Outcome(s)<br />

Routine daily and weekly perinatal audit.<br />

were indicated by name.<br />

Introduction of a registration system <strong>for</strong><br />

births and deaths, including causes of death.<br />

Findings summary<br />

Appendix 4.4<br />

Perinatal mortality showed a significant but<br />

transient change during the observation<br />

period 1982-1991.<br />

Neonatal mortality decreased from 56/1,000<br />

live births in 1985 to 11/1,000 in 1993.<br />

Positive decrease in newborn deaths in<br />

babies weighing >2kg attributed to the nurse<br />

training.<br />

Reduction in perinatal and neonatal<br />

mortality from 9.9 per 1,000 live births to<br />

3.4 per 1,000 live births.<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 />
