Introduction: Near-term and intrapartum care play pivotal roles in ensuring a safe childbirth experience and are essential components of a comprehensive approach to maternal and neonatal health.
Methods: The following interventions were identified: antibiotics for preterm premature rupture of membrane, antenatal corticosteroids for fetal lung maturation, partograph use during labor and delivery, induction of labor at or post term, skilled birth care and safe childbirth checklist during labor and delivery. A scoping exercise was conducted to ascertain the most up-to-date evidence, and reviews of topics of interest were updated in case the evidence was not recent, with a focus on low- and middle- income countries (LMICs).

Background: Prematurity is linked to diverse and significant health outcomes, but a comprehensive understanding of its long-term multisystem impacts remains limited.
Methods: Retrospective longitudinal cohort study on 417 preterm children born between 2000 and 2015 explores the incidence, dynamics, and interrelationships of health conditions from infancy to adolescence. Data on 1818 diagnoses, categorised by birth weight (BW) and gestational age (GA) and documented according to ICD-10, were analysed using non-parametric tests and negative binomial regression models.
