Maternal anaemia and risk of neonatal and infant mortality in low- and middle-income countries: a secondary analysis of 45 national datasets

Future research should examine how targeted interventions for prepregnancy and antenatal treatment of anaemia in reproductive-age women can enhance maternal and child health in low- and middle-income settings.
