| dc.description.abstract | Mothers who delivered in the Mulago Hospital, Mulago, Uganda were enrolled in the study between March and August 1997. Of 9043 deliveries, there were 550 cases with morbidities, giving a morbidity prevalence rate of 6082 morbidities per 100 000 deliveries. Maternal mortality during the same period was 774 per 100 000 deliveries, giving a rate of 7.85 morbidities per death. Poor access to a health facility was associated with most morbidities. Pregnancy induced hypertension (preeclampsia and eclampsia) was the most frequent morbidity (26.41%), followed by sepsis (15.72%) and postpartum haemorrhage (10.53%). Maternal illnesses had negative effects on fetal outcome. | |
