Impact of early pregnancy body mass index and gestational weight gain on birth outcomes
Early pregnancy low body mass index (BMI) and inadequate gestational weight gain (IGWG) are significant risk factors for adverse birth outcomes. However, the specific risks among underweight women with IGWG or excessive GWG (EGWG), as well as overweight/obese women with IGWG or EGWG, compared to normal BMI women with adequate GWG (AGWG), remain poorly defined.The primary objective is to estimate the risk of small for gestational age (SGA) among w…
Impact of an integrated intervention package during preconception, pregnancy, and early childhood on inflammation, IGF-1, IGFBP3 during first 6 months of life
Early-life interventions targeting maternal and child health, nutrition, and psychosocial care may influence infant growth and immune development by modulating systemic inflammation and growth factor pathways. However, causal evidence on comprehensive, integrated interventions initiated during early life remains limited. This study was nested in a factorial randomized controlled trial involving women aged 18–30 years. Participants were randomized…
Treatment strategies for non-responders to oral iron and folic acid treatment in anemic children
Background Iron and folic acid (IFA) are essential nutrients, with deficiencies associated not only with anemia but also with other significant health consequences, including impaired cognitive development, increased susceptibility to infections, and adverse pregnancy outcomes. Despite the widespread use of IFA for management, a notable percentage of individuals failed to respond resulting in persistent anemia. This systematic review investigates…
Impact of nutritional and multiple micronutrients supplementation to lactating mothers 6 months postpartum on the maternal and infant micronutrient status
Objectives: To assess the impact of nutritional and multiple-micronutrient supplementation to lactating mothers on the micronutrient status of mother–infant dyad at 6 months of age postnatally. Design: This study was a trial that aimed to investigate the impact of maternal nutritional supplementation on infant growth. A secondary objective was to assess the effect on the micronutrient status of mother–infant pairs. The intervention group mothers …
Assembling a global database of child pneumonia studies to inform WHO pneumonia management algorithm
Background: The existing World Health Organization (WHO) pneumonia case management guidelines rely on clinical symptoms and signs for identifying, classifying, and treating pneumonia in children up to 5 years old. We aimed to collate an individual patient-level data set from large, high-quality pre-existing studies on pneumonia in children to identify a set of signs and symptoms with greater validity in the diagnosis, prognosis, and possible trea…
Health equity impact of community-initiated kangaroo mother care

Trial registration number CTRI/2015/10/006267 . Name of Registry: Clinical Trials Registry - India. URL of Registry: http://ctri.nic.in/Clinicaltrials/login.php Date of Registration: 15/10/2015. Date of enrolment of the first participant to the trial: 18/04/2015
Immunization practices in low birth weight infants from rural Haryana, India
BACKGROUND: Low birth weight (LBW) infants constitute a vulnerable subset of infants with impaired immunity in early life. In India, there is scarcity of studies that focus on immunization practices in such infants. This analysis aimed to examine immunization practices in LBW infants with the intention to identify areas requiring intervention. METHODS: Data on immunization status of LBW infants enrolled in an individually randomized, double-maske…
Why invest, and what it will take to improve breastfeeding practices?
Optimal breastfeeding practices and infant and child mortality
Breastfeeding and maternal health outcomes
Impact on inequities in health indicators
BACKGROUND: A trial to evaluate the Integrated Management of Neonatal and Childhood Illness (IMNCI) strategy showed that the intervention resulted in lower infant mortality and improved infant care practices. In this paper, we present the results of a secondary analysis to examine the effect of the IMNCI strategy on inequities in health indicators. METHODS: The trial was a cluster-randomized controlled trial in 18 primary health centre areas. For…
Setting research priorities to reduce global mortality from preterm birth and low birth weight by 2015
Zinc during and in convalescence from diarrhea has no demonstrable effect on subsequent morbidity and anthropometric status among infants <6 mo of age
Young infants do not appear to benefit from 2 wk of zinc, unlike what has been observed among older children.
Use of multiple opportunities for improving feeding practices in under-twos within child health programmes
OBJECTIVES: In a community randomized trial, we aimed to promote exclusive breastfeeding and appropriate complementary feeding practices in under-twos to ascertain the feasibility of using available channels for nutrition counselling, their relative performance and the relationship between intensity of counselling and behaviour change. We also assessed whether using multiple opportunities to impart nutrition education adversely affected routine a…
