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.
