| Popis: | Background:Death of women during pregnancy, delivery and within 6 weeks of postpartum can threaten the survival of the entire family. Even though our country reduces the maternal death, still the number of death that occurs is high as WHO maternal death classification. So the need of further study is unquestionable to identify cause and timing of maternal death.Methods:A case control study on 595 charts, 119 cases and 476 controls was conducted in MTU teaching & Bonga general hospital. Data was analyzed by STATA 13.1. Propensity score matching analysis was used to see causes. Confidence interval of 95% was used to see the precision and the level of significance of p value =Result:Most death (74.8%) occurred during post-partum period. Only 17.6% of women died in Intrapartum period. The major causes of maternal death in the study area were hemorrhage 47.9% (β =0.58 (95% CI (0.28, 0.87)) in hospital but when projected to population based on our sample (β =0.26 (95% CI (0.22, 0.31)). Infection 36 (25.21%) (β = 0.50 (95% CI (0.08, 0.92))..Conclusion:Most of the women died in post-partum period particularly within three days. Hemorrhage was the leading cause of death. |
