Findings summary<br />

Appendix 4.2<br />

The reduction in post-neonatal mortality<br />

was not significant.<br />

Mortality was lower <strong>for</strong> BCG-vaccinated<br />

than <strong>for</strong> unvaccinated LBW children<br />

controlling <strong>for</strong> available background<br />

factors. The beneficial effect on survival<br />

may not be explained by protection against<br />

tuberculosis.<br />

A significant reduction in mortality due to<br />

sepsis was not demonstrated in preterm<br />

infants treated by topical therapy with SSO<br />

in Egypt.<br />

Both sesame seed oil (SSO) and Aquaphor<br />

significantly reduced mortality rates among<br />

preterm hospitalised infants with<br />

gestational age of 33 weeks in Bangladesh.<br />

Topical therapy with SSO or Aquaphor was<br />

highly cost-effective in reducing deaths<br />

from infection among the preterm neonates<br />

in Bangladesh.<br />

No benefit of cleansing on mother-to-child<br />

transmission (MTCT) of HIV, perinatal<br />

mortality or infant mortality.<br />

What are the effects of different models of delivery <strong>for</strong> improving maternal and infant health outcomes <strong>for</strong> poor people in urban areas in low income<br />

and lower middle income countries?<br />
