  • Beyond survival

    Open AccessLaura Subramanian, Dorothy Oluoch et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2025

    Evidence is lacking on how birth complications affect postpartum wellbeing in low-resource settings, and how to support post-complication recovery in these settings. To address this gap, we conducted a mixed methods study at three county referral hospitals in Kenya to explore the impact of birth complications on mothers’ and families’ postpartum experiences and wellbeing. We used a convergent parallel study design, including a quantitative cross-…

Families’ use of evidence-based newborn care practices in the home and timely care-seeking for illness can save newborn lives. Postnatal education is an important investment to improve families’ use of evidence-based newborn care practices, yet there are gaps in the literature on postnatal education programmes that have been…

  • Does adherence to evidence-based practices during childbirth prevent perinatal mortality? A post-hoc analysis of 3,274 births in Uttar Pradesh, India

    Open AccessKatherine E A Semrau, Kate A Miller et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2020

    BACKGROUND: Evidence-based practices that reduce childbirth-related morbidity and mortality are core processes to quality of care. In the BetterBirth trial, a matched-pair, cluster-randomised controlled trial of a coaching-based implementation of the WHO Safe Childbirth Checklist (SCC) in Uttar Pradesh, India, we observed a significant increase in adherence to practices, but no reduction in perinatal mortality. METHODS: Within the BetterBirth tri…
