Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 10
Abstract
Introduction: Maternal near- miss is defined as ― a woman who nearly died but survived a complication that occurred during pregnancy , childbirth or within 42 days of termination of pregnancy. A maternal death is one of the most devastating complications in obstetrics. Methods: The hospital based prospective study selecting 58 patients according to maternal near-miss criterias, were analysed in respect to demographical and other outcome parameters. Results: Analysis of the data revealed that most patients in the near- miss group were primiparas(39.7), in the third trimester (62.1%) or in the post natal period (25.9%). 75.9% in the near miss group were unbooked and were referred from a private or district , sub-division hospital. 11% of the patients presented with eclampsia or status epilepticus. Dialysis for ARF was needed in 5.2 % patients. Conclusion: The most quoted level of delay in the near miss cases was ignorance , relative reluctance and lack of transport.
