Abstract
Maternal near misses occur more often than maternal deaths and could enable more comprehensive analysis of risk factors, short-term outcomes and prognostic factors of complications during pregnancy and childbirth. The study determined the incidence, determinants and prognostic factors of severe maternal outcomes (near miss or maternal death) in two referral hospitals in Uganda. A prospective cohort study was conducted between March 1, 2013 and February 28, 2014, where cases of severe pregnancy and childbirth complications were included. The clinical conditions included abortion-related complications, obstetric haemorrhage, hypertensive disorders, obstructed labour, infection and pregnancy-specific complications such as febrile illness, anemia and premature rupture of membranes. Near miss cases were defined according to the WHO criteria. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was conducted to identify prognostic factors for severe maternal outcomes. Of 3100 women with severe obstetric complications, 130 (4.2%) were maternal deaths and 695 (22.7%) were near miss cases. Severe pre-eclampsia was the commonest morbidity (incidence ratio (IR) 7.0%, case-fatality rate (CFR) 2.3%), followed by postpartum haemorrhage (IR 6.7%, CFR 7....Continue Reading
