Methods: The following interventions were identified: antibiotics for preterm premature rupture of membrane, antenatal corticosteroids for fetal lung maturation, partograph use during labor and delivery, induction of labor at or post-term, skilled birth care and safe childbirth checklist during labor and delivery. A scoping exercise was conducted to ascertain the most up-to-date evidence, and reviews of topics of interest were updated in case the evidence was not recent, with a focus on low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Results: Antibiotics reduced the overall risk of neonatal infection including pneumonia (RR 0.67 [0.52 to 0.85]). LMIC evidence showed a significant effect of antenatal steroids on the risk of neonatal mortality (RR 0.64 [0.43 to 0.97]) and respiratory distress syndrome (RR 0.65 [0.44 to 0.96]). Induction of labor practices at term or post-term reduced the risk of meconium aspiration syndrome (RR 0.51 [0.34 to 0.76]). The use of the WHO childbirth checklist significantly raised the standard of preeclampsia care (OR 8.09 [2.55 to 25.63]) as well as of maternal infection management (OR 25.44 [4.09 to 158.08]). LMIC-specific evidence also demonstrated a significant reduction in the risk of stillbirth (OR 0.92 [0.87 to 0.96]). Conclusion: Further research initiatives pertaining to health interventions delivered to expectant mothers near-term or during the intrapartum period can contribute to a more inclusive understanding of health challenges in LMICs. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1159\/000543384","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,21]],"date-time":"2025-01-21T17:01:09Z","timestamp":1737478869000},"page":"42-51","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Near-Term and Intrapartum Care of Mothers for Perinatal and Newborn Outcomes"],"prefix":"10.1159","volume":"122","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0002-9692-1068","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rahima","family":"Yasin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0008-3092-6441","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maha","family":"Azhar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6853-8400","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hamna Amir","family":"Naseem","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2153-6704","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ayesha Arshad","family":"Ali","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2966-7162","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jai K.","family":"Das","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0637-599X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zulfiqar A.","family":"Bhutta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"127","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/1471-0528.15237"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/adc.2005.090308"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159\/000542754"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/14651858.CD004454.pub4"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/14651858.CD005461.pub5"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/14651858.CD004945.pub5"},{"key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0234320"},{"key":"ref8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/14651858.CD001058.pub3"},{"key":"ref9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/1471-2458-11-S3-S7"},{"key":"ref10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(14)61651-2"},{"key":"ref11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3109\/14767058.2013.832750"},{"key":"ref12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jamapediatrics.2022.0483"},{"key":"ref13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.7439\/ijbar.v3i4.398"},{"key":"ref14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4314\/ahs.v22i4.40"},{"key":"ref15","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s12884-020-02862-7"},{"key":"ref16","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJMoa1701075"},{"key":"ref17","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0231489"},{"key":"ref18","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/1471-2393-15-S2-S2"}],"container-title":["Neonatology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/karger.com\/neo\/article-pdf\/122\/Suppl.%201\/42\/4326275\/000543384.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/karger.com\/neo\/article-pdf\/122\/Suppl.%201\/42\/4326275\/000543384.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,23]],"date-time":"2025-04-23T15:08:21Z","timestamp":1745420901000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/karger.com\/article\/doi\/10.1159\/000543384"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,21]]},"references-count":18,"journal-issue":{"issue":"Suppl. 1","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,28]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,5]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1159\/000543384","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{"is-supplemented-by":[{"id-type":"doi","id":"10.6084\/m9.figshare.28246799","asserted-by":"subject"}]},"ISSN":["1661-7800","1661-7819"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1661-7800","type":"print"},{"value":"1661-7819","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,21]]}}}
