Maternal mortality at Souissi Maternity Hospital in Rabat, 2018–2021
Backgroung
Maternal deaths are a major public health issue and serve as a crucial indicator for assessing a country's level of health development. The aim of this study is to describe the epidemiological characteristics of maternal deaths occurring at the Souissi Maternity Hospital in Rabat between 2018 and 2021.
Methods
This is a retrospective descriptive study. All cases of maternal death occurring at the Souissi Maternity Hospital in Rabat between January 2018 and December 2021 were included in this study. Data were collected from medical records. We divided the study into two phases (2018–2019 and 2020–2021), to be able to compare the mortality rate before and after COVID-19. Causes of death were also compared between these two phases using Khi2 test or fisher's exact test.
Results
During the entire study period (2018–2021), the Maternal Mortality Rate was 156.03 deaths per 100,000 live births. This rate rose from 88.84 to 261.49 per 100,000 live births between the two study phases (p < 0.001). Sixty-eight cases were linked to a direct cause (73.9 %). Preeclampsia and eclampsia was the leading cause of maternal mortality by direct cause (30.9 %), and hemorrhage was the second leading cause (25.0 %).
Conclusion
The study identified preeclampsia and postpartum hemorrhage as the leading causes of death, both of which are highly preventable. Recognizing risk factors through a case-control study is essential, and targeted interventions could help reduce maternal mortality.
