“…10,15,17,18,27,28 This policy has been adopted by most countries in Africa, but implementation has been suboptimal. 29 Furthermore, the spread of SP-resistant P. falciparum reinforces the importance of investigating the ongoing effectiveness of IPTp-SP.…”

Abstract. The effectiveness of intermittent preventive treatment during pregnancy with sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (IPTp-SP) against malaria and anemia is unclear because of the spread of SP-resistant Plasmodium falciparum . This study evaluates the effectiveness of IPTp-SP among pregnant women attending the antenatal clinic at Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital in Accra, Ghana. A cross-sectional study comparing malaria and anemia prevalence among pregnant women using IPTp-SP with non-IPTp-SP users was conducted during June-August 2009. A total of 363 pregnant women (202 of IPTp users and 161 non-IPTp users) were recruited. A total of 15.3% of IPTp users had malaria compared with 44.7% of non-IPTp users ( P < 0.001). A total of 58.4% of non-IPTp users were anemic compared with 22.8% of IPTp users ( P < 0.001). When we controlled for other variables, the difference in the prevalence of malaria (odds ratio = 0.18, 95% confidence interval = 0.08-0.37) and anemia (odds ratio = 0.20, 95% confidence interval = 0.12-0.34) remained significant. The recommended IPTp-SP regimen is useful in preventing malaria and anemia among pregnant women in Ghana.

“…When given during first and second pregnancy it also causes significant reduction in the risk of having low birth weight infants (RR 0.71; 95% CI: 0.55 to 0.92), (RR 0.11; 95% CI: 0.07 to 0.17) [160,161]. A similar decrease in the incidence of low birth weight was also noted by Eisele et al (RR 0.65; 95% CI: 0.55 to 0.77) [162].…”

The past decade has witnessed increasing global attention and political support for maternal, newborn and child health. Despite this increased attention, actual progress has been slow and sporadic: coverage of key maternal and newborn health interventions remains low and there are wide disparities in access to care, within and across countries. Strategies for improving maternal and newborn health are closely linked, and can be delivered most effectively through a continuum of care approach. While these interventions are largely known, there is little information on which interventions have a positive health impact for both women and newborns. This supplement identifies the interventions during the preconception, pregnancy, intrapartum and postnatal periods found to have a positive, synergistic effect on maternal and neonatal outcomes. These interventions are then grouped into packages of care for delivery at the community, health center or hospital levels.

“…Both measures have been shown to reduce the prevalence of congenital malaria and improve pregnancy outcomes. 25,26 In addition, some of the mothers had malaria during the period of pregnancy, and the drugs administered to treat the malaria might have contributed to the low parasitemia observed in the present study.…”
