▼ Worldwide, more than 1 million infants die as a result of premature birth. In the United States, where 1 in 10 births occurs preterm, premature birth is the leading cause of infant
mortality. Premature infants have high rates of
mortality and
morbidity, with the highest rates seen in those infants born extremely preterm – prior to 30 weeks gestation. Severe
morbidity in these infants often contributes to life-long health problems.
Maternal hypertension (HTN) is one contributor to preterm birth and also contributes to fetal growth restriction, resulting in birth weights which are small for gestational age (SGA, and generally within the lowest 10th percentile). Within this high risk population, SGA infants have increased risk of
mortality compared to appropriate for gestational age infants. Therefore the impact of
maternal HTN on neonatal outcome might be presumed to be negative. Previous studies however, have been contradictory, with both higher and lower rates of infant
mortality reported in infants born to mothers with HTN, as well as differing reports analyzing the relationship between serious
morbidity and
maternal HTN.
Utilizing the Vermont Oxford Network Very Low Birth Weight database, a collaborative database of Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Units across the world, 88,275 North American infants born between 22+0 and 29+6 weeks gestational age between 2008 and 2011 were identified. This dissertation explores the relationship between
maternal HTN and gestational age at time of birth within this population, and the reported rates of
morbidity and
mortality in infants born prior to 30 weeks gestation. The independent contributions of
maternal HTN with neonatal
morbidity and
mortality in our population were estimated using logistic regression and adjusting for factors previously known to be associated with risk, including birth weight, antenatal steroid exposure, infant sex,
maternal race/ethnicity, prenatal care, inborn/outborn status, and birth year. We hypothesized that
mortality rates would be lower for infants born to mothers with HTN compared to those born due to other factors, when corrected for the noted confounding variables and surviving infants would have better prognoses, as evidenced by lower rates of severe
morbidity, including bronchopulmonary dysplasia, intraventricular hemorrhage, periventricular leukomalacia, necrotizing enterocolitis, and infection. Within the higher-risk SGA population, we hypothesized that
mortality rates would be higher than observed in appropriately grown infants, but decreased in those born to mothers with HTN, despite the association between
maternal HTN and SGA.
This dissertation begins with an explanation of current knowledge about preterm birth,
maternal HTN, and their associations. Chapter 2 focuses on the relationship between
maternal HTN and infant
mortality in extremely preterm infants. Chapter 3 examines the risk associated with severe morbidities in surviving infants. In addition, we also use a combined
morbidity risk…

▼ A pregnancy can be composed of a range of clinical conditions, ranging from a healthy pregnancy to another limit that is maternal death. Between these two extremes are the conditions described as severe maternal morbidity and near miss, which is a more severe condition than the maternal morbidity. In 2009, the WHO standardized maternal near miss approach, as an important tool to uniformly identify cases and evaluate the quality of care for women with serious complications. It is worth emphasizing that women who fall into these situations share many characteristics with maternal deaths, but represent a rich source of details about the determinant factors of their maternal health condition, since they are alive. Participated in this research 941 women who had severe maternal morbidity criteria and/or near miss during the period of July 2009 to June 2010, at the Maternity School Assis Chateaubriand - UFC. They were identified 61 cases of maternal near miss and 880 of severe maternal morbidity non-near miss. The incidence of maternal morbidity non-near miss was 190.6 and near miss was 10.8/1,000 live births. The mortality rate of maternal near miss was 18%. The variables significantly different between the two groups were: color (p = 0.002) and number of prenatal visits (p <0.001). Among the severe maternal morbidity conditions, it was found that eclampsia and the need for ICU admission were the defining of the risk of progressing to death, while the use of magnesium sulfate acted as a protective factor. It was found, also, that have criteria of near miss is statistically significant for maternal death (p <0.001; ORB = 3.94; 95% CI: 1.66 - 9.37). Among the defining criteria of near miss, the more directly associated with maternal death was the presence of management criteria: all the 11 cases that resulted in death had some management discretion. It was concluded that based health policies and actions in cases of maternal near miss is the most effective means of improving maternal health.
Uma gravidez pode ser constituida por uma gama de condiÃÃes clÃnicas, que vÃo desde uma gravidez saudÃvel atà o outro limite que à a morte materna. Entre os extremos encontram-se as condiÃÃes descritas como morbidade materna grave e near miss, que à uma condiÃÃo mais grave do que a morbidade materna. Em 2009, a OMS padronizou a abordagem near miss materno, como uma ferramenta importante para identificar uniformemente os casos e avaliar a qualidade dos cuidados prestados Ãs mulheres com complicaÃÃes graves. Vale enfatizar, que as mulheres que se enquadram nestas situaÃÃes compartilham muitas caracterÃsticas com os Ãbitos maternos, porÃm representam uma fonte rica de detalhes acerca dos fatores determinantes da sua condiÃÃo de saÃde materna, uma vez que estas estÃo vivas. Participaram da presente pesquisa 941 mulheres que possuÃam critÃrios de morbidade materna grave e/ou near miss durante o perÃodo de julho de 2009 a junho de 2010, na Maternidade-Escola Assis Chateaubriand-UFC.

▼ Doutoramento em Sociologia
O presente trabalho incidiu na análise do risco na saúde materna em Portugal. A manifestação desse risco está tradicionalmente associada a elevados níveis de mortalidade materna, fenómeno central mas não exclusivo da análise.
Com efeito, numa sociedade onde as características de modernidade são definidas pela noção de risco e de reflexividade, a mudança de padrão dos níveis de mortalidade materna veio sugerir a incidência do risco da maternidade noutros acontecimentos, nomeadamente ao nível da morbilidade materna.
Por outro lado, a ideia de que a maternidade continua associada a riscos remeteu a análise para as condições sociais e assistenciais do nascimento em Portugal. Esse enquadramento supõe que o nascimento assume novas características e o risco na saúde das mães adquire novas configurações.
Os resultados obtidos revelam uma descida acentuada dos valores da mortalidade materna no nosso país, a partir da década de 1940, para valores residuais na atualidade, acompanhando a evolução dos valores da mortalidade infantil.
Os avanços de natureza sociocultural e sanitária, o progresso em matéria de medicalização da contraceção e da assistência à saúde reprodutiva e as próprias características da população fecunda dão suporte a essa evolução. Mas também darão margem à expressão da morbilidade materna.
No atual contexto de universalização do nascimento hospitalar, os recursos crescentes da população fecunda são, sobretudo, mobilizados para escolhas na assistência ao nascimento, com tendência para a padronização e intervenção crescentes, com resultados muito controlados para a mortalidade materna mas menos assegurados ou conhecidos relativamente à manifestação da morbilidade materna.
This study attempts to analyze the risk in maternal health in Portugal. The manifestation of that risk is traditionally associated with high levels of maternal mortality, which is central but not the exclusive phenomenon that we consider.
Indeed, in a society where the characteristics of modernity are defined by the notion of risk and reflexivity, the evolution of maternal mortality levels suggests that the risk of motherhood focus at other events, particularly in terms of maternal morbidity.
Moreover, the idea that maternity is still associated with risk conducted the analysis to the social and attendance conditions of birth in Portugal. This framework assumes that the birth acquires new characteristics and that the risk for the health of mothers purchases new configurations.
The results show a strong decline in maternal mortality, from the 1940s to residual values today, following the evolution of the values of infant mortality. The sociocultural and sanitary advances, the progress on medicalization of contraception and reproductive health care and the characteristics of the fertile population support this evolution. But these characteristics also give rise to the expression of maternal morbidity.
In the current context of universal hospital delivery, the growing resources of the fertile population are mainly…

Pregnancy loss and neonatal mortality in Rwanda : The differential role of inter-pregnancy intervals.

▼ Rwanda has so far paid little attention to 'healthy' intervals between pregnancies awareness programs on family planning and
maternal and child health. Results of this thesis shed some light on the contribution of IPI and the type of previous pregnancy outcome on fetal survival, neonatal
mortality and
maternal morbidity in Rwanda. By using the combined effect of IPI and the type of previous pregnancy outcome instead of Inter-Birth Interval (IBI), it became clear that analysis using IBI leave behind possible fetal deaths that are more likely to happen in between births and that do play a role in affecting the reproductive health of the mother. We posit that women will improve their reproductive health status and avoid the risk of a fetal death trap if they wait at least two years after the previous fetal death. This finding relates to the findings from other developing countries such as Bangladesh (in opposite to findings from developed countries), and might be related to the absence of post-abortion care. Results from other studies give no assurance about what exactly is a healthy interval. In a bid to avoid methodological flaw, studies on infant
mortality should avoid selectivity bias by concomitantly considering fetal survival. Yet, we found little evidence for simultaneous effects of short IPI’s fetal and neonatal
mortality. The causes for neonatal
mortality are not moderated by the inter-pregnancy interval while those for fetal loss are. Short IPIs are not associated with
maternal morbidity, yet primigravida and women with long IPIs showed increased risks of third trimester bleeding, premature rupture of membrane and lower limb edema. Primigravida showed adverse outcomes throughout this study, implying that programs geared to reduce
maternal death and neonatal
mortality should consider primigravida with particular attention. After a pregnancy loss, a pregnancy interval longer than six months must be observed to prevent recurrence. Also women with very long IPI (<=5 years) have consistently shown increased risks of fetal loss, neonatal death and
maternal morbidity. Our findings contribute to the debate whether older age of the mother might be hiding behind the effect of very long interval length. We found no negative effects of older age, and a remaining strong effect of long inter-pregnancy interval, which again supports the physiological regression hypothesis. Policy wise, avoiding short IPIs can be achieved through the use of post-partum contraception while long IPIs remain problematic to avoid, given that a desired pregnancy may be precluded by sub-fertility, availability of a partner, economic issues or illness. In the context of poor countries like Rwanda, a full reproductive health package is necessary and pregnancy management strategies should be encouraged through family planning for spacing pregnancies, and the promotion of health seeking behavior in the form ante- and post-natal care. Hospital staff should encourage post-abortion medication, and health centers in remote areas of the country should be…

▼ Women that experience unintended pregnancies have significantly poorer
maternal, neonatal and fetal outcomes. Nearly half of all pregnancies are unintended, underscoring the need to find more effective strategies to educate women about preconception care. The body of evidence for using social media to disseminate and gain health information is rapidly growing, as one in four Americans now uses social media to seek health information. This pilot project is constructed around the elements of preconception care, the internet, and social media and is designed to explore if and how young women in Clark County, Washington, are using social media to gain knowledge about preconception care.
Qualitative description was the design for this study. Twelve non-pregnant, English speaking female residents of Clark County, between the ages of 18 to 24, were recruited via Facebook and snowballing, and took an online survey, using Qualtrics.
Results revealed that to learn about health care topics, 75% of respondents use the Internet, 58% use their healthcare provider, and 25% use social media, but to get information that they trust, 58% prefer a health database and 42% prefer a healthcare provider. Respondents also indicated that 81% were not taking folic acid supplementation and 78% were overweight or obese.
It appears that the Internet and apps are used and trusted more than social media, and online platforms are preferred for receiving health information. Respondents expressed a high level of trust in health care providers, but used online platforms first to save time, prepare for appointments, and compare information to achieve consensus.
Recommendations include collaborative educational interventions with the March of Dimes, the public health department, and local health care delivery entities to share how to protect online privacy, where to look for credible information online, designing an online intervention to promote folic acid supplementation, and suggestions for further research.

▼ Introdução - O estudo da morbidade materna contribui para um melhor entendimento do quadro da saúde materna, no Brasil, e para o conhecimento dos problemas obstétricos que podem levar (ou não) ao internamento das gestantes. Os dados de morbidade materna são vitais para os gestores de políticas públicas de saúde, os quais precisam saber quantas mulheres necessitam de cuidados obstétricos básicos para tornar a gestação e o parto mais seguros. Objetivos - Estudar a morbidade materna e os conceptos de puérperas numa maternidade da rede pública de João Pessoa, Paraíba, e identificar mulheres com diagnósticos considerados potencialmente graves e sugestivos de morbidade materna near miss. Método - Trata-se de um estudo transversal que fez parte de uma pesquisa maior sobre a morbimortalidade materna. Foi selecionada uma amostra de 414 puérperas por um processo de amostragem aleatória sistemático, cujos dados foram coletados, prospectivamente, de setembro a novembro de 2011, a partir dos prontuários clínicos e entrevistas complementares, numa maternidade pública de referência e acentuada demanda no município. Resultados - Foram estudadas 383 gestações que terminaram em parto e 391 conceptos. Entre as puérperas, predominou a faixa etária dos 20 aos 34 anos, cor parda, baixa escolaridade, baixa renda e sem ocupação formal no mercado de trabalho. Metade delas tiveram parto cesariano e 17 por cento dos recém-nascidos apresentaram problemas de saúde. Foram identificadas as seguintes intercorrências no parto: lacerações do períneo, hematomas, traumatismos, hemorragias e hipertensões. No puerpério, destacaram-se os transtornos hipertensivos, as hemorragias do pós-parto e as infecções. Entre os 64 diagnósticos sugestivos de near miss, estão as síndromes hipertensivas (58 por cento ) e as síndromes hemorrágicas (32,8 por cento ). Na análise comparativa entre os grupos de puérperas com morbidades sugestivas e não sugestivas de near miss, as seguintes variáveis apresentaram diferenças estatisticamente significantes (p<0,001): problemas de saúde na gestação anterior e atual, hipertensão, gestação de risco e uso de anti-hipertensivos. Não foram encontradas diferenças estatísticas entre as características dos neonatos e a morbidade materna, sugestiva ou não de near miss. Conclusão - O estudo permitiu conhecer as características maternas e a prevalência (15,5 por cento ) de morbidades sugestivas de near miss que ocorrem, seja no parto seja no puerpério. Ampliar o conhecimento sobre os aspectos que envolvem a morbidade materna torna-se crucial para o adequado enfrentamento de complicações no ciclo gravídico-puerperal, além de apoiar o Plano de Ação para acelerar a redução da mortalidade materna e morbidade materna grave.

▼ My doctoral thesis, “Belaboured Lives,” examines the relationship between Sunni Muslim women’s reproductive and maternal health practices, Islamic conservatism, federal and non-governmental health programming, intense Shia-Sunni conflict, interpersonal enmity and ‘occult’ forces in Gilgit Town, economic and administrative capital of Pakistan’s semi-autonomous, federally neglected and multi-sectarian Northern Areas. Over 14 months between 2004 and 2005, my doctoral ethnographic fieldwork involved research interviews and participant-observation among Sunni women and Gilgit Town’s biomedical, traditional and Islamic therapeutic service providers, as well as in household, community, mosque and clinical-settings. With Gilgit District’s maternal morbidity and mortality rate (MMR) being among the highest in Pakistan, my thesis argues that Gilgiti Sunni women’s reproductive and maternal health outcomes were the product of restrictive, inter-linked or mutually interacting structural and ideological forces, which were socio-economic, political, familial and religious in nature. By providing an ethnography not only of women’s home-centered health practices but also their in-clinic experiences, I address the wide array of physical, symbolic and cosmological threats women perceived as being interwoven with their fertility, pregnancy and childbirth-related health. To different degrees and in different ways, women, their families and health providers described how the socio-spatial constraints associated with Islamic pardah (veiling, gender seclusion) and izzat (honour) paradigms, conflict-related service exclusions, iatrogenic risk and hospital funding insufficiencies, ‘black magic’ and spirit ‘attacks’ were contributory factors to women’s poor health outcomes.
But my participants’ reproductive health was not only the arena for wellness-seeking and crisis resolution, but also for the enactment and expression of cultural values and sectarian identity; the tension between doctrinal Islam and local interpretations, modern/traditional divides; Sunni militarism, symbolic and structural violence. Moreover, Gilgiti Sunni women’s reproductive and maternal health narratives demonstrated subjectivity, inter-subjectivity and reflexivity, resistance and negotiation, and gendered and reproductive agency. Within this context, any one pregnancy could evidence and communicate multiple domains of experience, as well as patient-provider interaction, access to care, its quality and relation to socio-economic factors, ideological stance or community-bound interpersonal relations. Ultimately, by using pregnancy and childbirth as a central point of inquiry, my thesis examines different aspects of Gilgiti Sunni women’s health experiences: biomedical and traditional; urban and rural childbirth and post-partum practices; Family Planning, fertility and infertility, unwanted pregnancies and abortions; conflict-related constraints, medical malpractice and cosmological harm.

▼ Abstract: Introduction: Classifying / discriminating the race or ethnic origin of an individual can often assist the physician in its diagnosis and treatment. The true meaning of race, skin color and ethnicity is complex. Anyway, being born, living, falling ill and dying are known unequal experiences among whites, blacks and indigenous. This could also be applicable to the processes of pregnancy and childbirth among women of different races/skin colors and could determine differentials in the occurrence of
maternal morbidity and
mortality. The early identification and adequate treatment of obstetric complications are responsible for the decrease in
maternal morbidity and
mortality. Objectives: To evaluate
maternal skin color as a factor associated with
maternal Near Miss (MNM) events in the Brazilian National Demographic and Health Survey (DHS); to describe MNM among women of different racial backgrounds, who participated in the Neonatal Call (NC) study; and to evaluate the association of severe
maternal complications with
maternal skin color, and the respective perinatal results, in the study of the Brazilian Network for Surveillance of Severe
Maternal Morbidity. Methods: a secondary analysis of three already implemented studies was performed addressing
maternal skin color/race as a factor associated with
maternal and perinatal
morbidity and
mortality. The first analysis consists of the evaluation of the association of skin color and MNM in the DHS. The second analysis was the evaluation of the association between racial differences and the occurrence of MNM in the Amazonian and Northeast regions of Brazil, in the study NC. And the third analysis consists of evaluating the occurrence of severe
maternal outcome (
maternal near miss +
maternal death) in the different group of women determined by skin color in the study of the Network. Results: In DHS 5,025 women constituted the population evaluated, 59% of them were black or mixed, about 23% of them had complications, and 2% had at least one pragmatic MNM criterion; the MNM rate was 31 per 1,000 live births, and its occurrence was not statistically different between ethnic of skin color. The occurrence of MNM was associated to the higher
maternal age and lower schooling. In the NC study 16,783 women were interviewed, approximately 76% of these were black women, 6% reported any complication related to pregnancy, and the MNM ratio was higher among indigenous (53.1/1000LB) and black women (28.4) than in white women (25.7). The occurrence of MNM was associated to the low number of prenatal visits, to C-section, primigravity and to the longer time to reach the hospital. In the Network study, 7,139 women were evaluated, 57.1% were black and 42.8% were white, the
mortality index was 1 for every 5.2 cases of MNM, regardless of
maternal skin color. The occurrence of severe
maternal outcome (SMO) was higher among the group of white women. Conclusion: The three studies showed different results regarding the association between skin color/race and the occurrence of severe

▼ In 2015, 5.9 million children died with 44% of those deaths occurring in the most vulnerable period of life: the neonatal period (first 28 days of life). Because this is such a pervasive problem, in order to meet the United Nation’s third Sustainable Development Goal of reducing the global neonatal
mortality rate down from 27 to 12 deaths per 1,000 live births, there needs to be more evidence-based, effective interventions. Thrive Networks addresses newborn
mortality by improving facility-based care in low-resource settings via intensive training and lifesaving medical equipment built to operate in these conditions. Despite all of the evidence Thrive has depicting the success of their programs, they have decided to close down the Health Program due to a litany of moving parts ultimately forcing their hand to refocus and re-strategize their resources away from providing newborn interventions. Since this circumstance does not occur in a vacuum, it is important to understand why nonprofits like Thrive struggle to sustain their programs when they have potential to address the world’s direst problems. A systematic review of academic literature attempts to find qualitative and quantitative measurements to understand nonprofit program closure and continuation. Thrive operates as a case-study in how these measurements can make sense of the closure of its Health Program.

▼ Maternal and infant death rates in Malawi are among the highest in the world. Over 17 million people live in this small country in sub-Saharan Africa, where the country’s life expectancy is just 60.6 years (World Bank, 2015). These deaths can be attributed to many complex factors, including cultural practices, lack of adequate medical equipment, long travel distances to health facilities, low staffing at hospitals and clinics, extreme poverty, and malnutrition. Without government support and intervention, community groups must fill in the gaps to make needed improvements to
maternal and infant health outcomes. African Mothers Health Initiative (AMHI) enrolls high risk mothers and infants in the capital Lilongwe District to provide home-based clinical care in the remote villages of Malawi. During a needs assessment conducted in the summer of 2016, it was determined AMHI currently lacks robust and ample data to ensure the sustainability of this necessary program through grant funding and evaluation. With more efficient collection and comprehensive data, AMHI can better serve program participants and villages, and identify areas to more efficiently and effectively reduce
maternal and infant
mortality and
morbidity in Malawi. The lives of women and their infant children depend on it.

▼ Análise da incidência, identificação dos casos e distribuição dos critérios para a morbidade materna grave, no Distrito Federal. Utilizou-se para a identificação dos casos os critérios da OMS (2010). Inicialmente, delineou-se um estudo transversal, desenvolvido em nove hospitais públicos do Distrito Federal que são referência para a assistência a gestação e ao parto de risco habitual e alto risco, no período entre 01 de julho de 2013 e 29 de dezembro de 2015, a fim de verificar a incidência e identificar os casos de condições potencialmente ameaçadoras da vida (CPAV) e near miss (NM) por meio de busca ativa dos casos e entrevista direta com a paciente. Identificou-se 174 casos de morbidade materna grave em 62.706 nascidos-vivos, gerando uma incidência de 2,77 casos por mil nascidos-vivos. Dos 174 casos entrevistados, 26 foram classificados como CPAV e 148 como NM correspondendo a incidências de 0,4/1.000 e 2,36/1.000, respectivamente. As condições hemorrágicas foram as condicionantes primárias mais significantes (p<0,001) nos casos de maior gravidade (NM). Concomitantemente, desenvolveu-se um estudo caso-controle para estimar a associação entre os fatores de risco para a ocorrência de morbidade materna grave (MMG) utilizando-se o modelo de regressão logística múltipla hierarquizada. Verificou-se a associação entre cada variável preditora e a variável desfecho por meio do teste do Quiquadrado, em sequência, a análise multivariada foi realizada seguindo a entrada hierarquizada das variáveis definidas à priori e que produziram estimativas de odds ratio (OR) com valores de p≤0,25 no modelo univariado. O nível mais distal foi constituído de fatores sociodemográficos, o nível mais proximal por cuidados obstétricos e o intermediário os antecedentes clínicos. Neste estudo foram considerados fatores de risco para morbidade materna grave a cor da pele declarada não branca, renda familiar de até dois salários mínimos, não tem companheiro, realizar menos que seis consultas de pré-natal, não estar vinculada a maternidade de referência e a ausência de trabalho de parto na admissão. Neste estudo, a presença de indicadores socioeconômicos precários e o cuidado obstétrico desqualificado apresentaram relação significativa com o risco para morbidade materna grave.
Incidence analysis, case identification and distribution of criteria for severe maternal morbidity in the Federal District. The WHO criteria (2010) were used to identify the cases. Initially, a cross-sectional study was developed in 09 public hospitals of the Federal District there are a reference for the assistance of gestation and delivery at usual risk and high risk, between July 1, 2013 and December 29, 2015, In order to verify the incidence and identify the cases of potentially life threatening conditions (PLTC) and near miss (NM) by means of active case search and direct interview with the patient. We identified 174 cases of severe maternal morbidity in 62,706 live births, generating an incidence of 2.77 cases per thousand live births. Of the 174 interviewed cases,…

▼ Abstract: Objective: To evaluate the occurrence of severe obstetric complications associated with ectopic pregnancy (EP) and antepartum or intrapartum (AIH) and postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) among women in the Brazilian Network for the Surveillance of Severe
Maternal Morbidity. Methods: A multicenter cross-sectional study conducted in 27 referral obstetric units in Brazil between July 2009 and June 2010. The occurrence of potentially life-threatening conditions (PLTC),
maternal near miss (MNM) and
maternal death (MD) associated with EP, AIH and HPP were evaluated among 9,555 women identified as having some obstetric complication. Socio demographic and obstetric characteristics and use of management criteria in these severe hemorrhages were also assessed. Prevalence ratios (PR) were calculated with their respective 95% confidence intervals adjusted for the cluster effect and multiple logistic regression analysis to identify factors independently associated with the occurrence of severe
maternal outcome (SMO = MNM + MD) . Results: Among the 9,555 women with obstetric complications, 312 (3.3%) had complications due to EP, with 286 (91.7 %) PTLC, 25 (8.0%) MNM and 1 (0.3 %) MD. HPP was the leading cause in 1192 women (12.5 %), with 981 PTLC, 181 MNM and 30 MD. AIH occurred in 8% (767) of women experiencing any type of obstetric complication and accounted for 613 (7.1%) of the PTLC cases, 140 (18.2%) of MNM and 10% (14) of MD. Women with complicated PE had a higher risk of blood transfusion, laparotomy and lower risk of ICU admission and prolonged hospitalization than women with other complications. There was a substandard care or delays associated with cases of complicated EP. The factors associated with a better outcome were a previous uterine scar and to be non-white. Among women who had PPH,
maternal age, early gestational age, previous uterine scar and previous cesarean delivery were the main factors associated with a risk of SMO. These women also had a higher proportion of blood transfusion and return to operating room. For those who had AIH,
maternal age and previous cesarean section were independently associated with this increased risk. Conclusion: Increased
maternal morbidity due to EP raised awareness about the condition and its impact on female reproductive life. Postpartum hemorrhage persists as one of the main obstetric complication and important cause of
maternal morbidity and
mortality in Brazil. The knowledge of factors associated with a severe
maternal outcome (SMO=MNM+MD) could be useful for improving the quality of obstetric care and
maternal outcomes. SMO due to antepartum and intrapartum hemorrhage was highly prevalent among Brazilian women. Some risk factors,
maternal age and prior cesarean delivery in particular, were associated with the occurrence of this hemorrhagic complication. Care providers should develop specific guidelines and interventions to prevent severe
maternal morbidity for each specific obstetric hemorrhagic condition identified

▼ Abstract: Objective: to assess the prevalence and factors associated with severe
maternal morbidity (SMM), considering the definitions: potentially life-threatening conditions (PTLC),
maternal near miss (MNM) and
maternal mortality (MM) in women at the extremes of reproductive age. Methods: Two methodological approaches were programmed: the first was a secondary analysis of the 2006 Brazilian Demographic Health Survey (DHS) database that was conducted through a previously validated questionnaire to evaluate the occurrence of
maternal complications. We used a pragmatic definition in which any woman reporting the occurrence of eclampsia, hysterectomy, blood transfusion, or hospitalization in the intensive care unit was considered as a case of near miss. Associations between the extremes of reproductive age (adolescents and women aged 35 to 49 years) and SMM were assessed. For this analysis proportions and ratios related to complications and interventions defined as near miss and the estimated risk for
maternal morbidity were performed. The second approach was a secondary analysis of a cross-sectional multicenter study, implemented in 27 referral obstetric units in all five geographic regions of Brazil, created to identify cases of SMM, using prospective surveillance of hospitalized women during twelve months. We analyzed the data on the occurrence of MM, MNM and PTLC in teenagers (10 to 19 years) and in older pregnant women (aged 35 or more) using as reference women between 20 and 34 years. We calculated prevalence ratios (PR) with confidence intervals of 95% adjusted for conglomerates.
Maternal variables, epidemiological, obstetric, and clinical and delays were considered. Statistical Analysis was performed by multiple Poisson regression. Results: In the first approach 6833 pregnancies were considered, 73.7% in women aged 20-34 years, 17.9% in women 35 years or older and 8.4% in adolescents. The only difference between groups was the need for blood transfusion, more prevalent among controls. There was a tendency of increase in the ratios of MNM with increasing
maternal age. The only risk factor identified was lower education among women aged 35 years or more. In the second approach we found 17% of adolescents and also 17% of women aged 35 or more. The prevalence of MNM and MM was higher among women with 35 years or more. MNM and MM increased with increasing age, but were also very high at the lowest end of the age, among adolescents aged 10-14 years. In multivariate analysis. Adolescence was not an independent risk factor while age of 35 years or more was (PR 1.25; CI 1:07 to 1:45). Conclusions: MNM and MM increases with increasing
maternal age, exception made to the group of adolescents aged 10-14 that also has a higher risk of NM and MM

▼ ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Background
Caesarean section deliveries are the most common procedures performed by obstetricians in Zimbabwe. Surgical site infections (SSI) following caesarean section delivery result in increased hospital stay, treatment, cost, hospital readmission rates and related maternal morbidity and mortality.
There is no national surveillance system for SSIs in Zimbabwe, however, information is available on number of cases of post-operative wound infection after caesarean section, but the denominator and definition used is not consistent. The objective of this study were develop and strengthen the surveillance system in Zimbabwe, to establish a clinical-based system in a setting with limited microbiological access, to measure post-operative SSI after caesarean section and to describe the associated risk factors and to determine whether feedback of SSI data has any effect on the surgical site infection incidence rate.
Methodology
This was a before and after study with two rolling cohort periods conducted at two Central hospitals in Harare, Zimbabwe. An Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) intervention was conducted in-between. During the pre-intervention period, baseline demographic and clinical data were collected using a structured questionnaire, and during the post-intervention period the impact of the interventions was measured. Convenience sampling was employed.
Results
A total of 290 women consented to participate in the study in the pre intervention period, 86.9% (n= 252) completed the 30-days post-operative follow-up and the incidence rate of SSI was 29.0% (n=73, 95% CI:23.4-35.0)
Interventions developed included: training in Infection Prevention and Control for health workers; implementation of a protocol for cleaning surgical instruments; dissemination of information on post-operative wound management for the women.
After implementation of the intervention, 314 women were recruited for the post-intervention, 92.3%(n= 290) completed the 30-day follow-up and there was a significant (p<0.001) reduction in the incidence rate of SSIs to 12.1 % (n=35, 95% CI: 8.3 -15.8) during this period.
Development of SSI after caesarean section was found to be significantly associated with emergency surgery (p<0.001), surgical wound class IV (p=0.001) and shaving at home (p<0.001) at both pre- intervention and post-intervention periods.

Conclusion
This study shows that caesarean section can be performed with low incidence of SSI if appropriate interventions such as training in IPC, adequate cleaning of equipment and education in wound-care for the mother are adhered to. It also demonstrated a simple surveillance data collection tool can be used on a wide scale in resource limited countries to assist policy makers with monitoring and evaluation of SSI rates as well as assessment of risk factors.

▼ The study attempted to identify factors influencing women’s preference for home births in the Mutare District, Zimbabwe. A quantitative, descriptive, exploratory, cross sectional survey, gathering data by conducting structured interviews with 150 women, was used. All 150 women attended antenatal clinics but did not deliver their babies at health care facilities. The research results indicated that home deliveries might decline if:
• the hospital/clinic fees were reduced or removed
• transport would be available for women in labour to reach hospitals/clinics
• shelters were built for pregnant women at hospitals/clinics
• clinics were well equipped and had sufficient numbers of midwives
• women had received more effective health education on the advantages of institutional deliveries and on the danger signs of pregnancy/labour complications
• nurses/midwives would treat patients respectfully.
Unless these factors are addressed, the number of home deliveries might not decline, and the high
maternal/infant
mortality and
morbidity rates in this district will persist.

▼ BACKGROUND: Social isolation (SI) has been seen as an emerging socioeconomic factor that negatively affects health. A considerable body of research has found that SI is associated with increased risk of all-cause mortality. However, the magnitude of the association varies in different studies. Besides that, these studies were conducted mainly in high-income countries. METHODS: We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to examine the effect size of SI on mortality. Also, we examined the associated mortality risk using data from the Prospective Urban and Rural Epidemiology (PURE) study of over 140,000 middle-aged adults from 21 countries with different income levels. RESULTS: Our systematic review and meta-analysis showed that the pooled hazard ratio of SI for all-cause mortality was 1.37 (95% confidence interval (CI) 1.28-1.46). The PURE study showed that the hazard ratio of SI for all-cause mortality was 1.26 (95% CI 1.16-1.36). Similar associations of SI with cardiovascular- and non-cardiovascular mortality as well as with incident diseases including stroke, cardiovascular disease, and injury were observed. The associations between SI and health outcomes were observed in diverse populations with different social structures and different country income levels. CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: The impact of SI on mortality would be expected to be greater in the future as the number of people with SI is projected to increase with population ageing in most societies. Our findings can be used by public health providers and policy makers to develop targeted strategies to reduce the risks associated with SI.
Thesis
Master of Health Sciences (MSc)
Social isolation (SI) is an emerging socioeconomic factor that could negatively affect health. Prior studies regarding SI were conducted mainly in high income countries. This thesis examines the effect of SI on mortality. This was done first in a systematic review and meta-analysis and, second, by examining the association between SI and health in an international large-scale cohort study (PURE: Prospective Urban Rural Epidemiology) conducted in 21 countries at different country income levels. Our systematic review and meta-analysis showed that SI was associated with 37% increased risk for mortality. The PURE study showed that the association of SI with mortality was seen in diverse populations with different social structures. The impact of SI on mortality would be expected to increase in the future as the number of people with SI is projected to increase with population ageing. This calls for measures to reduce mortality and morbidity in the socially isolated.

▼ Background: - Immunization remains one of the most important public health intervention and cost effective strategy to reduce child
mortality and
morbidity associated with infectious diseases and is estimated to avert between 2 and 3 million deaths each year. The objective of this study was to assess complete immunization coverage and its associated factors among children age 12-23 months in Sinana district.
Methods: - A cross-sectional community based survey was conducted in 6 kebeles (PA) of Sinana District from 29, December 2012 –16, January 2013. A modified World Health Organization Expanded Program on Immunization cluster sampling methods was used for household selection. Data on 591 children aged 12-23 months and mothers pair were collected by using a pre-tested structured questionnaire through house to house visits from vaccination card and mother’s verbal reports. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to assess factors associated with fully immunization coverage of children.
Results: - of 591 interviewed mothers’ of children, only 10.2% of the mothers have attended secondary and above level of education. Of children included in this study, only 33% of them had vaccination card at time of the survey and about 76.8% of the children aged 12-23 months were fully vaccinated by card plus history. Factors significantly associated with full immunization were antenatal care follow-up (adjusted odds ratio (AOR = 3.7, 95% CI: 2.3- 5.9), mother occupation being farmer (AOD=1.9, 95% CI:1.14-3.1), educational level of father being secondary and above (AOD=3.1, 95%CI:1.3-7.4), household family income greater than one thousand(AOD=3.2, 95% CI:1.4-7.4) , average walking time less than an hour(AOD=3.1, 95% CI:1.5-6.3), ever discuss about immunization with health service extension worker(AOD=2.4, 95%CI:1.32-4.2) and mother’s sufficient knowledge on immunization(AOD=2.5, 95% CI 1.5-4.2) , whereas area of residence , educational level of mother and child sex were not significantly associated.
Conclusion: - Even though, immunization coverage of children in sinana district gets improvement over national coverage, yet it is below governmental plan of 90%.
Maternal Health care utilization and knowledge of mother about vaccine and Vaccine Preventable Diseases are the main factors associated with complete immunization coverage. It is vital that, local programmatic intervention should be strengthened to upgrade awareness of the community on the importance of immunization, antenatal care and working on advancing economical status of community is the way to optimize children’s immunization coverage.

▼ Background: Perinatal mortality, defined as death occurring after 28 weeks gestation up to one week of
life, remains the biggest contributor to infant mortality. The magnitude of mortality in Kenya is mostly
described using hospital derived data. Given that only an estimated 40% of women attending antenatal
clinics in Kenya deliver in hospital, it is possible that the most of these mortalities therefore go
unreported. This study was conducted in Naivasha, a town with a large peri-urban and rural catchment,
with a unique cosmopolitan and predominantly farming population. It targeted pregnant women attending
the antenatal clinic in order to capture all birth outcomes regardless of where they occurred.
Objectives: The primary objective was to determine the prevalence of perinatal mortality and early
neonatal morbidity of babies born to women attending Antenatal clinic at Naivasha District Hospital. The
secondary objective was to determine the risk factors for perinatal mortality and early neonatal morbidity
of babies born to women attending the clinic. The risk factors included maternal pregnancy
complications, circumstances of delivery and signs of early neonatal illness.
Methods: Pregnant women attending the antenatal care clinic who were of 28 weeks gestation and
beyond were recruited consecutively during their regular antenatal attendance. They were then followed
up on phone to find out the outcome of their pregnancy at the end of one week post-delivery. All
mortality and morbidity events in the baby were recorded using a checklist modified from the WHO
verbal autopsy questionnaire.
Findings:
A total of 197 were recruited into the study. Overall there were 7(3.5%) deaths, with 4(2.0%) stillbirths
and 3 (1.5%) neonatal deaths in the first week of life. The perinatal mortality was 3.5% and 57% of these
deaths were still births. Twelve 12 (7.5%) babies had morbidity severe enough to warrant medical
treatment or hospitalization. Early neonatal morbidity was associated with increasing maternal age,
previous history of perinatal mortality, rupture of membranes longer than 12 hours and labour duration
longer than 12 hours. Prematurity and inability to breastfeed were associated increased mortality.
Mothers with a previous history of perinatal death were also at risk of losing their babies.
Conclusion:
There was a high perinatal mortality compared to the national average. Most of the deaths were still
births.

▼ Rwanda has so far paid little attention to 'healthy' intervals between pregnancies awareness programs on family planning and
maternal and child health. Results of this thesis shed some light on the contribution of IPI and the type of previous pregnancy outcome on fetal survival, neonatal
mortality and
maternal morbidity in Rwanda. By using the combined effect of IPI and the type of previous pregnancy outcome instead of Inter-Birth Interval (IBI), it became clear that analysis using IBI leave behind possible fetal deaths that are more likely to happen in between births and that do play a role in affecting the reproductive health of the mother. We posit that women will improve their reproductive health status and avoid the risk of a fetal death trap if they wait at least two years after the previous fetal death. This finding relates to the findings from other developing countries such as Bangladesh (in opposite to findings from developed countries), and might be related to the absence of post-abortion care. Results from other studies give no assurance about what exactly is a healthy interval. In a bid to avoid methodological flaw, studies on infant
mortality should avoid selectivity bias by concomitantly considering fetal survival. Yet, we found little evidence for simultaneous effects of short IPI’s fetal and neonatal
mortality. The causes for neonatal
mortality are not moderated by the inter-pregnancy interval while those for fetal loss are. Short IPIs are not associated with
maternal morbidity, yet primigravida and women with long IPIs showed increased risks of third trimester bleeding, premature rupture of membrane and lower limb edema. Primigravida showed adverse outcomes throughout this study, implying that programs geared to reduce
maternal death and neonatal
mortality should consider primigravida with particular attention. After a pregnancy loss, a pregnancy interval longer than six months must be observed to prevent recurrence. Also women with very long IPI (<=5 years) have consistently shown increased risks of fetal loss, neonatal death and
maternal morbidity. Our findings contribute to the debate whether older age of the mother might be hiding behind the effect of very long interval length. We found no negative effects of older age, and a remaining strong effect of long inter-pregnancy interval, which again supports the physiological regression hypothesis. Policy wise, avoiding short IPIs can be achieved through the use of post-partum contraception while long IPIs remain problematic to avoid, given that a desired pregnancy may be precluded by sub-fertility, availability of a partner, economic issues or illness. In the context of poor countries like Rwanda, a full reproductive health package is necessary and pregnancy management strategies should be encouraged through family planning for spacing pregnancies, and the promotion of health seeking behavior in the form ante- and post-natal care. Hospital staff should encourage post-abortion medication, and health centers in remote areas of the country should be…

▼ É considerado um caso de morbidade materna extremante grave (MMEG) ou near miss uma mulher que quase foi a óbito, mas sobreviveu a complicação que ocorreu durante a gravidez, parto ou até 42 dias do término da gestação. Os critérios para identificação de casos de MMEG têm sido discutidos por diversos autores que levam em consideração as condições clínicas, laboratoriais e/ou manejo dos casos. Os sistemas de informação em saúde disponíveis atualmente no Brasil, tais como o SIH-SUS (Sistema de Informações Hospitalares do SUS), Sistema de informação sobre Nascidos vivos (SINASC) e Sistema de Informação sobre Mortalidade (SIM) contam com grande número de dados que poderiam contribuir para estudos da morbidade materna. Este trabalho tem como objetivos analisar a situação da morbimortalidade materna e infantil a partir dos Sistemas de Informações em Saúde; adequar os critérios de MMEG; identificar e analisar os casos de MMEG na base de dados do SIH-SUS visando subsidiar o planejamento das ações de saúde materna. Entre as 8620 mulheres residentes em Juiz de Fora, MG, no período de 2006 e 2007, internadas com causas codificadas dentro do Capítulo XV da CID-10 ou que receberam procedimentos obstétricos, 326 apresentaram alguma condição clínica e/ou procedimento selecionado como MMEG e uma foi a óbito. A taxa de mortalidade materna foi 12,0 por 100.000 mulheres. A letalidade 3,1 por mil mulheres e a prevalência de MMEG, 39,0 por 1000 mulheres. A média de tempo de internação foi de 3,5 e 10,5 dias para as mulheres sem e com morbidade, respectivamente. O tempo de internação maior que quatro dias foi 13 vezes mais alto entre as mulheres que apresentaram MMEG. A razão de prevalência para permanência do recém-nascido após alta da mãe, ter filhos nascidos mortos e óbito da criança antes da alta da mãe foi mais elevada entre as mulheres com MMEG, respectivamente 2,52, 4,86 e 4,41. As variáveis tempo de internação, número de internações e filhos nascidos mortos mostraram-se como fatores preditores para a MMEG na análise de regressão logística (p <0,001). Entre os procedimentos/condições selecionados os mais frequentes foram a transfusão de hemoderivados, permanência a maior e pré-eclampsia grave/eclampsia, com prevalências de morbidades específicas de 15,7/1000, 9,5/1000 e 8,2/1000, respectivamente. A razão de prevalência de MMEG encontrada e as prevalências específicas de transfusão de hemoderivados e pré-eclampsia grave/eclampsia são achados consistentes com a literatura existente e demonstram que o uso de associação de algumas tabelas do SIH-SUS tem grande potencial para identificação dos casos de MMEG. O critério utilizado para identificação dos casos é factível e pode contribuir para a vigilância da morbimortalidade materna e para ampliar o conhecimento sobre os aspectos que a envolve, contribuindo assim para a melhoria na qualidade da assistência à mulher no período gravídico-puerperal.

▼ Developing an Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) system for the Somali language, though not novel, is not actively explored; hence there has been no success in a model for conversational speech. Neither are related works accessible as open-source. The unavailability of digital data is what labels Somali as a low resource language and poses the greatest impediment to the development of an ASR for Somali. The incentive to develop an ASR system for the Somali language is to contribute to reducing the Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) in Somalia. Researchers acquire interview audio data regarding maternal health and behaviour in the Somali language; to be able to engage the relevant stakeholders to bring about the needed change, these audios must be transcribed into text, which is an important step towards translation into any language. This work investigates available ASR for Somali and attempts to develop a prototype ASR system to convert Somali audios into Somali text. To achieve this target, we first identified the available open-source systems for speech recognition and selected the DeepSpeech engine for the implementation of the prototype. With three hours of audio data, the accuracy of transcription is not as required and cannot be deployed for use. This we attribute to insufficient training data and estimate that the effort towards an ASR for Somali will be more significant by acquiring about 1200 hours of audio to train the DeepSpeech engine

▼ Introduction: Preeclampsia (PE) is a major cause of
maternal and fetal
morbidity and
mortality and is associated with numerous complications. The
imbalance of angiogenic factors plays a key role in the pathogenesis. The aim
of our study is to demonstrate, whether the additional measurement of the
ratio of the antiangiogenic factor soluble Fms like tyrosine kinase-1 (sFlt-1)
to the proangiogenic factor Placental Growth Factor (PlGF) is able to predict
the occurrence of preeclampsia associated complications within four weeks in
women with the suspicion of preeclampsia. Methods: In this prospective,
multicentered, double-blinded study we examined 209 pregnant women. Serum
levels of sFlt-1 and PlGF were measured at presentation using fully automated
Elecsys® ELISA. The participants were retrospectively divided into six groups
based on the occurrence of preeclampsia associated complications and the
predictive accuracy of the sFlt-1/PlGF ratio was determined. Results: 72 of
209 participants developed at least one preeclampsia associated complication.
Among 161 participants who were included before 34 weeks of gestation, 34 had
adverse outcomes. The median sFlt-1/PlGF ratio was significantly higher in
participants who experienced any adverse outcome compared to those who did not
(group 6: 87.4 versus 5.6, p < 0.001). The results were more distinctive at
examination before 34 weeks of gestation (group 6 < 34 weeks: 148.4 versus
5.6, p < 0.001). The prediction of having an iatrogenic delivery because of
preeclampsia or HELLP syndrome (group 1) had a high predictive accuracy (cut-
off 114.4: sensitivity = 79 %, specificity = 89 %, NPV = 98 %, PPV = 35 %, -
LR = 0.24, + LR = 7.19). The occurrence of any adverse outcome at inclusion
before 34 weeks gestation (group 6 < 34 weeks) could also be accurately
predicted (cut-off 49.4: sensitivity = 87 %, specificity = 85 %, NPV = 96 %,
PPV = 60 %, - LR = 0.15, + LR = 6.00). Conclusion: Our results demonstrate
that the sFlt-1/PlGF ratio has the potential to predict preeclampsia
associated complications. At a ratio cut-off of 49.4, the best prediction for
any adverse outcome is achieved with a NPV of 96 % and a PPV of 60 % at
presentation before 34 weeks of gestation. The additional determination of the
sFlt-1/PlGF ratio is an important tool in the differential diagnostic work-up
in women presenting with high risk for the disease. The test has the potential
to facilitate clinical management with regard to a targeted therapeutic
decision-making and could help to identify adverse outcomes at an early stage.

▼ Large epidemiological and animal studies have revealed a clear association of adverse intrauterine environment with the increased risk of metabolic, cardiovascular and neurological diseases.
Maternal smoking is the single most widespread perinatal insult in the world and has been associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes for mother, fetus and the newborn. Our study aims to test the hypothesis that perinatal nicotine exposure induces reprogramming of susceptibility to hypoxic ischemic brain injury in the immature brain, focusing on the roles of AT1R and/or AT2R and trying to reveal the underlying epigenetic mechanisms. Therefore, we established two rat models: perinatal nicotine exposure model in time-dated pregnant rats; hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) in 10-day-old rat pups. In the first part of our study, we demonstrated that nicotine exposure induces aberrant brain development in P10 pups, downregulating AT2R expression in male but upregulating AT2R in female pup brain, enhancing brain vulnerability to HIE in a sex-specific manner. In addition, we observed both AT1R and AT2R are implicated in the pathogenesis of neonatal HIE and confers neuroprotective property; AT2R plays the pivotal and causal role in nicotine induced sex-dependent alteration of vulnerability to HIE in the developing rat brain. Our further study focused on the epigenetic mechanisms involved in nicotine exposure mediated pathological effects in HIE. We demonstrated that perinatal nicotine exposure causes heightened methylation status of a single CpG adjacent to TATA-box at AT2R promoter, inhibiting TBP and recruiting MeCP2 binding, repressing AT2R gene expression, contributing to the enhanced vulnerability to HIE brain injury in male rat pups. All of pathological effects are reversed by administration of 5-Aza, a well-known DNA methylase inhibitor. These findings provide new insights in understanding of the pathogenesis of HIE in newborns and may suggest potential targets for the prevention and treatment of HIE, one of the most common causes of brain damage with severe
mortality and long-lasing
morbidity in infants and children.

▼ Le ratio de mortalité maternelle en Afrique de l’Ouest est le plus élevé au monde et l’hémorragie du post-partum (HPP) y est la principale cause directe de mortalité maternelle. L’objectif général de ce travail était d’apporter des connaissances pour améliorer la prise en charge des HPP dans les structures hospitalières en Afrique de l’Ouest. Tout d’abord, nous avons montré que les facteurs de risques maternels de morbi-mortalité liée à l’HPP retrouvés dans les pays à ressources élevées étaient généralisables au contexte de l’Afrique de l’Ouest. Par ailleurs, nos analyses suggèrent que la qualification du médecin en charge du service de maternité (médecin généraliste versus gynécologue-obstétricien) a un impact déterminant sur la survie des femmes présentant une HPP dans ce contexte. Ensuite, nous avons montré que l'injection d'ocytocine dans les dix minutes qui suivent le diagnostic d’HPP était un facteur déterminant pour améliorer la santé maternelle au Bénin et au Mali. Le diagnostic rapide de l’HPP et une meilleure surveillance du post-partum immédiat étaient également importants. Enfin, nous avons mis en place une étude pilote pour évaluer la faisabilité d’un essai contrôlé randomisé (ECR) dont l’objectif est de tester l’efficacité du tamponnement utérin par condom catheter dans la prise en charge des hémorragies du post-partum dans cette région. Les résultats ont montré que la mise en place d’un ECR était faisable et ont apporté des connaissances supplémentaires pour optimiser le protocole de recherche. Ainsi, nous avons identifié un certain nombre de facteurs sur lesquels des actions doivent être menées pour améliorer la qualité de la prise en charge de l’HPP.
The maternal mortality ratio in West Africa is the highest in the world and postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is the leading direct cause of maternal mortality. The general objective of this work was to provide knowledge to improve the management of PPH in hospitals in West Africa. Firstly, we have highlighted that maternal risk factors for morbidity and mortality related to the PPH found in high-resource countries were generalizable to the context of West Africa. Furthermore, our analysis suggests that the qualification of the doctor in charge of the maternity unit (general practitioner versus obstetrician) has a decisive impact on the maternal issue in this context. Then, we showed that injection of oxytocin within ten minutes after the diagnosis of PPH was a key factor for improving maternal health in Benin and Mali. Rapid diagnosis of PPH and better monitoring of the immediate postpartum period were also important. Finally, we set up a pilot study to assess the feasibility of a randomized controlled trial (RCT), which aims to test the effectiveness of uterine tamponade with condom catheter in the postpartum hemorrhage management in this region. The results showed that f a RCT was feasible and provided additional knowledge to optimize the research protocol. Thus, we have identified a number of factors on which action should be taken to improve the…

▼ Introduction: Severe acute malnutrition has continued to cause high disease burden in Zambia. Mortality rates at the University Teaching Hospital (UTH) were as high as up to 50% in 2008. There is paucity of published data on mortality and morbidity trends in under-five children with SAM at UTH. This study aimed to determine mortality and morbidity trends in under-five children with severe acute malnutrition at UTH.
Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional study, of all children admitted to ward A07 from January 2009 to December 2013. The study was done to assess trends in mortality, and how they are affected by morbidity, co-morbidity, and length of stay. A total of 9540 under-five children were analysed. The median and inter quartile ranges (IQR) were used to summarize and describe the data, as the data was not normally distributed. The Chi-square test was used to test the difference between the samples of the categorical variables sex, morbidity, co-morbidity and residence. In addition Kruskal Wallis was used to compare if means of the numerical variables length of stay on the ward and age for the different mortality, morbidity, and co-morbidity groups were different. Logistic regression was used to predict the odds of death in the independent variables and to control for confounding since the dependent variable mortality was categorical. Cuzick a non parametric test for trends was used to test mortality and morbidity trends. Furthermore survival analysis was done using Wilcoxon and Cox proportion hazard regression to test of difference of survival for the different groups and illustrated using Kaplan-Meier curves.
Results: Overall, 45.9% (4,386) were females and 53.9% males, median age was 17 months (IQR 12 to 22 months), and median length of stay was 8 days, (IQR of 3 to 14). The overall mortality rate was 46.7% with overall prevalence of HIV at 32.2% (2,589). About 62% (5,609) had Kwashiorkor 21.6% had Marasmus and 16.4% had marasmic-Kwashiorkor. Children with Marasmus had the highest prevalence of HIV infection at 40.1% (703). Kwashiorkor was associated with high prevalence of Anaemia 13.2% (121) while, Marasmic-Kwashiorkor had the highest prevalence of Diarrhoea (33.6%). Children with TB had the longest length of stay on the ward (14 days) and those with Septicaemia the shortest stay (4 days). Children who had co-morbidity were 50% more likely to die than those without co-morbidity. Of the children that
xiii
died, those who were HIV infected were 4 times more likely to die and children with Septicaemia were 3.8 times more likely to die than those with Anaemia respectively. Kaplan Meier survival curves showed also that children with Marasmus, Diarrhoea, Septicaemia, tuberculosis, and those who were HIV infected had reduced survival rates. Mortality and morbidity trends decreased with admissions (from 2009 to 2013) and both trends were significant at p=0.000.
Conclusion: Declining mortality and morbidity in children with acute malnutrition at UTH may suggest improved management practices. Nonetheless,…

▼ Introduction.: The evaluation and improvement of the
quality of health care services begins with the knowledge about the
trends and causes of diseases. Purpose: To describe the
morbidity
and
mortality patterns for the under-5 year old children who were
admitted in 11 district hospitals in Eastern Cape Province from
2000 to 2004. Methods: Descriptive study where a multi-stage
sampling technique was used to select 11 district hospitals. There
were 25,122 causes of paediatric ward admissions (2000 to 2004)
among under-5 children from ward register were reviewed and ICD-10
coded. Findings: Pre-transitional causes were the leading causes of
morbidity (68.4%) and
mortality (74.2%) especially diarrhoeal lower
respiratory tract infections and protein-energy malnutrition. There
was particularly among male high infant
morbidity and
mortality
rates observed from 2000 to 2004. Non-communicable diseases (8%
morbidity and 4.2%
mortality) and injuries (10%
morbidity and 4.4%
mortality) appeared to be of less public health concern among the
under-5 children. Majority of under-5
mortality (43.4%) occurred
within 24 hours of admissions (23.7% died on arrival). Influential
variables for
morbidity and
mortality were region (Eastern), age
(infants), year admitted and broad classification of the diseases
(group I causes). There was a constant increase in
morbidity and
mortality which was observed during studied period. Conclusion:
Pre-transitional causes (especially diarrhoeal, lower respiratory
tract infections and protein energy malnutrition) were of public
health concern among the under-5 children and their magnitude has
increased over the years studied. Copyright
