Assessing the feasibility and appropriateness of verbal autopsy using contact information of the deceased from burial records in urban Bangladesh
Background: Bangladesh faces significant challenges in accurately documenting causes of death (COD), largely due to incomplete vital registration systems, which lack COD reporting. A substantial number of deaths occur outside health facilities, often without medical certification, leading to further gaps in mortality data. Verbal autopsy (VA) has emerged as a viable method in low-resource settings to bridge this gap. We aimed to explore the feasi…
Pregnancy loss in rural Bangladesh
Background: Pregnancy loss, encompassing miscarriage/spontaneous and induced abortion, has substantial physical and mental health consequences for women. However, population-level evidence on its occurrence in Bangladesh remains limited, with most data derived from reports and small-scale community-based studies. Here we provide population-level estimates of pregnancy loss and examine associated factors in rural Bangladesh. Methods: We analysed d…
Causes and risk factors for deaths in young infants in South Asia
INTRODUCTION: Strategies for reducing infant mortality require accurate, local, population-level data. We conducted a population-based observational study in three countries in South Asia to describe risk factors, causes and rates of mortality in young infants. METHODS: Pregnancies, births and pregnancy outcomes were determined through household surveillance, and cause of deaths was ascertained by verbal autopsy. Cox regression was used to identi…
Adolescent and young adult mortality in Bangladesh
Background: In 2021, over 1.5 million adolescents (aged 10-19 years) and young adults (aged 20-24 years) died globally, approximately 4500 deaths daily. However, research on causes and factors influencing deaths among adolescents and young adults in Bangladesh is limited. We aimed to address this gap by identifying the leading causes of mortality and the factors affecting adolescent and young adult deaths. Methods: We conducted two cross-sectiona…
Design, development and implementation of a digital burial record-keeping and management system in Bangladesh
Background: Digitalisation of death documentation in Bangladesh's graveyards is crucial for accurate mortality data and public health planning. Additionally, studying the usability, technology acceptance, and implementation aspects of the digital death record-keeping system, an innovative intervention that has not been previously explored, ensures the effectiveness, user adoption, and long-term sustainability. We designed, implemented, and evalua…
Excess mortality during Covid-19 and prediction of mortality in Bangladesh
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted global mortality, underscoring the need for reliable data to guide public health policy. In low- and middle-income countries, graveyard-based death records can offer valuable insights into COVID-19-related mortality, yet they remain limited. Additionally, data on mortality beyond the pandemic remains scarce as we approach the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals. We addressed this gap by usin…
Excess mortality during Covid-19 pandemic in Bangladesh – evidence from a rural survey
Background: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) had a profound impact worldwide. In Bangladesh, the official number of deaths for COVID-19 was around 29 000. However, many countries including Bangladesh experienced substantial underreporting of COVID-19 deaths due to lack of complete national civil registration system. This study aims to estimate excess mortality in 2020, identify risk factors, and determine leading causes of death in Banglad…
Introducing a digital emergency obstetric and newborn care register for indoor obstetric patient management
Background: Digital health records have emerged as vital tools for improving health care delivery and patient data management. Acknowledging the gaps in data recording by a paper-based register, the emergency obstetric and newborn care (EmONC) register used in the labour ward was digitised. In this study, we aimed to assess the implementation outcome of the digital register in selected public health care facilities in Bangladesh. Methods: Extensi…
Decision-making process in seeking antenatal care
Background: Decision-making in choosing and using maternal health care among different care-seeking options is a complex process influenced by multilevel factors. Existing evidence on maternal health care-seeking behaviour stems primarily from cross-sectional studies with limited information. Therefore, we designed a cohort study to better understand the decision-making process in antenatal care (ANC) seeking. Methods: We conducted this mixed-met…
Risk factors for community-acquired bacterial infection among young infants in South Asia
OBJECTIVE: Risk factors predisposing infants to community-acquired bacterial infections during the first 2 months of life are poorly understood in South Asia. Identifying risk factors for infection could lead to improved preventive measures and antibiotic stewardship. METHODS: Five sites in Bangladesh, India and Pakistan enrolled mother-child pairs via population-based pregnancy surveillance by community health workers. Medical, sociodemographic …
Success and time implications of SpO 2 measurement through pulse oximetry among hospitalised children in rural Bangladesh
Background: Hypoxaemia is one of the strongest predictors of mortality among children with pneumonia. It can be identified through pulse oximetry instantaneously, which is a non-invasive procedure but can be influenced by factors related to the specific measuring device, health provider and patient. Following WHO's global recommendation in 2014, Bangladesh decided to introduce pulse oximetry in paediatric outpatient services, ie, the Integrated M…
Overweight and obesity among urban women with iron deficiency anaemia in Bangladesh
In this study, we aimed to determine the prevalence and factors associated with overweight and obesity among nonpregnant and nonlactating (NPNL) women of reproductive age with iron deficiency anaemia (IDA) in urban Bangladesh. We obtained data from the baseline assessment of a randomized control trial conducted among 525 women of reproductive age (18-49 years) with IDA (Hb -1 and serum ferritin -1 ). The study was carried out in Mirpur, Dhaka, Ba…
“Every Newborn-BIRTH” protocol
BACKGROUND: - Birth Indicators Research Tracking in Hospitals (EN-BIRTH) study aims to validate selected newborn and maternal indicators for routine tracking of coverage and quality of facility-based care for use at district, national and global levels. METHODS: EN-BIRTH is an observational study including >20 000 facility births in three countries (Tanzania, Bangladesh and Nepal) to validate selected indicators. Direct clinical observation will …
Feasibility of engaging “Village Doctors” in the Community-based Integrated Management of Childhood Illness (C-IMCI)
BACKGROUND: Informal health care providers particularly "village doctors" are the first point of care for under-five childhood illnesses in rural Bangladesh. We engaged village doctors as part of the Multi-Country Evaluation (MCE) of Integrated Management of Childhood Illness (IMCI) and assessed their management of sick under-five children before and after a modified IMCI training, supplemented with ongoing monitoring and supportive supervision. …
A community-based cluster randomised controlled trial in rural Bangladesh to evaluate the impact of the use of iron-folic acid supplements early in pregnancy on the risk of neonatal mortality

Impact of First Aid on Treatment Outcomes for Non-Fatal Injuries in Rural Bangladesh
Non-fatal injuries have a significant impact on disability, productivity, and economic cost, and first-aid can play an important role in improving non-fatal injury outcomes. Data collected from a census conducted as part of a drowning prevention project in Bangladesh was used to quantify the impact of first-aid provided by trained and untrained providers on non-fatal injuries. The census covered approximately 1.2 million people from 7 sub-distric…
Epidemiology of Drowning in Bangladesh
Over one-quarter of deaths among 1-4 year-olds in Bangladesh were due to drowning in 2003, and the proportion increased to 42% in 2011. This study describes the current burden and risk factors for drowning across all demographics in rural Bangladesh. A household survey was carried out in 51 union parishads of rural Bangladesh between June and November 2013, covering 1.17 million individuals. Information on fatal and nonfatal drowning events was c…
