  • Miscarriage, self-harm, and psychiatric disorders in first-time pregnant women

    Open AccessCorneliu Bolbocean, Arri Coomarasamy et al.ARTICLESocial Science & Medicine2026

    We leveraged the biological evidence that a first pregnancy ending in miscarriage is considered a quasi-exogenous shock to fertility and linked electronic health records to estimate adjusted associations between miscarriage and self-harm and psychiatric outcomes. In a random cohort of 1.2 million women aged 16 to 50, all first recorded pregnancies between 01/01/2004 and 31/12/2017 were identified using data linked from health registries in Englan…

  • Avoidable factors associated with maternal death from postpartum haemorrhage

    Open AccessJennifer Riches, James Jafali et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2025

    Background Despite strong evidence-based strategies for prevention and management, global efforts to reduce deaths from postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) have failed, and it remains the leading cause of maternal mortality. We conducted a detailed review of all maternal deaths from 33 facilities in Malawi to identify health system weaknesses leading to deaths from PPH. Methods Data were collected regarding every maternal death occurring across all dist…

  • Research agenda for ending preventable maternal deaths from postpartum haemorrhage

    Open AccessChristopher R Williams, Guervan Adnet et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2024

    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…

  • A systematic review of behaviour change interventions to improve maternal health outcomes in sub-Saharan Africa

    Open AccessFrancis G Muriithi, Aduragbemi Banke-Thomas et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    The rate of decline in the global burden of avoidable maternal deaths has stagnated and remains an issue of concern in many sub-Saharan Africa countries. As per the most recent evidence, an average maternal mortality ratio (MMR) of 223 deaths per 100,000 live births has been estimated globally, with sub-Saharan Africa’s average MMR at 536 per 100,000 live births—more than twice the global average. Despite the high MMR, there is variation in MMR b…

  • Individual, health facility and wider health system factors contributing to maternal deaths in Africa

    Open AccessFrancis G Muriithi, Aduragbemi Banke-Thomas et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2022

    The number of women dying during pregnancy and after childbirth remains unacceptably high, with African countries showing the slowest decline. The leading causes of maternal deaths in Africa are preventable direct obstetric causes such as haemorrhage, infection, hypertension, unsafe abortion, and obstructed labour. There is an information gap on factors contributing to maternal deaths in Africa. Our objective was to identify these contributing fa…

  • Miscarriage matters

    Open AccessSiobhan Quenby, Ioannis D Gallos et al.ARTICLEThe Lancet2021

  • Men and Miscarriage

    Open AccessHelen M Williams, Annie Topping et al.ARTICLEQualitative Health Research2020

    Miscarriage is common, affecting one in five pregnancies, but the psychosocial effects often go unrecognized and unsupported. The effects on men may be subject to unintentional neglect by health care practitioners, who typically focus on biological symptoms, confined to women. Therefore, we set out to systematically review the evidence of lived experiences of male partners in high-income countries. Our search and thematic synthesis of the relevan…
