Data sources, data collection and management
A motion-triggered camera was used and recorded all instances of newborns being placed on the resuscitation table. We tested the acceptability of video recordings of NR in a feasibility study.33
We recruited 18 research assistants with healthcare backgrounds. A postnatal questionnaire was performed and collected sociodemographic, obstetric, birth and neonatal data. Data was stored into RedCap (v5.12.1). The HW in charge of the specific birth filled out the sections specific to obstetric risk factors and the birth outcome based on WHO and national guidelines. 1817 Efforts were made to follow up with all study participants by phone when the newborn turned 28 days. A village follow-up was planned but had to be cancelled in March 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
