 136 million babies are born annually, and around 10 million require assistance to breathe. Each year, 814,000 neonatal deaths result from intrapartum-related events in term babies, previously birth asphyxia, and 1.03 million from complications of prematurity. No systematic assessment of mortality reduction from tactile stimulation or resuscitation has been published. The objective of this study is to estimate the mortality effect of immediate newborn assessment and stimulation, and basic resuscitation on neonatal deaths due to term intrapartum-related events or pre-term birth, for facility and home births. The study conducted systematic reviews for studies reporting relevant mortality or morbidity outcomes. Evidence was assessed using great criteria adapted to provide a systematic approach to mortality effect estimates for the live-saved tool list. Meta-analysis was performed if appropriate. For interventions with low quality evidence but strong recommendation for implementation, a Delphi panel was convened to estimate effect size. The study identified 24 studies of neonatal resuscitation reporting mortality outcomes, but none of immediate newborn assessment and stimulation alone. A meta-analysis of three facility-based studies examined the effect of resuscitation training on intrapartum-related neonatal deaths, r equals 0.70, 95 per cent Ci 0.59 to 0.84. This estimate was used for the effect of facility-based basic NE. This article was authored by Carlo Waldemar A, Darmstadt-Garriel, Nehemiah Season, and others.
