Main Findings
This study examined the association between a MORES intervention
implementation and mode of delivery, maternal outcome, newborn outcome,
and transfer time from 20 RHFs to two district hospitals in rural
Liberia. Following implementation of MORES, women had higher odds to
undergo a CS and newborns had lower odds of being depressed, defined as
a non-vigorous infant with presence of poor respiratory effort, poor
muscle tone, or heart rate < 100 beats per minute during the
delivery room provider’s initial assessment. No statistically
significant association was observed between the intervention and
maternal outcomes and transfer time.
