Primary | Composite outcome of stillbirths and birth asphyxia | Stillbirths (=late foetal deaths >=1000g), subdivided into pre- and intra-hospital stillbirths (with/without positive foetal heart rate on admission). Birth asphyxia was defined as newborns with a 5-minutes Apgar score < 6. | A comparison of the baseline (Oct. 14 - Jan. '15) with 9th-12th month of the intervention (Oct. '15 - Jan. '16). | |
Secondary | Maternal death | Deaths of women at the study site while pregnant or within 42 days postpartum, from any cause related to or aggravated by pregnancy or its management. | A comparison of the baseline (Oct. 14 - Jan. '15) with 9th-12th month of the intervention (Oct. '15 - Jan. '16). | |
Secondary | Cesarean sections and vacuum extractions | A comparison of the baseline (Oct. 14 - Jan. '15) with 9th-12th month of the intervention (Oct. '15 - Jan. '16). | ||
Secondary | Process indicators of quality of intrapartum labour care | This includes partogram use, timely surveillance (of foetal heart rate, labour progress, and maternal vital signs), and oxytocin use for labour augmentation. Management is compared to pre-selected audit criteria. | A comparison of the baseline (Oct. 14 - Jan. '15) with 9th-12th month of the intervention (Oct. '15 - Jan. '16). | |
Secondary | Health providers' perception of their work situation in the labour and delivery rooms | Participant observations and in-depth interviews. | This is assessed at multiple time points throughout the study period and more in-depth after 2 years of the intervention. | |
Secondary | The women's experience of care received during delivery. | By focus group discussions. | This is assessed through community visits in January - March 2016. | |
Secondary | HALE | Cost of healthy life years gained /1,000 population /year | This will be evaluated economically after finalizing the study period. |
