Improving Surveillance for Maternal and Perinatal Health in 2 Districts of Rural Tanzania
Objectives. As part of a community-based reproductive health project in rural Tanzania, a maternal and perinatal health care surveillance system was established to monitor pregnancy outcomes. This report presents preliminary results. Methods. Village health workers were trained to collect data during health education visits to pregnant and postpartum women. Maternal and fetal or infant survival or deaths were tracked on a community monitoring boa…
Breastfeeding Effects on Birth Interval Components
Data that were collected prospectively from a child health study conducted in Gaza show a strong relationship between breastfeeding and two major components of birth intervals, the postpartum anovulatory period and the waiting time to conception. The Gaza population is similar to other populations in the Middle East in having moderate durations of breastfeeding and short intervals between births. The finding of a strong positive association betwe…
Defining legitimate births in Fulton County, Georgia, 1977
In 1977, the parents of 1,043 births recorded for 15 to 19 year old women in Fulton County, Georgia, were classified as married. However, only 36 per cent of these births could be linked with marriage certificates. An analysis of the unlinked birth certificates showed that the overwhelming majority of teenage parents did not appear to be legally married. The absence of a specific statement regarding marital status on birth certificates results in…
The risk of childbearing re-evaluated
To determine the completeness of reporting of maternal deaths after live born deliveries in Georgia for 1975 and 1976, we matched death certificates with corresponding birth certificates for women of reproductive age. For these two years, more intensive searching led to our finding a minimum of a 27 per cent higher number of maternal deaths than that found by routine death certificate surveillance. When the delivery-death interval was not restric…
The underregistration of neonatal deaths
We reviewed the neonatal outcome of 3,369 infants who weighed less than or equal to 1500 grams and who were born in Georgia during the years 1974--76. We matched 1,465 of these infants with a death certificate registered in the State's Vital Records. Upon review of the hospital records of the remaining infants, we identified 453 infants that died during the neonatal period without a death certificate being registered. Subsequently, we compared th…
