Determinants of human milk lactoferrin concentrations in rural Bangladesh
Open AccessChloe Andrews, Ingrid Olson et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2026
Lactoferrin is an iron-binding glycoprotein in human milk (HM) that reduces the risk of neonatal sepsis. Data from low- and middle-income countries regarding the determinants of HM lactoferrin concentration is limited. Our objectives were to assess how HM lactoferrin concentrations change over time and identify factors associated with lactoferrin concentration. From a pregnancy cohort in Sylhet, Bangladesh, we enrolled 99 women to join the lactat…
Feasibility and acceptability of magnetic resonance imaging and electroencephalography for child neurodevelopmental research in rural Ethiopia
Open AccessFirehiwot Workneh, Theresa I Chin et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2025
Background: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and electroencephalography (EEG) are valuable tools for studying neuroanatomical and electrophysiological features of early brain development. Studies implementing neuroimaging tools in low- and middle-income countries are still rare, and there is limited data on the acceptability of such tools among rural communities. The present study explores the perceptions, feasibility, and acceptability of introd…
The impact of enhancing nutrition and antenatal infection treatment on birth outcomes in Amhara, Ethiopia
Open AccessAnne CC Lee, Firehiwot Workneh et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2025
INTRODUCTION: We aimed to determine the impact of antenatal interventions to optimise maternal nutrition and infection management on birth outcomes in Ethiopia. METHODS: We conducted a pragmatic, open-label, 2×2 factorial randomised clinical effectiveness study among pregnant women enrolled <24 weeks gestation in 12 rural health centres in Amhara, Ethiopia. Eligible health centres were randomised to deliver an enhanced nutrition package (ENP) (ir…
Neonatal diet and growth outcomes in hospitalised very preterm infants
Open AccessMandy B Belfort, Danielle EY Ehret et al.ARTICLEJournal of Global Health2025
Background: Up-to-date data from middle-income countries are needed to inform in-hospital feeding practices among small, vulnerable newborns. We aimed to quantify growth indicators and their associations with in-hospital diet for infants born very preterm or with a very low birth weight (VLBW) of 401-1500 g in 12 middle income countries in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Methods: We performed an observational cohort study of infants born at 22-2…
Adaptation and Implementation of the Global Scales for Early Development (GSED) Tool in Ethiopia
Open AccessKalkidan Yibeltal, Atsede Teklehaimanot et al.ARTICLEChildren2025
Local adaptations were required to contextualize the GSED tool for the Ethiopian setting. The preliminary experience with the GSED tool in Ethiopia is positive, with high-competency trained staff and ease of administration
A biosocial analysis of perinatal and late neonatal mortality among Indigenous Maya Kaqchikel communities in Tecpán, Guatemala
Open AccessAnahí Venzor Strader, Magda Sotz et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2024
INTRODUCTION: Neonatal mortality is a global public health challenge. Guatemala has the fifth highest neonatal mortality rate in Latin America, and Indigenous communities are particularly impacted. This study aims to understand factors driving neonatal mortality rates among Maya Kaqchikel communities. METHODS: We used sequential explanatory mixed methods. The quantitative phase was a secondary analysis of 2014-2016 data from the Global Maternal a…
Facility-based care for moderately low birthweight infants in India, Malawi, and Tanzania
Open AccessKatherine E A Semrau, Rana R Mokhtar et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023
Globally, increasing rates of facility-based childbirth enable early intervention for small vulnerable newborns. We describe health system-level inputs, current feeding, and discharge practices for moderately low birthweight (MLBW) infants (1500- 10% less than their birthweight; 18.8% of infants were discharged with weights below facility-specific policy [1800g in India, 1500g in Malawi, and 2000g in Tanzania]. Based on descriptive analysis, we f…
Population attributable fractions for risk factors for spontaneous preterm births in 81 low- and middle-income countries
Open AccessEmma Bryce, Emily Bryce et al.ARTICLEJournal of Global Health2022
Background: Complications associated with preterm birth (PTB) are the largest contributor to under-five mortality globally. Success in reaching the Sustainable Development Goal target requires identifying potentially modifiable risk factors for PTB, estimating the relative importance of these risk factors, and identifying/implementing effective prevention strategies to address them. Methods: We conducted a literature review to define risk relatio…

Development and validation of a simplified algorithm for neonatal gestational age assessment – protocol for the Alliance for Maternal Newborn Health Improvement (Amanhi) prospective cohort study
Open AccessAbdulla H Baqui, Abdullah Baqui et al.ARTICLEJournal of Global Health2017
OBJECTIVE: The objective of the Alliance for Maternal and Newborn Health Improvement (AMANHI) gestational age study is to develop and validate a programmatically feasible and simple approach to accurately assess gestational age of babies after they are born. The study will provide accurate, population-based rates of preterm birth in different settings and quantify the risks of neonatal mortality and morbidity by gestational age and birth weight i…

Maternal and child health in Yushu, Qinghai Province, China
Open AccessMary Wellhoner, Anne CC Lee et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal for Equity…2011
While China is on track to achieve national Millennium Development Goal targets for maternal and child health, women and children in Surmang suffer from substantial health inequities in access to antenatal, skilled birth and postpartum care. Institutional delivery, skilled attendance and cesarean delivery are virtually inaccessible, and consequently maternal and infant morbidity and mortality are likely high. Urgent action is needed to improve ac…
