Perinatal mortality in eastern Africa: A systematic review and meta‐analysis
Abstract Background Every day, over 5000 stillbirths and more than 6000 newborn deaths are estimated to occur worldwide, the majority in sub‐Saharan Africa and South Asia. Estimates, however, rely on data that might underestimate these deaths. Further, outside major categories such as preterm birth, infection, and complications at delivery, little is ...

Previable PROM in twins: A systematic review and meta‐analysis
Abstract Background Previable prelabor rupture of membranes (PROM) in twin pregnancies is a rare but high‐risk condition associated with substantial neonatal mortality and maternal morbidity. Management options include expectant management and selective reduction, though guidance is limited and based primarily on singleton data.

Abstract Objective A single oral dose of azithromycin (AZM) given during labor to women planning a vaginal delivery reduced maternal infections including sepsis, with a stronger effect in sub‐Saharan Africa than South Asia. Since maternal infection contributes to labor dysfunction and postpartum hemorrhage (PPH), we evaluated the effect of AZM on the ...

Therapeutic role of nifedipine in threatened preterm labor: Current evidence and future perspectives
Abstract Preterm birth occurs in approximately 10% of all pregnancies, and is not only the leading cause of neonatal mortality but also a major contributor to short‐ and long‐term morbidities due to immaturity. Preterm birth has also been linked to an increased risk of maternal cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, making it a critical concern ...
