Background: Interpreting services bridge language barriers that may prevent patients and clinicians from understanding each other, impacting quality of care and health outcomes. Despite this, there is limited up-to-date evidence regarding the barriers to and facilitators of uptake in primary care. The aim of this study was to ascertain current national uptake and experience of interpreting services in primary care (general practice) by South Asian communities in England.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: Training health workers might facilitate respectful maternity care (RMC); however, the content and design of RMC training remain unclear.
Objective: To explore the content and design of RMC training packages for health workers in sub-Saharan Africa.
Search Strategy: MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL Complete, Web of Science Core Collections, SCOPUS, and grey literature sources (including websites of RMC-focused key organizations and Ministries of Health) were searched for journal papers, reports, and training guides from January 2006 up to August 2022.
Objective: To compare stillbirth rates and risks for small for gestational age (SGA), large for gestational age (LGA) and appropriate for gestational age (AGA) pregnancies at 24-44 completed weeks of gestation using a birth-based and fetuses-at-risk approachs.
Design: Population-based, multi-country study.
Setting: National data systems in 15 high- and middle-income countries.
Objective: To examine the contribution of preterm birth and size-for-gestational age in stillbirths using six 'newborn types'.
Design: Population-based multi-country analyses.
Setting: Births collected through routine data systems in 13 countries.
Article Synopsis
- - The study analyzed data from 115.6 million live births across 15 countries from 2000 to 2020 to assess the prevalence and neonatal mortality rates associated with large for gestational age (LGA) and macrosomia.
- - Results indicated that LGA babies (those above the 90th percentile) had a lower risk of neonatal mortality compared to appropriate for gestational age (AGA) infants, while overall macrosomia (≥4000 g) also did not show increased mortality risk, except for higher weight categories.
- - The findings suggest that a birthweight of ≥4500 g is a key indicator for increased early mortality risk in larger infants, which could help inform clinical decisions regarding their care. *
