- Delivery facility type (home, BEmONC, CEmONC) value from intrapartum model

* - 2
- XX% of each type of facility have antibiotics available

- Percentage of each facility type that have antibiotics for neonatal sepsis: 76.8% of CEmONC and 30.2% of BEmONC
- These values are from the 2016 EmONC Final Report and are therefore only reflective of Ethiopian health system a decade ago (we also have data on this
from SARA, via the Health Systems team). Please use these as a placeholder for now while we try to find reliable values for Nigeria and Pakistan.
* - 3
- XX relative risk on mortality from sepsis or other neonatal infections
- It seems like this relative risk will be hard to find in the literature, and we might need to use a sensitivity-analysis approach.
- 0.72 (95% CI 0.64-0.80) relative risk on mortality from sepsis or other neonatal infections
- It seems like this relative risk is hard to find in the literature, and we might need to use a sensitivity-analysis approach.
`This meta-analysis for LiST <https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3231886/>`_ provides an estimate of the RR of antibiotics on neonatal sepsis,
and we could use their methodology to make our own estimate, or use this one (which is currently a placeholder).
* - 4
- XX% of each type of facility have probiotics available
- Need to determine who recevied probiotics - all newborns, only LBW, only preterm, etc. ; the coverage is probably zero in current practice, and we will model scenarios where it is nonzero.
