Popis: OBJECTIVE To understand the prevalence of intrapartum oxytocin use, assess associated perinatal and maternal outcomes, and evaluate the impact of a WHO Safe Childbirth Checklist intervention on oxytocin use at primary-level facilities in Uttar Pradesh, India. DESIGN Secondary analysis of a cluster-randomised controlled trial. SETTING Thirty Primary and Community public health facilities in Uttar Pradesh, India from 2014 to 2017. POPULATION Women admitted to a study facility for childbirth at baseline, 2, 6 or 12 months after intervention initiation. METHODS The BetterBirth intervention aimed to increase adherence to the WHO Safe Childbirth Checklist. We used Rao-Scott Chi-square tests to compare (1) timing of oxytocin use between study arms and (2) perinatal mortality and resuscitation of infants whose mothers received intrapartum oxytocin versus who did not. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Intrapartum and postpartum oxytocin administration, perinatal mortality, use of neonatal bag and mask. RESULTS We observed 5484 deliveries. At baseline, intrapartum oxytocin was administered to 78.2% of women. Two months after intervention initiation, intrapartum oxytocin (I) was administered to 32.1% of women compared with 70.6% in the control (C) (P
