A randomized controlled trial was carried out for 1 y in three tertiary and teaching hospitals, in Addis Ababa (Ethiopia), Yogyakarta (Indonesia) and Merida (Mexico), to study the effectiveness, feasibility, accept-ability and cost of kangaroo mother care (KMC) when compared to conventional methods of care (CMC). About 29 % of 649 low birthweight infants (LBWI; 1000–1999 g) died before eligibility. Of the survivors, 38 % were excluded for various reasons, 149 were randomly assigned to KMC (almost exclusive skin-to-skin care after stabilization), and 136 to CMC (warm room or incubator care). There were three deaths in each group and no difference in the incidence of severe disease. Hypothermia was significantly less common in KMC infants in ...
