  • Understanding Global Trends in Maternal Mortality

    Sarah Zureick-Brown, Sarah Zureick‐brown et al.ARTICLEInternational Perspectives on…2013

    CONTEXT: Despite the fact that most maternal deaths are preventable, maternal mortality remains high in many developing countries. Target A of Millennium Development Goal (MDG) 5 calls for a three-quarters reduction in the maternal mortality ratio (MMR) between 1990 and 2015. METHODS: We derived estimates of maternal mortality for 172 countries over the period 1990-2008. Trends in maternal mortality were estimated either directly from vital regis…

  • A New Method for Deriving Global Estimates of Maternal Mortality

    John R Wilmoth, Nobuko Mizoguchi et al.ARTICLEStatistics Politics and Policy2012Citada por: 3

    Maternal mortality is widely regarded as a key indicator of population health and of social and economic development. Its levels and trends are monitored closely by the United Nations and others, inspired in part by the UN's Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), which call for a three-fourths reduction in the maternal mortality ratio between 1990 and 2015. Unfortunately, the empirical basis for such monitoring remains quite weak, requiring the use…
