Improving Access to and Delivery of Maternal Health Care Services to Prevent Postpartum Hemorrhage in Selected States in Nigeria: Human-Centered Design Study

Improving Access to and Delivery of Maternal Health Care Services to Prevent Postpartum Hemorrhage in Selected States in Nigeria: Human-Centered Design Study

One example is the Support Sisters Intervention in the United States, a community-based peer-support intervention to help Medicaid-insured pregnant women access services and appointments [16]. In light of the global successes of using HCDs, its application to address service delivery complexities associated with maternal health care in Nigeria became imperative.

The Impact of Long-Chain Omega-3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acid Supplementation in Pregnant Women Toward the Intelligence Status of Early Childhood: Protocol for a Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

The Impact of Long-Chain Omega-3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acid Supplementation in Pregnant Women Toward the Intelligence Status of Early Childhood: Protocol for a Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Our systematic review will focus on studies involving healthy pregnant women who received omega-3 LCPUFA supplementation. These pregnant women must be free from major confounding factors that are not representative of the general population of pregnant women. Additionally, we will consider the outcomes for their children who are aged 8 years or younger, assessing the impact of omega-3 LCPUFA supplementation on the children’s intelligence using validated tools.

Effect of Continuous Positive Airway Pressure or Positional Therapy Compared to Control for Treatment of  Obstructive Sleep Apnea on the Development of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus in Pregnancy: Protocol for Feasibility Randomized Controlled Trial

Effect of Continuous Positive Airway Pressure or Positional Therapy Compared to Control for Treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea on the Development of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus in Pregnancy: Protocol for Feasibility Randomized Controlled Trial

Treatment options for OSA in non-pregnant adults include continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), weight loss, positional therapy, mandibular advancement splints, surgery (both upper airway and bariatric), and pharmacological therapies, though not all are suitable for use in pregnant populations.

Experiences of Birth Attendants on Upward Obstetric Emergency Referrals in Low- and Middle-Income Countries: Protocol for a Scoping Review

Experiences of Birth Attendants on Upward Obstetric Emergency Referrals in Low- and Middle-Income Countries: Protocol for a Scoping Review

Alongside pregnant women, these frontline caregivers navigate the complexities of pregnancy and childbirth, often requiring swift intervention to ensure positive maternal and neonatal outcomes. However, the varying experiences of different stakeholders can negatively impact the obstetric referral process [8]. Every day, approximately 800 maternal deaths occur due to pregnancy-related causes [8], alongside 2.6 million stillbirths and 2.8 million neonatal deaths annually [9].

Informatics Interventions for Maternal Morbidity: Scoping Review

Informatics Interventions for Maternal Morbidity: Scoping Review

Thus, preexisting interventions may be more easily transferrable to pregnant populations. Second, GDM and postpartum depression can be diagnosed through routine screening, with GDM diagnosed via prenatal glucose testing and postpartum depression diagnosed using the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale. Indeed, 9.3% of interventions measured the extent/accuracy with which patients review their own biodata, including blood glucose levels.

Targeted Behavior Change Communication Using a Mobile Health Platform to Increase Uptake of Long-Lasting Insecticidal Nets Among Pregnant Women in Tanzania: Hati Salama “Secure Voucher” Study Cluster Randomized Controlled Trial

Targeted Behavior Change Communication Using a Mobile Health Platform to Increase Uptake of Long-Lasting Insecticidal Nets Among Pregnant Women in Tanzania: Hati Salama “Secure Voucher” Study Cluster Randomized Controlled Trial

Pregnant women and adolescents are at heightened risk of morbidity and mortality by malaria, with 22% of pregnant women exposed to malaria in East and Southern Africa in 2020 [1]. Malaria infection during pregnancy can result in miscarriage, premature delivery, low birth weight, or death in neonates, as well as maternal anemia and maternal death [2].

Cultural Adaptation of an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders Maternal and Child mHealth Intervention: Protocol for a Co-Design and Adaptation Research Study

Cultural Adaptation of an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders Maternal and Child mHealth Intervention: Protocol for a Co-Design and Adaptation Research Study

This contributes to poorer health outcomes experienced by Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander pregnant women, babies, and young children compared with Caucasian Australians [2,4,6]. Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander women of childbearing age (15 years and older) are overrepresented in behavioral risk factors impacting health outcomes.

We will recruit pregnant women who meet all the inclusion criteria and do not have any of the listed exclusion criteria. In Japan, most women visit an obstetrical clinic between 5 weeks and 8 weeks of gestation. After confirming the eligibility criteria, we will register pregnant women.

Exploring User Experiences of the Mom2B mHealth Research App During the Perinatal Period: Qualitative Study

Exploring User Experiences of the Mom2B mHealth Research App During the Perinatal Period: Qualitative Study

We stratified the cohort into 4 categories based on participants’ perinatal status (pregnant or postpartum at the time of recruitment) and whether or not they reported recently experiencing depression symptoms (women were considered depressed if their latest EPDS score on the app was 12 or above and considered as not depressed if the score was 10 or below). We aimed for focus groups of 5 to 6 participants, with an equal distribution of women from all 4 stratification categories in each focus group.
