“…However, on the other hand, e-partograph usage during delivery could complicate things for the mother and fetus, according to the examination of the article's data. In turn, the use of the e-Partograph results in a result of 56 % (95 % CI= 27 % -73 %), a tendency away from cesarean sections [43 %to 37 % at Jessore Hospital and from 36 percent to 25 % in Kushtia Hospital] and away from preterm labor compared to the use of the paper partograph (1,17). The results of the article analysis explained the reasons for developing this application-based partograph to solve various problems that arise when using paper partographs, one of which was the very low use of paper partographs (23).…”

“…However, the use of the term was different from one another. For example, "Life Curve", mLabor, PrasavGraph, Digital Partograph, and Intrapartum Monitoring Mobile Application (DAKSH) are android-based mobile applications (8,15,16), one of the terms for the tools used for childbirth monitoring with various gadgets that may be accessed using a smartphone or tablet or other devices (e-partograph) (1,8,(17)(18)(19). digital partograph is some of the tools used based on android and Word Electric Browser (WEB), and some other names such as Web-Based Partograph and midwifery documentation use web-based (20,21).…”

“…Moreover, long labor directly results in 6-10 % of maternal and infant mortality and morbidity. One of the efforts to prevent the occurrence of morbidity and mortality in mothers and babies during childbirth is by monitoring labor and handling fast and appropriate actions (1,(5)(6)(7). Therefore, the World Health Organization (WHO) advocates a partograph to observe during labor (1).…”

Introduction: Partograph is an instrument used to monitor and prevent labor complications. Unfortunately, a large number of situations where there is limited awareness of how to use a partograph as a labor monitoring tool. One of the efforts made is to develop partographs in the form of electronic partograph (e-partograph) applications. This review aims to analyze the effectiveness and usability of electronic partograph for obstetric care.

Background The World Health Organization (WHO) published the WHO Labour Care Guide (LCG) in 2020 to support the implementation of its 2018 recommendations on intrapartum care. The WHO LCG promotes evidence-based labour monitoring and stimulates shared decision-making between maternity care providers and labouring women. There is a need to identify critical questions that will contribute to defining the research agenda relating to implementation of the WHO LCG. Methods This mixed-methods prioritization exercise, adapted from the Child Health and Nutrition Research Initiative (CHNRI) and James Lind Alliance (JLA) methods, combined a metrics-based design with a qualitative, consensus-building consultation in three phases. The exercise followed the reporting guideline for priority setting of health research (REPRISE). First, 30 stakeholders were invited to submit online ideas or questions (generation of research ideas). Then, 220 stakeholders were invited to score "research avenues" (i.e., broad research ideas that could be answered through a set of research questions) against six independent and equally weighted criteria (scoring of research avenues). Finally, a technical working group (TWG) of 20 purposively selected stakeholders reviewed the scoring, and refined and ranked the research avenues (consensus-building meeting). Results Initially, 24 stakeholders submitted 89 research ideas or questions. A list of 10 consolidated research avenues was scored by 75/220 stakeholders. During the virtual consensus-building meeting, research avenues were refined, and the top three priorities agreed upon were: (1) optimize implementation strategies of WHO LCG, (2) improve understanding of the effect of WHO LCG on maternal and perinatal outcomes, and the process and experience of labour and childbirth care, and (3) assess the effect of the WHO LCG in special situations or settings. Research avenues related to the organization of care and resource utilization ranked lowest during both the scoring and consensus-building process. Conclusion This systematic and transparent process should encourage researchers, program implementers, and funders to support research aligned with the identified priorities related to WHO LCG. An international collaborative platform is recommended to implement prioritized research by using harmonized research tools, establishing a repository of research priorities studies, and scaling-up successful research results.

Background: The Aim of this study was to assess whether labour monitoring using new WHO LCG will result in reducing intra partum caesarean sections. Methods: A analytical study was conducted from the month of September 2022 to January 2023 among 1735 pregnant women admitted at Hassan institute of Medical Sciences, in active phase of labour (5cm cervical dilatation and above) after obtaining informed consent. Results: In the present study, the New WHO Labour Care guide was plotted for 1735 pregnant women among which 1668 (96%) of the total patients had vaginal delivery, while 67 (4%) of the patients underwent Cesarean Section. Among the patients who underwent Cesarean Section it was found that1082 (94%) of the total Cesarean Sections were in latent phase of labour before plotting of the new WHO Labour care guide whereas only about 67 (6%) of Cesarean Section were conducted in active phase of labour. Among the patients who underwent LSCS in the active phase of labour majority were due to fetal distress 29(43%), 21(31%) due to Cephalopelvic disproportion, 13(20%) due to Non progression of labour and about 4(6%) due to Deep Transverse Arrest Conclusions: Majority of the caesarean sections were conducted in the latent phase of labour. The New WHO Labour Care guide has reduced the occurrence of intrapartum caesarean sections in the active phase of labour. However the overall rate of caesarean section must be controlled by reducing the number of Cesarean Sections conducted in latent phase of labour, that is before plotting the New WHO labour care guide.
