  • 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…

  • The use of network meta-analysis in updating WHO living maternal and perinatal health recommendations

    Open AccessMyfanwy J Williams, Joshua P Vogel et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2023

    Drawing on two recent examples of WHO living guidelines in maternal and perinatal health, this paper elucidates a pragmatic, stepwise approach to using network meta-analysis (NMA) in guideline development in the presence of multiple treatment options. NMA has important advantages. These include the ability to compare multiple interventions in a single coherent analysis, provide direct estimates of the relative effects of all available interventio…

  • 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…
