Born Too Soon
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…
Newborn survival
Health Policy & Planning volume 27 supplement 3: A decade of change for newborn survival, policy and programmes (2000–2010), July 2012 pp. iii6–iii28 doi:10.1093/heapol/czs053 This article contained errors on p. 8, para 1 and in Table 3. The health density figures should refer to the number of midwives, nurses and physicians per 100 000, not per 10 000. The sentence on p. 8 should read: The density of midwives and nurses is over 30-fold higher in…
National, regional, and worldwide estimates of preterm birth rates in the year 2010 with time trends since 1990 for selected countries
A New Method for Deriving Global Estimates of Maternal Mortality
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…
Newborn survival
Neonatal deaths account for 40% of global under-five mortality and are ever more important if we are to achieve the Millennium Development Goal 4 (MDG 4) on child survival. We applied a results framework to evaluate global and national changes for neonatal mortality rates (NMR), healthy behaviours, intervention coverage, health system change, and inputs including funding, while considering contextual changes. The average annual rate of reduction …
