Study Objective: Stillbirth is burdensome in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs), especially in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. Currently, there are two core outcome sets (COS) for stillbirth (prevention and bereavement care), but these were developed with limited reflection of the needs of parents in an LMIC setting. To address this gap, the objective of this study was to establish consensus on the most important outcomes for stillbirth prevention and bereavement care following stillbirth in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia.

Increasing global temperatures due to climate change have raised serious concerns regarding its potential impact on health outcomes. Pregnant women and their fetuses are among the most vulnerable groups being affected by these dramatic changes resulting in adverse outcomes for both the mother and the developing fetus. Evidence regarding heat-related pregnancy adversities in high-income countries is conclusive, however, such evidence is rare in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).

Climate change has severe and wide-ranging health impacts, especially for vulnerable groups. Despite growing evidence of heat-associated adverse maternal and neonatal health outcomes, there remains a lack of synthesis quantifying associations and identifying specific risk periods. We systematically reviewed the literature on heat impacts on maternal, fetal and neonatal health and quantified impacts through meta-analyses.
