Orphaned children were more likely than non-vulnerable children to live in a household receiving external support and those that did had improved education outcomes, although the coverage of these programmes was modest in the study populations.
For continuous outcomes, while the coverage never fell below 0.93, and the type I error rate never exceeded 0.07 for any method, overall linear mixed-effects models performed well with respect to median bias, mean squared error, coverage, and median width.
These contextual factors should be described and their effect on the coverage outcome should be assessed where possible.
In addition to the primary study outcome which was the coverage of skilled delivery attendance, we also analyzed secondary outcomes which were ANC attendance and knowledge on Safe Motherhood issues.
The secondary outcome measure was the coverage rate in each questionnaire variant.
Although advanced ARVs may greatly influence maternal outcomes, the lack of coverage continues to suggest that HIV-1 infected pregnant women will still be affected by their mode of delivery and that long labors followed by surgery may be deleterious for this population.
All the studies mentioned above have considered the health outcomes related to mortality, the coverage of a particular disease immunization or the coverage of skilled birth attendants.
As in the case of proximal coverage outcomes, the findings of a controlled trial for distal coverage outcomes may have very limited external validity.
Analytic inclusion criteria: 1) Deal with one of the topics of the question; 2) Outcome examined: inequality, access, quality, health outcomes; 3) If however, there were lack of studies on examining the outcomes, then coverage used as an outcome.
We compared the coverage and outcomes of IVF children reported in aggregated IVF statistics, the Medical Birth Register (subsequently: MBR) and research data based on reimbursements for IVF treatments in Finland in 1996 1998.
