AB  - The Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College (JNMC) Women's and Children's Health 
      Research Unit (WCHRU) of the Karnataka Lingayat Education (KLE) Academy of Higher 
      Education and Research Deemed-to-be-University and its collaborators convened the 
      '2(nd) International Conference on Maternal and Newborn Health -Translating 
      Research Evidence to Practice' to address the common theme of improving maternal 
      and newborn health in low- and middle- income countries (LMIC). This supplement, 
      including 16 manuscripts, reflects much of the research presented at the 
      conference, including analyses of the state of knowledge, as well as completed, 
      ongoing and planned research in these areas conducted by the WCHRU in India 
      together with many collaborators across high-income and LMIC. The first paper 
      reviews maternal, fetal and neonatal mortality in low-income countries, considers 
      their causes, as well as evidence for potential interventions to reduce 
      mortality. A second paper addresses near miss maternal mortality. Several 
      manuscripts address the research conducted by WCHRU and their colleagues in a 
      multi-center research network. One study examines rates of miscarriage and 
      medically terminated pregnancy in India and the risk factors for these 
      occurrences. Another paper addresses stillbirth and its risk factors, both in 
      India as well as in other LMIC. Haemorrhage and preeclampsia/eclampsia, important 
      causes of maternal mortality, stillbirth and neonatal morbidity in LMIC, are 
      addressed in a series of papers summarizing trials of interventions to reduce 
      improve outcomes associated with these conditions. Poor maternal and infant 
      nutritional status, which contribute to adverse outcomes, are addressed through 
      papers which describe a number of important studies that the WCHRU and their 
      colleagues have conducted to attempt to improve nutritional status. Another paper 
      describes a study to investigate causes of stillbirth and deaths among preterm 
      births, which will utilize new techniques to investigate the infectious causes of 
      these deaths. Finally, the supplement addresses the process for dissemination of 
      research results to inform public policy. Together these manuscripts represent a 
      body of research to inform interventions to reduce maternal, fetal and newborn 
      mortality and illustrates what a dedicated research group together with 
      institutional support can accomplish.
