CBA: controlled before‐after study; CI: confidence interval; cRCT: cluster‐randomized controlled trial; iCCM: integrated community case management; RR: risk ratio.
aWe recalculated results for Mubiru 2015, White 2018, and Yansaneh 2014 based on unadjusted counts (see Data extraction and management).
bAdjusted for cluster design and stratification variables: ethnic origin (Balanta, non‐Balanta and mixed) and by distance from a regional health centre or hospital (within/further 3.5 hours' walking).
cAdjusted for cluster design (shared frailty option, random‐effects model) and potential confounders (toilet inside house, illiterate mother, schedule caste or tribe, possession of mobile phone, family with below poverty line card, distance from primary health centre to nearest point on highway, percentage of home births in cluster).
