In India, considerable progress has been made in reducing child mortality rates. Despite this achievement, wide disparities persist across and socio-econom
Tanzania’s neonatal mortality rate is estimated at 24 per 1000 live births and has not reduced over the last decade. High-burden countries such as Tanzania face challenges accessing reliable neonatal indicator data to monitor progress, guide interventions, and support decision-making. Given that >...
Using microdata on 30,000 childbirths in India and dynamic panel data models, we analyse causal effects of birth-spacing on subsequent neonatal mortality and of mortality on subsequent birth intervals, controlling for unobserved heterogeneity. Right censoring is accounted for by jointly estimating a fe...
Neonatal pneumoniacaused byS. aureushas been described for decades, often reported to occur in community epidemics in infants during the first month of life. These infections, even before the advent of CA-MRSA, have been known to cause severe disease with a high mortality rate that may reflect...
Though Rwanda is among the few countries in Africa that achieved the fourth Millennium Development Goal to reduce child mortality, mortality rate among neonates is still of great concern. Neonatal sepsis is still a leading cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality in Rwanda, including in the study...
When caseswere examined according to the studied years, perinatalasphyxia ratio was the most frequent in 2007 as 28.1%.With a decline over the years, frequency dropped to %21in 2010. The number of patients with stage 3 and mortalityrate were significantly decreased over the years (p0.05)....
Mortality and risk factors for death:twenty-five patients (15%) died before discharge (two of these were born outside HGH), giving a mortality rate of 16 per 1000 live births in the hospital. Twenty-one died within the first 48 hours of life. In the subgroup with known outcome after on...
Inequalities in child health are large and effective interventions rarely reach the most in need. Little is known about how to reduce these inequalities. We describe and explain the equity impact of a women's group intervention in India that strongly reduced the neonatal mortality rate (NMR) in...
Progress in child survival also diverges across age groups4. Global reductions in mortality rates of children under 5—that is, the under-5 mortality rate (U5MR)—among post-neonatal age groups are greater than those for mortality of neonates (0–28 days)4,8. It is relatively unclear how ...
