The Mean

The present study deals with the estimation of the mean value of fecundability by fitting a theoretical distribution from the observed distribution of first conception of the women, who did not use any contraceptive method before their first conception. It is assumed that fecundability is fixed for a given couple, but across couples it varies according to a specified distribution. Under the classical approach, methods of moment and maximum likelihood are used while for Bayesian approach, empirical Bayes method used. A real data analysis from the third National Family Health Survey (NFHS-III, 2005-06) is analyzed as an application of model for various age at marriage groups of women. Finally, a simulation study is performed to access the performance of the several of methods used in this paper.Journal of Institute of Science and Technology, 2015, 20(1): 51-58

Summary.Most studies of closed birth intervals are regarding their variation at specific orders among females. This paper attempts to study the nature of the distributions of consecutive closed birth intervals. Data from the Uttar Pradesh National Family Health Survey 1998–99 (NFHS-2) were analysed. It was found that, under certain assumptions, the postpartum amenorrhoea period and menstruating interval are negatively associated, indicating that socio-cultural factors are affecting the menstruating interval.

And Child Health

Mother needs special medical care during pregnancy, delivery, and after delivery; as a mother, she is more prone to adverse health outcomes or death due to the unsafe and unhygienic methods of managing pregnancy and childbirth. According to the World Health Organization reports, globally, 0.53 million maternal deaths occur annually, out of which 0.12 million (22%) deaths occur only in India. A newborn child needs regular health check-ups as well as nutrition supplements to avoid deficiency diseases and illness. Child health is a foundation for adult health and well-being; therefore, it is imperative to certify good health. Healthy children assure healthy adults who, in turn, ensure good progress and development of the Country (Usmani and Ahmad, 2017). According to NHM, around 81% of under-five child death occurs in one year of birth that marks approximately 10.5 lakh newborn demises; however, 57% of under-five deaths occur in the first one month of life, constituting 7.3 lakh neo-natal deaths annually within the Country. Data and methods: data from National Family Health Survey-4 (2015-2016) on maternal and child health indicators for 75 districts of Uttar Pradesh state were used. Spatial analysis namely Moran\'s-I and LISA were applied to evaluate the maternal and child health indicators through all the districts of the state. Result: Each indicator portrayed prominent coverage variation across the Uttar Pradesh districts in this analysis. Among all the districts, the lowest ANC occurrence was observed mainly in the central part, PNC in the eastern region, SBA in 20 districts mainly of the western and eastern part. The prevalence of full immunization among the children was very high, primarily in the districts of the East region; high PNC among the children was perceived in the districts of eastern, central, and Bundelkhand part of the state. PNC prevalence among the women was found to be highest in the western part of Uttar Pradesh.

Abstract Background In recent years India has made groundbreaking progress in achieving universal institutional deliveries however the country failed to mirror this success in the postnatal period too. Method Data is utilized from nationally representative survey National Family Health Survey (2015-16). A quantitative analysis of available information is presented here. Results According to National family health survey (2015-16), 83% women received antenatal care (ANC) at least once, 79% had institutional delivery and only 65% had post-natal check-up. Surprisingly, postnatal-checkup was not universal even among mothers who had c-sections, around 10-15% women who had c-section did not receive post-natal check. The PNC coverage was worse in the states with high maternal mortality- Assam, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh. PNC was lowest among home deliveries followed by deliveries in sub-center health facilities. Conclusion Though a pool of data is available on coverage and quality of care on different components of antenatal care and child-delivery very little evidence is available on the frequency of contact and quality of postnatal care. One of the major contributor of maternal deaths in India is postpartum hemorrhage. Yet it is the postpartum period when coverage and programs are at their lowest along the continuum of care. Key messages Above mentioned evidence calls for focus on comprehensive PNC package, evidence generation on PNC care and improving linkages between deliveries at home/lower levels facilities and PNC.

Opportunity Gaps

ObjectivesExisting health and community nutrition systems have the potential to deliver many nutrition interventions. However, the coverage of nutrition interventions across the delivery platforms of these systems has not been uniform. We (1) examined the opportunity gaps between delivery platforms and corresponding nutrition interventions through the continuum of care in India between 2006 and 2016 and and (2) assessed inequalities in these opportunity gaps.MethodsWe used two rounds of the National Family Health Survey data from 2005 to 2006 and 2015–2016 (n=36 850 and 190 898 mother–child dyads, respectively). We examine the opportunity gaps over time for seven nutrition interventions and their associated delivery platforms at national and state levels. We assessed equality and changes in equality between 2006 and 2016 for opportunity gaps by education, residence, socioeconomic status (SES), public and private platforms.ResultsCoverage of nutrition interventions was consistently lower than the reach of their associated delivery platforms; opportunity gaps ranging from 9 to 32 percentage points (pp) during the pregnancy, 17 pp during delivery and 9–26 pp during childhood in 2006. Between 2006 and 2016, coverage improved for most indicators, but coverage increases for nutrition interventions was lower than for associated delivery platforms. The opportunity gaps were larger among women with higher education (22–57 pp in 2016), higher SES status and living in urban areas (23–57 pp), despite higher coverage of most interventions and the delivery platforms among these groups. Opportunity gaps vary tremendously by state with the highest gaps observed in Tripura, Andaman and Nicobar islands, and Punjab for different indicators.ConclusionsIndia’s progress in coverage of health and nutrition interventions in the last decade is promising, but both opportunity and equality gaps remained. It is critical to close these gaps by addressing policy and programmatic delivery systems bottlenecks to achieve universal coverage for both health and nutrition within the delivery system.

The Relationship

SummaryUsing data from India’s National Family Health Survey, 2005–06 (NFHS-3), this article examines the patterns of relationship between birth order and infant mortality. The analysis controls for a number of variables, including mother’s characteristics such as age at the time of survey, current place of residence (urban/rural), years of schooling, religion, caste, and child’s sex and birth weight. A modest J-shaped relationship between birth order of children and their risk of dying in the neonatal period is found, suggesting that although both first- and last-born children are at a significantly greater risk of dying compared with those in the middle, last-borns (i.e. fourth and higher order births) are at the worst risk. However, in the post-neonatal period first-borns are not as vulnerable, but the risk increases steadily with the addition of successive births and last-borns are at much greater risk, even worse than those in the neonatal period. Although the strength of relationship between birth order and mortality is attenuated after the potential confounders are taken into account, the relationship between the two variables remains curvilinear in the neonatal period and direct in the post-neonatal period. There are marked differences in these patterns by the child’s sex. While female children are less prone to the risk of dying in the neonatal period in comparison with male children, the converse is true in the post-neonatal period. Female children not only run higher risks of dying in the post-neonatal period, but also become progressively more vulnerable with an increase in birth order.
