Measuring the impact of the network for improving quality of care for maternal, newborn, and child health: methods, findings, and lessons learned.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The network for improving quality of care for maternal, newborn and child health was established as a partnership of United Nations agencies, implementing partners, and governments in two South East Asian and eight African countries. The methodology that assessed the impact of the network over a five-year period, the results from impact analysis based on selected indicators and the challenges and limitations in collecting and interpreting such data are presented.

Methods

The impact analysis was based on three indicators (institutional maternal mortality rate, pre-discharge neonatal mortality, and obstetric case fatality rate) and seven countries. We obtained Relative Risks (RR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) from Generalized Estimating Equations Negative Binomi
