Randomised Comparison Of Two Household Survey Modules For Measuring Stillbirths And Neonatal Deaths In Five Countries: The Every Newborn-INDEPTH Study

Abstract
An estimated 5ยท1 million stillbirths and neonatal deaths occur annually. Household surveys, most notably the Demographic and Health Survey (DHS), run in more than 90 countries and are the main data source from the highest burden regions, but data-quality concerns remain. We aimed to compare two questionnaires: a full birth history module with additional questions on pregnancy losses (FBH+; the current DHS standard) and a full pregnancy history module (FPH), which collects information on all livebirths, stillbirths, miscarriages, and neonatal deaths.
