Women with
Caesarean section
Assistant medical officers were employed
to support EmOC and the study compares
outcomes of Caesareans by medical officers
with those performed by obstetricians.

TBAs in home deliveries to improve
perinatal outcomes consisting of 0.6%
chlorhexidine vaginal and neonatal wipes.

Appendix 4.1
No significant differences in the number
of maternal deaths, in the duration of
post-operative hospital stay, in the
indications for Caesarean delivery, or
the surgical interventions associated
with Caesarean delivery between the
two groups. The only significant
difference was in superficial wound
separation due to haematoma, which
was slightly more common (0.35% vs
0.05%) in the group operated on by
assistant medical officers (odds ratio
2.2; 95% confidence interval 1.3-3.9).
Use of 0.6% chlorhexidine vaginal and
neonatal wipes for the prevention of
neonatal infection is well tolerated and
seems safe. Not powered to show
differences in mortality.
Perinatal mortality showed a significant
but transient change during the
observation period 1982-1991.
What are the effects of different models of delivery for improving maternal and infant health outcomes for poor people in urban areas in low income
and lower middle income countries?
