OBJECTIVE: To assess the quality of life (QoL) in women following a maternal near-miss event and to assess the women's attitude towards future fertility and their contraceptive choices.
METHODS: A cross-sectional observational study was conducted in Government Medical College, Kozhikode, India among women who had experienced a near-miss event (n = 50) between January 1, 2020 and May 31, 2021 during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic. The QoL was assessed using the WHO Quality of Life, BREF Version, questionnaire, which was administered to the consenting participants over phone. Information regarding desire for future fertility, contraceptive choices, and urogenital symptoms was also collected. A comparison between the short-term and long-term effects on the QoL was also done.
RESULTS: A maternal near-miss event was not found to adversely affect the overall quality of life in the present study. The scores in all the four domains-physical, psychological, social relationships, and environmental-suggested good QoL, although greater variability in values were observed in the physical and psychological domains. The influence in these two domains was more pronounced following a perinatal loss and following prolonged physical morbidities. There was no difference in short- and long-term QoL following a maternal near miss (MNM). The MNM did not influence the contraceptive choices and there was no subsequent pelvic floor dysfunction in most women.
CONCLUSION: MNM was not found to adversely affect the overall subsequent QoL in the present study. There was no difference in short- and long-term QoL following a MNM. Studies carried out over a longer period of time with a control group would yield more information.
