The importance of quality of care in perinatal mortality: a case-control study in Chiapas, Mexico

Prevalence of Birth Asphyxia and Associated Factors among Neonates Delivered in Dilchora Referral Hospital, in Dire Dawa, Eastern Ethiopia

“…In our study maternal education was one of the factors associated with birth asphyxia. Similar finding were observed in other studies conducted in Tanzania, Mexico City, Southern Nepal and rural district Matiari, Pakistan [33,[64][65][66]. But inconsistent with finding conducted in hospital based study in Bangladesh [42].…”

“…The possible explanations for this difference might be due to variation in study setup, health care providers believes, awareness of health, guideline on child birth and delivery, training, availability of modern tools [65,66].…”

The Role of Care‐seeking Delays in Intrauterine Fetal Deaths among ‘Near‐miss’ Women in Herat, Afghanistan

“…Other risk factors of fetal deaths include hypertensive disorders, 1,3,4 malnutrition (including anaemia) 3,4 and infection, particularly maternal syphilis 4 . A lack of adequate antenatal care (ANC) is a risk factor 5–8 because ANC provides the opportunity to prevent or detect and treat the maternal health conditions associated with fetal deaths. Maternal age, parity and poor obstetrical history are correlated with each other but are independently associated with fetal death 3–5,7–10 .…”

Effect of pelvic floor muscle training on labour and newborn outcomes: a randomized controlled trial

“…In Brazil the public health system provide services to almost all low-income population, defined as annual income of less than US$ 10,000.00 10 . Low income pregnant women have higher rates of preterm labor, lower weight of the newborn and higher maternal mortality compared to women with a higher economic level [11][12][13] . To date there is no information whether pelvic floor muscle training during pregnancy gives additional risks to low-income pregnant women.…”
