  1. aPercentages for use of hospital services due to complications during pregnancy and percent of complications reported are based on non-weighted average reported in cohort sub-samples in countries
  2. bProbability and cost estimates presented in the lower portion of Table 5 are taken from Table 2 (unit costs) and Table 3 (complication probabilities), and are not based on the event probabilities in the upper portion of Table 5
  3. Samples were from different data sources for probabilities for maternal health major procedures/treatments, and neonatal events
  4. If item-level or event-level facility cost estimate $0, NA, or missing from Table 3, $0 estimate used for calculation in Table 5
  5. cExact sample size of neonatal healthcare use varied slightly per event (range is presented per country)
  6. Components of combined estimates for maternal and neonatal costs may not reflect rounding precision given USD two decimal standard
