Preterm birth is a major cause of child mortality and morbidity, most of which occurs in
south-east Asia and sub-Saharan Africa. To date few neonatal cause of death studies,
especially in low- and middle-income countries have determined the specific causes of preterm
death, instead attributing all neonatal deaths of infants born at less than 37 weeks to
prematurity. Infections are responsible for a large proportion of these deaths but because of
complexity and costs associated with testing, little is known about the prevalence of
infection-related deaths in preterm infants or the specific pathogens associated with
mortality.
The primary objective of this study is to determine the cause of deaths among preterm births
and stillbirths. Secondary outcomes include determining the specific pathogens responsible
for infection-related deaths, potential preventability of these deaths and interventions
which may reduce mortality. One site in India and one in Pakistan will include a total sample
size of 700 (350 stillbirths and 350 preterm neonatal deaths) for 1,400 cases to be included
in the cause of death analyses. All women who deliver a preterm birth or a stillbirth at the
study hospitals will be eligible for inclusion. Among those who consent, an obstetric
history, clinical obstetric and (if applicable) neonatal care will be collected as well as
research investigations including ultrasound, x-ray, microbiology and minimally invasive
tissue sampling and autopsy will be collected.
This study will align with other efforts to determine cause of death among infants and
children and ultimately the results will inform future interventions to reduce neonatal
mortality and stillbirth. The researchers emphasize that this study, with its focus on
preterm neonatal mortality and stillbirth, will provide information not available elsewhere.
