Mazumder S, Taneja S, Dube B, et al. - Researchers examined how community-initiated kangaroo mother care provided to babies weighing 1500–2250 g affects neonatal and infant survival. They conducted a randomized controlled, superiority trial, at Haryana, India, including babies weighing 1,500–2,250 g at home within 72 h of birth, if not already initiated in kangaroo mother care, irrespective of place of birth (ie, home or health facility) and who were stable and feeding. They performed the random assignment of 8,402 eligible infants in households; of these, 4,480 were assigned to the intervention group and 3,922 to the control group. Observations revealed a substantial improvement in newborn baby and infant survival with the implementation of community-initiated kangaroo mother care. Hence, neonatal and infant mortality could substantially be reduced in low-income and middle-income countries via incorporating kangaroo mother care for all infants with low birthweight, irrespective of place of birth.
