    Objective A multi‐centre international trial (A‐PLUS), demonstrated that a single dose of 2 g oral azithromycin in labour reduced the risk of maternal sepsis or death, but not neonatal mortality. We aimed to determine whether the efficacy of azithromycin in prevention of any maternal infection or neonatal infection varied by time interval from azithromycin administration to delivery. Design This is a secondary analysis of a randomized controlled trial. Setting Multi‐centre international randomized controlled trial. Population Pregnant patients ≥ 28 weeks gestation (singleton or multiple gestation) presenting in labour for planned vaginal delivery. Outcomes The primary outcome for this secondary analysis was maternal infection and the secondary outcome was any neonatal infection. Methods The estimated relative risks (and 95% confidence interval) of any maternal or neonatal infection comparing azithromycin to placebo were obtained by fitting a Poisson model adjusting for site, treatment arm, hours between drug administration and delivery (as continuous measure, and ≤ 12 or > 12 h for maternal and ≤ 9 or > 9 h for neonatal), and the two‐way interaction between treatment arm and hours between drug administration and delivery. Results Included in the analysis were n = 14 569 randomized to azithromycin and n = 14 667 to placebo. There was no evidence that the benefit of azithromycin on reducing the risk of any maternal infection varied by time from dose to delivery (RR 0.71 (0.64–0.79) and RR 0.71 (0.54–0.94) for ≤ 12 and > 12 h respectively, interaction p = 0.987), although there was an observed interaction in Sub‐Saharan Africa subgroup with reduced risk observed with administration > 12 vs. ≤ 12 (RR 0.21 (0.08–0.54) vs. RR 0.52 (0.41–0.66), interaction p = 0.03). There was no benefit observed in prevention of infant infection regardless of time from dose to delivery (≤ 9 or > 9 h) (RR 1.00 (0.95–1.06) and RR 1.01 (0.88–1.15) interaction p = 0.997). Conclusion The benefit observed with a single intrapartum dose of azithromycin for prevention of any maternal infection in the setting of planned vaginal delivery was not observed to vary by time interval from azithromycin administration to delivery, although in some populations there may be greater benefit with delivery > 12 h from administration. Pregnant patients presenting for planned vaginal birth benefit from a single dose of 2 g azithromycin regardless of how soon delivery is anticipated.

    Background Prophylactic oral azithromycin vs. placebo reduced maternal, but not neonatal, mortality/sepsis in the A-PLUS Randomized Trial. While prophylactic intrapartum azithromycin reduces maternal mortality/sepsis, it may promote antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in commensal bacteria,. Methods Randomly selected women and their infants participating in A-PLUS were enrolled in a longitudinal cross-sectional sub-study to assess the presence of azithromycin resistance in selected bacteria in nasal cultures. Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pneumoniae were cultured on selective agar, then azithromycin-containing agar to select for azithromycin resistant bacteria, identified biochemically. Azithromycin susceptibility was assessed by E-test. Nasal cultures were collected from women and infants between August 11, 2021 and September 18, 2023 during labor/day 1, day 7, 6 weeks, and 3, 6 and 12 months after delivery. Results The study enrolled 911 women and 915 liveborn infants at 8 sites in 7 countries. Azithromycin resistance in S aureus was higher and azithromycin susceptibility was lower in women receiving azithromycin compared with those receiving placebo on day 7 (P < 0.001), 6 weeks (P < 0.001) and 3 months (P = 0.009) after delivery. Azithromycin resistance in S aureus was also higher and azithromycin susceptibility was lower 6 weeks after delivery (P < 0.001) in infants born to women receiving azithromycin, Azithromycin resistance in S. pneumoniae was too sparse to interpret. Conclusions There was an increase in prevalence of azithromycin resistance (or reduction in azithromycin susceptibility) in commensal nasal S. aureus between day 7, 6 weeks and 3 months in women exposed to azithromycin vs. placebo and only at 6 weeks in infants exposed to azithromycin vs. placebo. These differences between the azithromycin and placebo groups were no longer detected at 6 and 12 months post-partum in the women and after 6 weeks through 12 months in the infants.

    Objectives Stillbirth, often a consequence of pregnancies complicated by disorders such as gestational hypertension, is a condition insufficiently addressed in resource‐limited countries. Developing new methods for early detection and management of gestational hypertension can help reduce stillbirths and associated adverse pregnancy outcomes by enabling timely interventions for high‐risk pregnancies. As cytokines are implicated in hypertension, we proposed to evaluate the association of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF‐α) and interleukin‐6 (IL‐6) with stillbirths among women affected by pregnancy‐induced hypertensive disorders. Methods Our case–control study constituted a total of 150 pre‐delivery samples: 50 of them from women who experienced stillbirths were taken as cases, 50 from women who had preterm livebirths were taken as preterm controls, and 50 from those who had a term livebirth were taken as term controls. These samples were selected through computer‐generated random selection from the overall population. The cytokine profile in maternal serum was measured using sandwich ELISA. Results The TNF‐α findings revealed statistically significant differences between the stillbirths (median [ Q 1 , Q 3 ]: 349 [168, 415]), preterm livebirths (median [ Q 1 , Q 3 ]: 223 [120, 384]), and term livebirths (median [ Q 1 , Q 3 ]: 221 [100, 311]) ( P = 0.02). Conversely, results obtained for IL‐6 demonstrated statistically significant differences between the stillbirths (median [ Q 1 , Q 3 ]: 117 [20, 220]) and preterm controls (median [ Q 1 , Q 3 ]: 22 [17, 63]) ( P = 0.001). However, no statistically significant difference was observed between the stillbirths and the term controls (median [ Q 1, Q 3]: 63 [28, 127]). Conclusion Tumor necrosis factor alpha was found to be strongly associated with risk of stillbirth, whereas IL‐6 showed a moderate association.

    Journal of Perinatal Medicine, 2026
    Objectives Fetal death is a major pregnancy complication, with rates of 5.5 per 1,000 births in the United States and substantially higher in India (24.7/1,000) and Pakistan (44.5/1,000). Maternal vascular malperfusion (MVM) is the most frequent placental lesion associated with fetal death, occurring in 58 % of fetal deaths and 31 % of preterm neonatal deaths in South Asia. Angiogenic imbalance, characterized by a low placental growth factor (PlGF) to soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1 (sFlt-1) ratio, has been associated with MVM and fetal death in high-income countries. We examined whether maternal serum concentrations of PlGF, sFlt-1, and their ratio differ between mothers with and without MVM among stillbirths and preterm neonatal deaths in India and Pakistan. Methods This retrospective cohort analysis used data from the PURPOSe study (Project to Understand and Research Preterm Pregnancy Outcomes and Stillbirths in South Asia). Maternal blood was collected at delivery, and placental histopathology was classified according to the Amsterdam criteria. Serum PlGF and sFlt-1 were measured using Elecsys ® immunoassays, with analyses stratified by gestational age. Results Placental MVM was present in 44–57 % of stillbirths and 31–38 % of preterm neonatal deaths. Between 28 and 36 weeks, women with MVM had significantly lower PlGF and higher sFlt-1 and sFlt-1/PlGF ratios (p<0.001). A tenfold decrease in PlGF or increase in the ratio was associated with MVM (OR 0.5 and 1.7, respectively). Conclusions The maternal sFlt-1/PlGF ratio identifies pregnancies with fetal or neonatal death associated with placental MVM, particularly between 28 and 36 weeks’ gestation.

    Introduction Nearly half of all perinatal deaths occur during the intrapartum period due to inadequate labor monitoring and intervention. The partograph, a paper‐based labor monitoring tool, can assist providers in recognizing and acting on early signs of fetal–maternal distress if used effectively. In 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) developed a “next generation” partograph called the Labour Care Guide. There is limited evidence of how to optimize the use and impact of this new tool. This study describes the development of a co‐designed LCG implementation strategy in Karnataka, India. Methods A targeted literature review, primary research across four public maternity hospitals (provider survey and facility assessment), and a 2‐day co‐design workshop with stakeholders were conducted. Findings were mapped to six target behaviors using the Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF) and the Capability, Opportunity, and Motivation‐Behavior (COM‐B) model to identify potential barriers and facilitators to LCG use. Consultations with local stakeholders explored these factors, and a 1‐week pilot informed final refinements of the strategy. Results The LCG implementation strategy comprised an evidence‐based provider training program centered on “low dose, high frequency” principles, and monthly audit and feedback cycles, which in turn, relies on an enabling practice environment (supportive national policy frameworks, facility‐level guidelines, external partnerships, senior support, defining provider roles and expectations and adequate equipment and resources) to support its implementation. Conclusion Effective use of the LCG needs a robust, context‐sensitive implementation strategy. We present the first evidence‐based, co‐designed LCG implementation strategy which can be used to support LCG dissemination and uptake.

    Journal of Nutrition, 2026
    BACKGROUND: Maternal selenium deficiency is hypothesized to contribute to risk of adverse outcomes including low birth weight and prematurity, possibly through its role as an antioxidant and/or in thyroid hormone function. OBJECTIVES: We assessed relationships between maternal selenium concentrations during pregnancy with offspring outcomes including birth measurements, low birth weight (<2500 g), prematurity (<37 wk), and small for gestational age (birth weight <10th percentile for gestational age). METHODS: This was a secondary analysis of the Women First Trial (NCT01883193), a randomized controlled study investigating the effect of small-quantity lipid-based nutrition supplement (sqLNS) with 130 μg selenium on fetal growth. sqLNS was started ≥3 mo prior to conception, around 12 wk of gestation, or not at all in women in Guatemala, India, and Pakistan. At 12 and 34 wk of gestation and 3 mo postpartum, maternal serum selenium was measured by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (n = 145-325 per timepoint per site). We used generalized linear models adjusted for study arm, study site, and markers of inflammation to test for associations between maternal selenium status and offspring outcomes including birth anthropometry. RESULTS: Mean selenium concentrations decreased over the course of pregnancy and were lowest 3 mo postpartum. Selenium was lowest in Pakistan and did not increase with maternal supplementation. Across all sites, we found no significant associations between maternal selenium at 12 and 34 wk with birth weight- length-, or head circumference-for-age z-scores. There were also no associations with low birth weight, small for gestational age, or prematurity. CONCLUSIONS: Maternal selenium supplementation did not impact serum concentrations, suggesting that supplementation may not overcome the impact of low intake and the high demands of pregnancy and early lactation. Larger studies in high-risk regions are needed to further clarify the relationship between maternal selenium deficiency and infant outcomes. This trial was registered at clinicaltrials.gov as NCT01883193 (registered 18 June 2013).

    BMJ Global Health, 2026
    Introduction The Women First (WF) Preconception Maternal Nutrition trial found greater benefits of small-quantity lipid-based nutrient supplements (SQ-LNS) for intrauterine growth among anaemic versus non-anaemic women at preconception. We investigated whether the benefits of SQ-LNS in improving markers of intrauterine growth occurred evenly across the mild to moderate spectrum of pre-pregnancy anaemia. Methods We analysed WF data (n=2443 maternal-newborn dyads) from Pakistan, India, Guatemala and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Women received SQ-LNS either ≥3 months preconception through pregnancy (Arm 1); starting in the late first trimester (Arm 2); or not at all (Arm 3: control), with all supplementations discontinued at delivery. The outcomes were infant weight, length and head circumference measured within 48 hours of birth, expressed as Z-scores. For each site, adjusted mean differences in the Z-scores were computed across six pre-pregnancy haemoglobin (Hb) categories (80–89, 90–99, 100–109, 110–119, 120–129, and ≥130 g/L) and pooled using meta-analysis. Results The effect of SQ-LNS on birth weight, length and head circumference varied by pre-pregnancy Hb categories. No significant differences in pooled mean Z-scores were observed for any Hb category &gt;110 g/L, and no differences were found for Arm 1 vs Arm 2 across any Hb categories. For women with Hb 90–99 g/L pooled mean differences (95% CI) in the Z-scores for length (0.60 (0.03 to 1.23)), weight (0.50 (0.11 to 0.89)) and head circumference (0.26 (0.02 to 0.51)) were greatest for Arm 1 versus Arm 3. For women with Hb 100–109 g/L in Arm 1 versus Arm 3, pooled mean difference (95% CI) in birth weight Z-scores was significantly greater (0.33 (0.24 to 0.42)). Arm 2 vs Arm 3 women with Hb 90–99 g/L had greater birth weight Z-scores (0.14 (0.05 to 0.22)). Conclusion The findings highlight the importance of identifying women preconception for whom nutrition interventions may have the greatest impact on fetal growth.

    Journal of Maternal Fetal and Neonatal Medicine, 2026
    BACKGROUND: Iron deficiency anemia in pregnancy is a significant health concern. Reticulocyte hemoglobin equivalent (Ret-He) and immature reticulocyte fraction (IRF) are emerging as early markers, yet their response to different iron therapies in pregnancy is underexplored. OBJECTIVE: To determine whether intravenous single-dose iron administration produces a more favorable effect on reticulocyte indices than oral iron therapy in anemic pregnant women. METHODS: This is a secondary analysis of the RAPIDIRON Trial, a multicenter, three-arm randomized controlled trial comparing ferric carboxymaltose (FCM), ferric derisomaltose (FDM) and standard oral ferrous sulfate. Reticulocyte hemoglobin equivalent (Ret-He), Immature Reticulocyte Fraction (IRF) and other red blood cell indices including Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV), Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin (MCH), Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin Concentration (MCHC) were measured at baseline (12-16 weeks), mid-gestation (26-30 weeks) and 42 days postpartum. Cord blood indices were assessed at delivery. RESULTS: By 26-30 weeks of gestation, iron deficient anemic women receiving IV iron demonstrated significant improvements in all red cell indices when compared to those receiving oral iron. Specifically, MCV increased by 2.87 fL (95% CI, 2.41-3.33) in the IV FDM group and 3.02 fL (95% CI, 2.54-3.49) in the IV FCM group compared to oral iron. Similarly Ret-He levels were also significantly increased in IV FDM and FCM compared to oral iron (1.32 (1.02, 1.63) and 1.31 (1.01, 1.62) respectively. By 42 days postpartum, intergroup differences in Ret-He, IRF and other parameters were no longer statistically significant, indicating that hematologic parameters had converged across treatment arms, reflecting restoration of iron homeostasis and stabilization of erythropoiesis in all groups. CONCLUSION: Intravenous iron therapy produces a more rapid and pronounced improvement in maternal red cell and reticulocyte indices than oral iron in moderately anemic pregnant women. Ret-He and IRF are emerging as early and sensitive biomarkers of iron availability and erythropoietic activity, with potential clinical utility for early detection of treatment response and optimization of iron therapy in pregnancy.

    Journal of Perinatology, 2026
    Objective To identify risk factors for bag and mask ventilation (BMV) and compare mortality outcomes between infants who did and did not receive BMV. Study design Secondary analysis of data from the seven sites of the Global Network Maternal Newborn Health registry, including fresh stillbirths and live births ≥ 1500 grams from 2017 to 2023. Results A total of 171 279 births (98.9% live births, 1.1% fresh stillbirths) were included. BMV was administered in 3.9% of cases. Maternal education, labor complications, delivery location, and prematurity were identified as major risk factors for receiving BMV. Adjusted relative risks (95% CI) for very early neonatal mortality with BMV was 26.18 (23.02–29.79), early neonatal mortality 19.08 (17.40–20.93), neonatal mortality 14.23 (13.08,15.49, mortality < 42 days 12.86 (11.84,13.97) and asphyxia-related deaths was and 2.42 (2.11, 2.77). Conclusion These finding underscore the importance of early identification of maternal and perinatal factors associated with receiving BMV to improve neonatal outcomes.

    Objective To evaluate if the effect of low‐dose aspirin (LDA) commenced between 6 and 13 weeks of gestational age (GA) on preterm delivery (PTD) is modified by total exposure. Design Post hoc analysis of a randomized controlled trial. Setting Hospitals in low‐resource settings in Africa, Asia and Latin America. Population Outcomes were obtained for 11 908/11943 women at 6 0/7 to 13 6/7 weeks' GA randomized. Methods Women received prepackaged two‐week medication allotments. Adherence was assessed by pill counts every 2 weeks. Estimated relative risk and 95% confidence interval data for each outcome at each GA of treatment initiation weeks were obtained by fitting a Poisson model to each outcome, adjusting for site, treatment arm and GA at treatment initiation. Main Outcomes Measures The primary outcome was PTD. Secondary outcomes included PTD &lt; 34 weeks and perinatal mortality including analysis by region. Results The median gestational age at treatment initiation was 10.1 weeks (IQR 8.6, 12.0). 85.5% of the mothers had over 90% adherence to treatment. For each 1 week increase of GA at treatment initiation, the treatment risk ratio did not change for PTD [RR 0.97 (95% CI, 0.93, 1.02)], PTD &lt; 34 weeks [&lt; 0.98 (0.89, 1.07)] or perinatal mortality [1.04 (0.96, 1.12)], with no evidence of effect modification. For each 5% increase in adherence, the treatment risk ratio did not change for PTD [1.01 (0.99, 1.04)], PTD &lt; 34 weeks [&lt; 0.99 (0.95, 1.03)] or perinatal mortality [1.02 (0.98, 1.06)], indicating no meaningful interaction with adherence. There was no effect modification by region. Conclusions This analysis shows that the results of PTD, PTD &lt; 34 weeks and perinatal mortality were not dependent on the timing of the initiation or adherence to treatment.
