Abstract Background Immediate newborn care (INC) practices, notably early initiation of breastfeeding (EIBF), are fundamental for newborn health. However, coverage tracking currently relies on household survey data in many settings. “Every Newborn Birth Indicators Research Tracking in Hospitals” (EN-BIRTH) was an observational study validating selected maternal and newborn health indicators. This paper reports results for EIBF. Methods The EN-BIRTH study was conducted in five public hospitals in Bangladesh, Nepal, and Tanzania, from July 2017 to July 2018. Clinical observers collected tablet-based, time-stamped data on EIBF and INC practices (skin-to-skin within 1 h of birth, drying, and delayed cord clamping). To assess validity of EIBF measurement, we compared observation as gold standard to register records and women’s exit-interview survey reports. Percent agreement was used to assess agreement between EIBF and INC practices. Kaplan Meier survival curves showed timing. Qualitative interviews were conducted to explore barriers/enablers to register recording. Results Coverage of EIBF among 7802 newborns observed for ≥1 h was low (10.9, 95% CI 3.8–21.0). Survey-reported (53.2, 95% CI 39.4–66.8) and register-recorded results (85.9, 95% CI 58.1–99.6) overestimated coverage compared to observed levels across all hospitals. Registers did not capture other INC practices apart from breastfeeding. Agreement of EIBF with other INC practices was high for skin-to-skin (69.5–93.9%) at four sites, but fair/poor for delayed cord-clamping (47.3–73.5%) and drying (7.3–29.0%). EIBF and skin-to-skin were the most delayed and EIBF rarely happened after caesarean section (0.5–3.6%). Qualitative findings suggested that focusing on accuracy, as well as completeness, contributes to higher quality with register reporting. Conclusions Our study highlights the importance of tracking EIBF despite measurement challenges and found low coverage levels, particularly after caesarean births. Both survey-reported and register-recorded data over-estimated coverage. EIBF had a strong agreement with skin-to-skin but is not a simple tracer for other INC indicators. Other INC practices are challenging to measure in surveys, not included in registers, and are likely to require special studies or audits. Continued focus on EIBF is crucial to inform efforts to improve provider practices and increase coverage. Investment and innovation are required to improve measurement.

Abstract Background: RCTs with complex interventions are methodically challenging. Careful planning under everyday conditions in compliance with the relevant international quality standard (ICH-GCP guideline) is crucial. Specific challenges exist for RCTs conducted in delivery rooms due to various factors that cannot be planned beforehand, such as “peak hours” of births and a high work burden for midwives and obstetricians. Moreover, in Germany as well as in other countries, midwives and obstetricians have frequently little experience as investigators in clinical trials. Methods: The randomised controlled trial “BE-UP” tests the effectiveness of an alternative birthing room on the rate of vaginal births and woman-oriented outcomes. In the process of implementing the trial in 17 obstetrical units and in the endeavour to reach the calculated sample size of 3,800 women, the research team encountered a variety of unexpected challenges. The aim is to describe in greater detail the methodical and organisational challenges and to inform about the research team’s strategies to overcome them.Results:The results are presented in five sectors: 1) Selection of and support for cooperating hospitals: they are to be selected according to predefined criteria and strategies to offer continuous support in trial implementation must be mapped out.2) Establishing a process of requesting informed consent: a quality-assured process to inform pregnant women early on must be feasible and effective. 3) Individual, digital real time randomization: besides instructing the maternity teams appropriate measures for technical failure must be provided.4) The standardized birthing room: the complex intervention is to be implemented according to study protocol, yet adapted to the prevailing conditions in the delivery rooms.5) GCP-compliant documentation: midwives and obstetricians is to be instructed in high quality data collection, supported by external monitoring throughout the trial.Conclusion:Since not all potential challenges can be anticipated in the planning of a trial, study teams need to be flexible and react promptly to any problems that threaten recruitment or the implementation of the complex intervention. Thought should be given to the perspectives of midwives and obstetricians as recruiters and how clinic-intern processes could be adapted to correspond with the trial’s requirements.
