Abstract

In this meta-analysis, SCC use in lower-middle-income settings was associated with increased EBP adherence and lower rates of stillbirths when EBPs were directly observed. Further research is needed to identify additional factors to optimize SCC's potential impact on maternal and newborn safety outcomes.
