Benefit–cost analysis of an integrated package of interventions during preconception, pregnancy and early childhood in India
BACKGROUND: We have previously shown that an integrated intervention package delivered during preconception, pregnancy and early childhood substantially reduces low birth weight and stunting at 24 months of age compared with routine care. Now we conduct a benefit-cost analysis to estimate the return on investment of this integrated approach in India. This increases the policy relevance of trial results, given the low investment in healthcare in I…
Effect of kangaroo mother care initiated in community settings on financial risk protection of low-income households
INTRODUCTION: Many families in low-income and middle-income countries have high out-of-pocket expenditures (OOPE) for healthcare, and some face impoverishment. We aimed to assess the effect of Kangaroo Mother Care initiated in community setting (ciKMC) on financial risk protection estimated by healthcare OOPE, catastrophic healthcare expenditure (CHE) and impoverishment due to healthcare seeking for low birthweight infants, using a randomised con…
Gestational weight gain and pregnancy outcomes
Despite the high prevalence of inadequate gestational weight gain (GWG) and adverse pregnancy outcomes, very few studies have addressed the association between GWG and pregnancy outcomes in South Asia. Our objectives were to estimate the prevalence of GWG during the second and third trimesters within, below and above the Institute of Medicine (IOM) guidelines, and to estimate the effect of the rate and adequacy of GWG on gestational age at the ti…

Severe wasting among Indian infants <6 months
Burden and risk factors for wasting in the first 6 months of life among Indian children are not well documented. We used data from India's National Family Health Survey 4 to estimate the prevalence of severe wasting (weight for length < ‐3 SD ) among 18,898 infants under 6 months of age. We also examined the association of severe wasting with household, maternal, and child‐related factors using multivariable logistic regression analysis. Prevalen…
