Estimating maternal mortality using data from national civil registration vital statistics systems: A Bayesian hierarchical bivariate random walk model to estimate sensitivity and specificity of reporting [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 Civil registration vital statistics (CRVS) data are used to produce national estimates of maternal mortality, but are often subject to substantial reporting errors due to misclassification of maternal deaths. The accuracy of CRVS systems can be assessed by comparing CRVS-based counts of maternal and non-maternal deaths to those obtained from ...

A Bayesian approach to the global estimation of maternal mortality [PDF]
arXiv, 2015 The maternal mortality ratio (MMR) is defined as the number of maternal deaths in a population per 100,000 live births. Country-specific MMR estimates are published on a regular basis by the United Nations Maternal Mortality Estimation Inter-agency Group (UN MMEIG) to track progress in reducing maternal deaths and to evaluate regional and national ...

Missed calls, Automated Calls and Health Support: Using AI to improve maternal health outcomes by increasing program engagement [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 India accounts for 11% of maternal deaths globally where a woman dies in childbirth every fifteen minutes. Lack of access to preventive care information is a significant problem contributing to high maternal morbidity and mortality numbers, especially in low-income households. We work with ARMMAN, a non-profit based in India, to further the use of call-

Variable Selection for Causal Inference via Outcome-Adaptive Random Forest [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Estimating a causal effect from observational data can be biased if we do not control for self-selection. This selection is based on confounding variables that affect the treatment assignment and the outcome. Propensity score methods aim to correct for confounding. However, not all covariates are confounders.

Dependence on a collection of Poisson random variables [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 We propose two novel ways of introducing dependence among Poisson counts through the use of latent variables in a three levels hierarchical model. Marginal distributions of the random variables of interest are Poisson with strict stationarity as special case.

Estimating the timing of stillbirths in countries worldwide using a Bayesian hierarchical penalized splines regression model [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Reducing the global burden of stillbirths is important to improving child and maternal health. Of interest is understanding patterns in the timing of stillbirths -- that is, whether they occur in the intra- or antepartum period -- because stillbirths that occur intrapartum are largely preventable. However, data availability on the timing of stillbirths
