Women’s perspectives on the impact of war on maternal and reproductive health: A cross-sectional study from Gaza
Palestinians in Gaza have been subject to a genocide that resulted in unprecedented loss of human lives, with over 38,000 women and girls killed were reported between October 7th, 2023 to April 2026, and produced inhumane living conditions. While the entire population of Gaza was affected by these living conditions, women and girls suffered the most. This has created higher risks for worse maternal and reproductive health outcomes, including adve…
Perinatal mental health in India in the states of Haryana and Telangana: A district-level situational analysis
Women in the perinatal phase are at an increased risk of experiencing mental health problems, but in low and middle-income countries such as India, perinatal mental health (PMH) care provision is often scarce. This situational analysis presents the formative findings of the SMARThealth Pregnancy and Mental Health (PRAMH) project (Votruba et al. 2023). It investigates the nature and availability of maternal mental health policies, legislation, sys…
Association of maternal prenatal selenium concentration and preterm birth: A multicountry meta-analysis
BACKGROUND: Selenium (Se), an essential trace mineral, has been implicated in preterm birth (PTB). We aimed to determine the association of maternal Se concentrations during pregnancy with PTB risk and gestational duration in a large number of samples collected from diverse populations. METHODS: Gestational duration data and maternal plasma or serum samples of 9946 singleton live births were obtained from 17 geographically diverse study cohorts. …
How to close the maternal and neonatal sepsis gap in sub-Saharan Africa
Sepsis is life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection.1 The incidence of sepsis, as estimated by the Global Burden of Disease study, was 48.9 million cases with 11 million deaths in 2017.2 In sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), the burden is highest, with an estimated 16.7 million cases and sepsis accounting for up to 45% of all deaths, in many SSA countries.2 Maternal sepsis is a sepsis that occurs during pregnan…
Stillbirths: Rates, risk factors, and acceleration towards 2030
An estimated 2.6 million third trimester stillbirths occurred in 2015 (uncertainty range 2.4-3.0 million). The number of stillbirths has reduced more slowly than has maternal mortality or mortality in children younger than 5 years, which were explicitly targeted in the Millennium Development Goals. The Every Newborn Action Plan has the target of 12 or fewer stillbirths per 1000 births in every country by 2030. 94 mainly high-income countries and …
National, regional, and worldwide estimates of stillbirth rates in 2015, with trends from 2000: A systematic analysis
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…
