Background: Several interventions provided to newborns at birth or within 24 hours after birth have been proven critical in improving neonatal survival and other birth outcomes. We aimed to provide an update on the effectiveness and safety of these interventions in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Summary: Following a comprehensive scoping of the literature, we updated or re-analyzed the LMIC-specific evidence for included topics. 95 LMIC studies were identified. Delayed cord clamping with immediate neonatal care after cord clamping resulted in a lower risk of blood transfusion in newborns <32-34 gestational weeks and a lower occurrence of anemia in term newborns, but did not have significant effect on neonatal mortality or other common morbidities both in preterm and term newborns. Immediate thermal care using plastic wrap/bag led to a 38% lower risk of hypothermia and a higher axillary temperature in preterm newborns without increasing the risk of hyperthermia. Kangaroo mother care initiated immediately (iKMC) or early after birth (eKMC, within 24 hours) significantly reduced neonatal mortality and the occurrence of hypothermia in preterm or low-birth-weight neonates. For delayed first bath in newborns, no pooled estimate was generated due to high heterogeneity of included studies. Trials from high-income countries demonstrated anti-D’s effectiveness in lowering the incidence of Rhesus D alloimmunization in subsequent pregnancy if given within 72 hours postpartum. Key messages: We generated the most updated LMIC evidence for several immediate newborn care interventions. Despite their effectiveness and safety in improving some of the neonatal outcomes, further high-quality trials are necessary.
