Effect of an integrated intervention on the availability and completeness of Robson ten group classification system-related data in district hospitals in Bangladesh.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: The Government of Bangladesh's routine data capturing system of health care facilities doesn't adequately capture Robson ten group classification system (TGCS)-related variables required to monitor caesarean section rates. To address this gap, we developed an integrated intervention and assessed its impact on the Robson TGCS-related variables availability and completeness. Methods: We conducted implementation research in eight district hospitals in Bangladesh from January 2021 to June 2023, where the primary population was mothers who gave birth within the implementing health care facilities. Our integrated intervention included the introduction of Robson TGCS; development and implementation of 'Robson TGCS Report Form'; capacity development training; a multi-level monitoring and supportive supervision system; and collaborative stakeholders' advisory workshops and review meetings. The primary outcome was the percentage of availability and completeness of TGCS-related data across study phases. The study was divided into five phases. Phase one focused on developing the data-capturing system, while data collection began in Phase two. Results: The average availability of six variables improved significantly (P < 0.001) from 76% (95% confidence interval (CI) = 75.7-76.8%) in phase two to 99% (95% CI = 98.8-99.1%) in Phase five. Similarly, data completeness for these variables increased significantly (P < 0.001) from 53% (95% CI = 52.2-54.2%) to 97% (95% CI = 96.2-97%). Consequently, the percentage of classified groups improved significantly (P < 0.001) from 55% (95% CI = 54.1-56.1%) to 97% (95% CI = 96.8-97.5%). Conclusions: The integrated intervention significantly improved data availability and completeness. Active engagement of stakeholders, including governmental bodies and technical experts from local and central levels, is crucial to ensure data quality for identifying, planning and implementing targeted interventions.
