These projections of future financial costs may be used as a starting point for mobilizing global resources and serve as goals towards which countries, donors and multilateral agencies can direct their plans.
Abstract
These projections of future financial costs may be used as a starting point for mobilizing global resources. Countries will have to further refine these estimates, but these figures may serve as goals towards which donors can direct their plans. Further research is needed to measure the costs of health system reforms, such as recruiting, training and retaining a sufficient number of personnel.

Maternal mortality in 2000: estimates developed by WHO, UNICEF and UNFPA.
737 Citations2004Carla AbouZahr, Tessa Wardlaw
The rationale for the development of estimates of maternal mortality is presented along with a description of the process through which this was accomplished for the year 2000 and some of the pitfalls that may be encountered in attempting to use the estimates to draw conclusions about trends are pointed out.
Cochrane Database of Systematic ReviewsAntibiotics for treating bacterial vaginosis in pregnancy
612 Citations2013Peter Brocklehurst, Adrienne Gordon +2 more
Antibiotic therapy was shown to be effective at eradicating bacterial vaginosis during pregnancy, and treatment before 20 weeks' gestation did not reduce the risk of PTB less than 37 weeks, however these represent relatively small differences in the clinical setting.

Routine prescription of antibiotics for women with preterm rupture of the membranes is associated with prolongation of pregnancy and improvements in a number of short-term neonatal morbidities, but no significant reduction in perinatal mortality.

Routine 'active management' is superior to 'expectant management' in terms of blood loss, post partum haemorrhage and other serious complications of the third stage of labour.

The use of antibiotics following preterm prelabour rupture of membranes (pPROM) is associated with a statistically significant reduction in maternal infection after delivery prior to discharge and there are fewer data relating to specific antibiotics.

The purpose of the work described in this paper, a modelling exercise, was to use the data collected across countries to predict unit costs in countries for which data are not yet available, with the appropriate uncertainty intervals.
Cochrane Database of Systematic ReviewsInterventions to help external cephalic version for breech presentation at term
158 Citations2004G Justus Hofmeyr, Gillian ML Gyte
Routine tocolysis appears to reduce the failure rate of external cephalic version at term, and there is not enough evidence to evaluate the use of fetal acoustic stimulation in midline fetal spine positions, nor of epidural or spinal analgesia.

Little evidence is provided that screening and treating all pregnant women with asymptomatic bacterial vaginosis will prevent preterm birth and its consequences, and there is some suggestion that treatment of bacterialvaginosis may reduce the risk of preterm prelabour rupture of membranes and low birthweight.

A costing model was developed to estimate the financial resources needed in 75 countries to scale up priority interventions that address the major causes of mortality among children aged < 5 years, including malnutrition, pneumonia, diarrhoea, malaria and key newborn causes of death such as sepsis.

Vaccinating every pregnant woman with at least one dose of TT would be an affordable and effective way to protect against neonatal tetanus, and would be a step toward eliminating the deaths that continue to occur due to this preventable disease in Turkey.
