Although the effectiveness of community mobilisation and promotive care delivered by community health workers in reducing perinatal and neonatal mortality is well established, evidence in support of home-based neonatal resuscitation and infection management is mixed. We assessed the effectiveness of adding training in neonatal bag and mask resuscitation and oral antibiotic therapy for suspected neonatal infections to a basic preventive and promotive interventions package delivered by public sector community-based lady health workers (LHWs) in rural Pakistan.

公共部门卫生保健提供者提供基于家庭的治疗保健服务对新生儿生存的影响：巴基斯坦农村地区一项基于社区的整群随机试验。

尽管由社区卫生工作者提供的社区动员和促进性护理在降低围产期和新生儿死亡率方面的有效性已广为人知，但支持家庭新生儿复苏和感染管理的证据却不尽相同。我们评估了在巴基斯坦农村地区公共部门基于社区的女士卫生工作者（LHW）提供的基本预防和促进干预措施中，增加了针对新生儿疑似感染的新生儿袋和面罩复苏以及口服抗生素治疗培训的有效性。
