Abstract

Strategic advocacy has played a substantial role in the development and implementation of maternal death review (MDR) in Nigeria. Stakeholders that include the Society of Gynaecology and Obstetrics of Nigeria have partnered with the Federal Ministry of Health to ensure a robust arrangement that will guarantee the success of MDR in this country. Consequently, it is envisaged that the program will both contribute to a sustainable reduction in the maternal mortality ratio and promote improvements in maternal health care. The Nigerian experience indicates that the influence of stakeholders, such as professional organizations, is essential to drive the development of MDR programs through provision of advocacy and technical support. The current convergence of factors-including global support, political will, technical innovations, and increased financial resources-provides an ideal opportunity to make MDR a reality for all countries.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 26. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 17 February 2019.
All research outputs
#1,487,230
of 25,448,590 outputs
Outputs from International Journal of Gynecology & Obstetrics
#171
of 4,235 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#14,554
of 242,859 outputs
Outputs of similar age from International Journal of Gynecology & Obstetrics
#2
of 68 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,448,590 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 94th percentile: it's in the top 10% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 4,235 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 7.9. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 95% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 242,859 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 94% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 68 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 98% of its contemporaries.
