↵a The number of district deliveries in 2016 multiplied by the institutional delivery rate for 2012 (for “without SMGL”) and for 2016 (for “with SMGL”) reported in Serbanescu et al.30
↵b Estimated using the 2016 facility deliveries with SMGL (for both “with SMGL” and “without SMGL”) and the total maternal/perinatal death rates for all SMGL-supported districts in 2016 (for with SMGL) and 201230 with adjustments for national-level secular trends (see Supplement 1) to estimate deaths if SMGL had never occurred (for without SMGL).
↵c Results are presented in US 2016 dollars, and represent the totals for the 2 SMGL-supported districts included in the analyses.
