UNLABELLED: This study aims at (1) Assessing trends in maternal mortality in kuwait (2) Define strategies for prevention.
METHODS: Retrospective analysis of maternal deaths that occurred among, 55,979 live births at a tertiary hospital, between 1980 and 2009.
RESULTS: There were 14 maternal deaths, and 55,979 live births, giving a maternal mortality rate of 25 per 100,000 live birth. In terms of decades maternal mortality declined from 54.8 in 1980-90 to 28.4 in 1990-2000 and continued to decline to 12.2 in 2000-2009. Thromboembolism (28.6%), Obstetric haemorrhage (21.5%) and Eclampsia (14.3%) were the leading causes of direct deaths. Cardiac disease is the most common cause of indirect deaths (14.3%) followed by H1N1 pneumonia 7.1%. Eclampsia contributed to 40% of deaths, only in the 1980s. Thromboembolism caused 28.6% of deaths, 50% of which were in the last 9 years. Indirect deaths from cardiomyopathies (66.7%) gained prominence in the 1990s. No deaths from puerperal sepsis were reported after the 1980s (14.3%).
CONCLUSIONS: Maternal mortality rates are decreasing significantly (p<0.01) at our institution over the last 29 years. Obstetric haemorrhage and thromboembolism remain important causes of maternal mortality. Substandard care was identified in 70% of Direct and 55% of indirect deaths.
