The nexus between maternal antenatal care attendance, newborn postnatal care and neonatal mortality in India: a matched case-control study.

Introduction: Our study examines the relationship between newborn postnatal care and neonatal mortality stratified by maternal antenatal care attendance under a matched case-control framework.

Methods: Data from the fifth round of the National Family Health Survey was used. A total of 172,079 recent births to eligible women (15-49 years) in five years preceding the survey were included in the study.

Survival among children under-five in India: a parametric multilevel survival approach.

Background: Many studies have been conducted on under-five mortality in India and most of them focused on the associations between individual-level factors and under-five mortality risks. On the contrary, only a scarce number of literatures talked about contextual level effect on under-five mortality. Hence, it is very important to have thorough study of under-five mortality at various levels.

Projecting stunting and wasting under alternative scenarios in Odisha, India, 2015-2030: a Lives Saved Tool (LiST)-based approach.

Objective: Although nutrition-specific interventions are designed based on maternal, household and community-level correlates, no attempt has been made to project stunting and wasting and identify intervention priorities in India. The objective of this paper is to model the stunting and wasting in the state of Odisha, India by scaling up maternal and child health interventions under alternative scenarios.

Design: This study primarily used data from National Family Health Survey 4, 2015-2016.
