Comparison 4: One intervention versus a combination of interventions There was no difference in ANC coverage (four or more visits and at least one visit), pregnancy-related deaths, deliveries in a health facility or perinatal mortality.
When one intervention was compared to a combination of other interventions, there was no improvement in ANC coverage (four or more visits and least one visit), pregnancy-related deaths, deliveries in a health facility or perinatal mortality.
Using logistic regression, we calculated adjusted ORs (aORs) divided into deaths before delivery, delivery room deaths, deaths after neonatal unit admission before 7 days, between 7 and 28 days and after 28 days but before discharge.
aPercentage of total numbers of all births, including fetal death/stillbirths and neonatal death at delivery (see Table 1); bincluding fetal deaths/stillbirth and neonatal deaths immediately at delivery but counted as live births.
This improvement is primarily achieved by a reduction in fetal deaths before delivery, and neonatal deaths in the delivery room and over the first week.
In pregnant women, the anemia from chronic hookworm infection can lead to a higher risk of complications and death during delivery.
The likelihood of perinatal death or delivery at <24 weeks was 6.0%9595% CI, 3.8%-8.2%) after transabdominal cerclage and 12.5% (95% CI, 2.7%-22.7%) after transvaginal cerclage.
Conclusion: Transabdominal cerclage may be associated with a lower risk of perinatal death or delivery at <24 weeks of gestation, but it may be associated with a higher risk of serious operative complications.
Listeriosis during pregnancy can result in fetal death, premature delivery, or severe illness in the newborn.
6 These adverse outcomes include spontaneous abortion, perinatal death, preterm delivery, and low birth weight.
