Abstract
Background: The World Health Organization (WHO) estimated that, in the year 2000, 20 million women suffered acute complications in pregnancy with the occurrence of 529,000maternal deaths. Nevertheless, in a systematic review using disease-specific criteria, near miss rates have been reported to be between 0.6% and 14.98%. Aims and objective: The purpose of this study was to document the frequency and causes of near miss and maternal deaths and to analyse the trend of near miss events. Methodology: Cross sectional study in a tertiary referral hospital between november 2014 – november2015.Near miss cases were defined according to WHO criteria 2009. Result :There were 5553 live births, 22 near misses and 5 maternal deaths. The obstetric near miss outcome ratio was 3.96 cases/1000 live births, the maternal near miss : mortality ratio was 4.4 : 1. Conclusion: Post-partum Haemorrhage along with hypertension are the major causes of obstetric near miss cases.
