A knowledge translation toolkit for maternal health implementation planning in low- and middle-income countries
BACKGROUND: Knowledge translation (KT) approaches have been advocated to increase uptake of evidence to improve maternal health outcomes in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). However, their use is limited by lack of KT capacity and limited applicability of many existing KT tools to the unique challenges of LMIC health settings. We developed and evaluated a toolkit designed for use by non-experts and tailored to support implementation plann…
Research agenda for ending preventable maternal deaths from postpartum haemorrhage
INTRODUCTION: Postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) remains the leading cause of maternal death. Yet there is a lack of clarity around what research is needed to determine what works and how best to deliver proven PPH interventions. This article describes a WHO-led effort to develop a global PPH research agenda for 2023-2030, to reinvigorate research and innovation while avoiding duplication and waste. METHODS: Potential questions were culled from evidenc…
WHO recommendations on maternal and newborn care for a positive postnatal experience
Feasibility of Conducting a Trial Assessing Benefits and Risks of Planned Caesarean Section Versus Planned Vaginal Birth
Beyond too little, too late and too much, too soon
Brief Counseling on Secondhand Smoke Exposure in Pregnant Women in Argentina and Uruguay
Argentina and Uruguay have a high prevalence of smoking during pregnancy, as well as of secondhand smoke (SHS) exposure. In this secondary analysis of a trial to implement brief smoking cessation counseling during antenatal care in Argentina and Uruguay, we aim to evaluate the effects of the intervention on the rates of self-reported SHS exposure at home and at work, and on attitudes recalled by non-smoker women enrolled in the intervention group…
Mode of Childbirth in Low-Risk Pregnancies
Pregnant Women’s Secondhand Smoke Exposure and Receipt of Screening and Brief Advice by Prenatal Care Providers in Argentina and Uruguay
Barriers and Promoters of an Evidenced-Based Smoking Cessation Counseling During Prenatal Care in Argentina and Uruguay
Tobacco Use and Secondhand Smoke Exposure During Pregnancy
Objectives. We examined pregnant women's use of cigarettes and other tobacco products and the exposure of pregnant women and their young children to secondhand smoke (SHS) in 9 nations in Latin America, Asia, and Africa. Methods. Face-to-face surveys were administered to 7961 pregnant women (more than 700 per site) between October 2004 and September 2005. Results. At all Latin American sites, pregnant women commonly reported that they had ever tr…
El parto pretérmino
Every year around the world some 13 million premature children are born. Most of these children are born in developing countries, and they account for the largest share of perinatal morbidity and mortality. This review study analyzed scientifically validated data on interventions to prevent at least some portion of these preterm deliveries and to lessen their impact on neonatal health. The Cochrane and MEDLINE bibliographic databases were consult…
