Correction: The interaction between antenatal care and abnormal temperature during delivery and its relationship with postpartum care: a prospective study of 1,538 women in semi‑rural Uganda
(BMC Pregnancy Childbirth, 2022)
Background Postnatal care (PNC) is an important tool for reducing maternal and neonatal
morbidity and mortality. However, what predicts receipt and maintenance in PNC,
particularly events during pregnancy and the peripartum ...
Antenatal Care Visit Attendance Frequency and Birth Outcomes in Rural Uganda: A Prospective Cohort Study
(Maternal and Child Health Journal, 2021)
Objectives Antenatal care (ANC) is designed to improve pregnancy outcomes by providing screening and treatment for preventable and treatable diseases. However, data are lacking on whether ANC affects stillbirth risk. We ...
Building Perinatal Pathology Research Capacity in Sub-Saharan Africa
(Frontiers in Medicine, 2022-07-08)
Introduction: Over two million stillbirths and neonatal deaths occur in sub-Saharan Africa (sSA) annually. Despite multilateral efforts, reducing perinatal mortality has been slow. Although targeted pathologic investigation ...

Vaginal microbiome topic modeling of laboring Ugandan women with and without fever
(Biofilms and Microbiomes, 2020)
The composition of the maternal vaginal microbiome influences the duration of pregnancy, onset of labor, and even neonatal outcomes. Maternal microbiome research in sub-Saharan Africa has focused on non-pregnant and ...
Wireless versus routine physiologic monitoring after cesarean delivery to reduce maternal morbidity and mortality in a resource-limited setting: protocol of type 2 hybrid effectiveness-implementation study
(BMC pregnancy and childbirth, 2021)
Background: Women in sub-Saharan Africa have the highest rates of morbidity and mortality during childbirth globally. Despite increases in facility-based childbirth, gaps in quality of care at facilities have limited ...
Placental Decidual Arteriopathy and Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor A Expression Among Women With or Without Human Immunodeficiency Virus
(The Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2021)
Background. Women with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) (WHIV) are at higher risk of adverse birth outcomes. Proposed mechanisms for the increased risk include placental arteriopathy (vasculopathy) and maternal vascular ...
Altered Maternal Antibody Profiles in Women With Human Immunodeficiency Virus Drive Changes in Transplacental Antibody Transfer
(Clinical Infectious Diseases, 2022)
Background: Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)–exposed, uninfected (HEU) children have a higher risk of severe infection, but the causes are poorly understood. Emerging data point to altered antibody transfer in women with ...
Placental decidual arteriopathy and vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A) expression among women with and without HIV
(The Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2021)
Background: Women with HIV (WHIV) are at higher risk of adverse birth outcomes. Proposed mechanisms for the increased risk include placental arteriopathy (vasculopathy) and maternal vascular malperfusion (MVM) due to ...
Chronic Placental Inflammation Among Women Living With HIV in Uganda
(ournal of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndromes, 2020)
Background: HIV-exposed, uninfected (HEU) children have poorer early-life outcomes than HIV-unexposed children. The determinants of adverse health outcomes among HEU children are poorly understood but may result from chronic ...
