The article discusses the establishment of the Maternal and Perinatal Database for Quality, Equity, and Dignity (MPD-4-QED) program in Nigeria, which aims to monitor the quality of maternal and newborn care in referral-level hospitals. The program collects data through an electronic platform and involves medical record officers and hospital coordinators. The article highlights implementation challenges, lessons learned, and future prospects. The document provides lists of hospitals, indicators, and definitions related to healthcare quality, as well as variables and descriptions for studying obstetrics and clinical conditions during pregnancy and labor. It also includes medical terms and definitions, and data elements for neonatal care, gynecological admissions, maternal death audits, and perinatal death audits. These resources are valuable for researchers studying healthcare in Nigeria and maternal and baby health. [Extracted from the article]
