Background: Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) is one of the health indicators to see maternal survival in general and is a component in the health development index. Maternal Mortality Rate is also an important indicator of the quality of health services and the performance of the Health system.Objective: This study aimed to analyze the spatial patterns of maternal mortality based on the mortality causes in Sambas District, West Kalimantan, Indonesia.Methods: This study used a descriptive and exploratory approach to be able to see the distribution of maternal mortality and the coverage of the distribution of health care facilities. A spatial pattern was carried out to analyze the distribution pattern of maternal mortality cases using the Average Nearest Neighbor.Results: The results showed that most maternal mortality causes include bleeding, pregnancy hypertension, circulation system disorders (heart, stroke), metabolic disorders (diabetes mellitus), and other causes, such as pulmonary embolism. The analysis using a buffer of 3 kilometers and 5 kilometers show that not all the areas are covered by health service facilities in the Sambas district. Analysis of the mean of the nearest neighbors showed that the Nearest Neighbor ratio was 1.039398 with a z-score of 1.022396, which means that the pattern of distribution of maternal death according to the cause of death has a random pattern.Conclusion: The spatial pattern of cases of maternal death according to the cause of death in the Sambas district, West Kalimantan, Indonesia, has a random pattern. This finding can be used as a basis for decreasing the maternal mortality rate.

Abstract Backround: The available literature indicates that there are significant differences in maternal mortality according to maternal origin in high income countries. The aim of this study was to examine the trend in the maternal mortality rate and its most common causes in Spain in recent years and to analyse its relationship with maternal origin.Methods: This was a cross-sectional study of all live births as well as those resulting in maternal death in Spain during the period between 2000 and 2018. A descriptive analysis of the maternal mortality rate by cause, region of birth, maternal age, marital status, human development index and continent of maternal origin was performed. The risk of maternal death was calculated using univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses, with adjustment for certain variables included in the descriptive analysis.Results: There was a total of 293 maternal deaths and 8,439,324 live births during the study period. The most common cause of maternal death was hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. The average maternal death rate was 3.47 per 100,000 live births. The risk of suffering from this complication was higher for immigrant women from less developed countries; therefore, a decrease of 0.01 in the maternal human development index score significantly increased the risk of this complication by 2.4%.Conclusions: The results of this study indicate that there are inequalities in maternal mortality according to maternal origin in Spain. The human development index of the country of maternal origin could be a useful tool when estimating the risk of this complication, taking into account the origin of the pregnant woman.

Introduction: Health and mortality problems are closely related to the maternal mortality rate (MMR). Efforts to reduce MMR have been carried out by many countries, including the Indonesian government. Materials and Methods: This research was conducted using two approaches, namely quantitative and qualitative or mixed methods and 149 respondents and 26 informants, to reduce MMR in Dairi Regency. This study was also carried out to determine the dominant variable that affects mother's behavior in an effort to reduce MMR in accordance with the existing theory. Result: Mother's intention to contribute to the reduction of MMR in this study was influenced by the good factor directly or indirectly. This is indicated by the score p<0.005. The study also shows that it is very important for the health workers to be able to communicate well with individuals and communities. Conclusion: The present study will help to reduce maternal fatalities, and will help to build systems and processes that will allow control the behaviour of the pregnant women and determine the cause of death as well as its contributing factors.

Objective: To determine the maternal deaths and the factors affecting them in our city. Methods: The maternal deaths occurred in our city between January 2015 and June 2020 were reviewed retrospectively. The review was conducted by checking “Maternal Death Registry Forms” of the Provincial Directorate of Health. In cases where additional data related with the cause of death were required, the relatives of the cases, associated family practitioner, The Council of Forensic Medicine or local authorities were contacted. The data of the cases including age, gravida, parity, abortion, delivery type, week of gestation during delivery, period of death and maternal deaths due to direct, indirect and incidental causes were recorded. Based on total live births and maternal deaths within 6.5 years, maternal mortality rate was found as the maternal death number per 100,000 live births. Descriptive statistics were used for the statistical analysis of the data. Results: A total of 46.618 live births occurred between 2015 and 2020 in Elazığ. The number of maternal deaths due to direct and indirect causes is 7, and maternal mortality rate was found 15.01/100,000. Hypertensive diseases during pregnancy (n=3, 42.8%), pulmonary embolism (n=1, 14.3%) and cerebral thrombosis (n=1, 14.3%) were among the natural causes of maternal deaths. Indirect cause for maternal death was cardiac diseases (n=2, 28.6%). When they were categorized according to the Three Delays Model, there were 3 death cases in the first delay model and 2 death cases in the third delay model, but there was no maternal death in the second delay model. Conclusion: Maternal death is an significant public health issue which develops due to the generally preventable causes and maintains its importance. The factors contributing to death should be paid attention in order to decrease maternal death rates.

  ABSTRACT Maternal Mortality Rate is a barometer of mother health service in a country. At this time maternal mortality rate in Indonesia is still very high. Indonesia Demography Survey on 2007, maternal mortality rate is about 28 per 100.000 of live births. The direct cause of maternal mortality in Indonesia as well as in the other country is hemorraghe (25%), sepsis (15%), eklampsia (12%), abstructed labor (8%). World Health Organization (WHO), 35-37% of pregnant women in developing coutries get anemy. Causing factor’s of anemy on pregnant women is age of pregnant, parity, economi socio, job, education, and nutritional status. Purpose of this research is to know the associated factors with incidence of anemy on pregnant women at the Health Center Talang Ratu Palembang in 2014. This research use analytic survey method with “cross sectional” approach. Population in this research is all of preganant women in medical treatment at Talang Ratu Palembang in 2014. Sample taking in this research with non random samplingmethod and accidental sampling technic. Analysis with univariatly and bivariatlywith Chi Square Statistic test with significant level α 0,05. The result of this research show that from 35 respondent there is (48,6%) respondent with anemy, high–risk age (28,6%), high parity (60,0%) and low economi socio (37,1%). This result show that there is significant relationship between age with incidence of anemy on pregnant women at the health center Talang Ratu Palembang in 2014 with p value0,027, there is significant relationship between parity with incidence of anemy on pregnant women at the health center Talang Ratu Palemabang in 2014 with p value0,023, and there is significant relationship between economi socio with incidence of anemy on pregnant women at the health center Talang Ratu Palembang in 2014 with p value0,026. Of the result, the author hope that health service worker at Talang Ratu health center can improve health service to pregnant women and often giving information about anemy on pregnant and nutritional for pregnant women during pregnancy.     ABSTRAK Angka Kematian Ibu (AKI) merupakan barometer pelayanan kesehatan ibu di suatu negara. Pada saat ini angka kematian ibu di Indonesia masih sangat tinggi. Menurut Survey Demografi dan Kesehatan Indonesia (SDKI) tahun 2007, angka kematian kematian ibu adalah 28 per 100.000 kelahiran hidup. Penyebab langsung kematian ibu di Indonesia seperti halnya Negara lain adalah perdarahan (25%), sepsis (15%), eklampsi (12%), partus lama (8%). Menurut World Health Organization (WHO), 35-37% ibu hamil di negara berkembang dan 18% di negara  maju mengalami anemia. Faktor penyebab terjadinya anemia pada ibu hamil secara tidak langsung adalah umur ibu, paritas, sosial ekonomi, pekerjaan, pendidikan, jarak kehamilan, dan status gizi.Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui faktor - faktor apa saja yang berhubungan dengan kejadian anemia pada ibu hamil di Puskesmas Talang Ratu Palembang Tahun 2014.

Poisson regression is a nonlinear regression which is often used for count data and has equidispersion assumption (variance value equal to mean value). However in practice, equidispersion assumption is often violated. One of it violations is overdispersion (variance value greater than the mean value). One of the causes of overdipersion is excessive number of zero values on the response variable (excess zeros). There are many methods to handle overdispersion because of excess zeros. Two of them are Zero Inflated Poisson (ZIP) regression and Zero Inflated Negative Binomial (ZINB) regression. The purpose of this research is to determine which regression models is better in handling overdispersion data. The data that can be analyzed using the ZIP and ZINB regression is maternal mortality rate in the Province of Bali. Maternal mortality rate data has proportion of zeros value more than 50% on the response variable.  In this research, ZINB regression better than ZIP regression for modeling maternal mortality rate. The independent variable that affects the number of maternal mortality rate in the Province of Bali  is the percentage of mothers who carry a pregnancy visit, with ZINB regression models and .

Background: According to the WHO, 80 of maternal deaths in developing countries are due to direct maternal causes such as haemorrhage, hypertensive disorders and sepsis. These deaths are largely preventable. Maternal mortality ratio (MMR) in India is 167/100,000 live births.Methods: This retrospective observational study was conducted at GMERS, Valsad. Data regarding maternal deaths from January 2016 to December 2017 were collected and analyzed with respect to epidemiological parameters. The number of live births in the same period was obtained from the labour ward ragister. Maternal mortality rate and Mean maternal mortality ratio for the study period was calculated.Results: The mean Maternal mortality rate in the study period was 413.3/100,000 births. The maternal mortality ratio (MMR) in India is 167/100,000 live births. More than half of maternal deaths were reported in multiparous patients. More maternal deaths were observed in women from rural areas (67.3%), unbooked patients (73.3%) and illiterate women (65.3%). Thirty six (69.3%) maternal death occurred during postpartum period. Most common delay was first delay (60.0%) followed by second delay (40.0%). Postpartum haemorrhage (28.8%), preeclampsia (17.3%), sepsis (13.46%) were the major direct causes of maternal deaths. Indirect causes accounted for one third of maternal deaths in our study. Anemia, hepatitis and heart disease were responsible for 13.4%, 5.7%, and 1.9% of maternal deaths, respectively.Conclusions: Majority of maternal deaths are observed in patients from rural areas, unbooked, and illiterate patients. Hemorrhage, eclampsia and sepsis are leading causes of maternal deaths. Most of these maternal deaths are preventable if patients are given appropriate treatment at periphery and timely referred to higher centers.

Background: The spectrum of jaundice in pregnancy varies from a benign condition with good maternal and fetal outcome to a severe form resulting in liver failure and maternal and fetal mortality. Jaundice may complicate 3-5% of pregnancies. Present study was aimed to analyze the cause, course and impact of jaundice during pregnancy so as to have better understanding and hence better feto-maternal outcome. The present study aimed to analyze the various causes of hepatic dysfunction in pregnancy, maternal and fetal outcome in pregnancies complicated by jaundice and various hematological and liver function variables for predicting maternal and fetal outcome.Methods: The present study was an observational study conducted in the department of obstetrics and gynecology, Pt. JNM medical college and associated Dr. BRAM hospital, Raipur (CG) over period of 2 year from September 2018 to September 2020.Results: Total 0.72% pregnancies were complicated by jaundice. HELLP syndrome was the commonest cause of jaundice in pregnancy (36.7%), followed by viral hepatitis (32.7%). Hepatitis E was the most common type of viral hepatitis (91.8%). Hemolytic jaundice presented with best maternal outcome (maternal mortality rate 8.6%). Worst maternal outcome was seen in AFLP (maternal mortality rate 100%). Best fetal outcome was seen in viral hepatitis (live birth rate 67.6%), whereas worst noted with AFLP (fetal death rate 66.6%). Higher total serum bilirubin, higher serum AST, anemia and deranged INR had significant correlation with maternal mortality.Conclusions: HELLP syndrome and viral hepatitis are preventable causes of jaundice yet it contributed to significant proportion of maternal deaths in 26.5 and 18.5% cases respectively. AFLP is often under diagnosed and had a fulminant course in pregnancy causing maternal and fetal mortality.

Introduction: Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) is indicator of public health degree. The cause of maternal mortality is postpartum infection. Streptococcus agalactiae bacterium contributes to postpartum infection incidence through vaginal or reproductive organ injury. Infection incidence is characterized with the increased level of leukocyte. The treatment of post-partum infection is done by administering antibiotics. Red sesbania leaves contains active substance that can inhibit the microbial growth. Objective: This research aimed to find out the effect of red sesbania leaves extract administration as antimicrobial agent to decrease leukocyte level in post partum mice (Mus musculus) infected with Streptococcus agalactiae. Method: The method employed was true experimental one with post test control group design, by dividing postpartum mice into 4 groups: one control group and three treatment groups at doses of 125 mg/kgBW, 250 mg/kgBW, and 500 mg/kgBW. All 0-12 hour post partum mice were inoculated with Streptococcus agalactiae bacterium. The administration of 1 ml red sesbania leaves extract in treatment group was conducted 2 hours after the bacterial administration at doses of 125 mg/kgBW, 250 mg/kgBW, and 500 mg/kgBW. Result: The result of analysis shows p < 0.05, indicating that the decrease of leukocyte level in all treatment groups (P1, P2, P3). Conclusion: Red sesbania leaves extract has antimicrobial activity that can reduce leukocyte level, thereby can be used as an alternative therapy to decrease maternal mortality rate due to post-partum infectin. KEYWORDS Red sesbania leaves extract, postpartum mice, leukocyte level, Streptococcus agalactiae.

Population is an important factor in development of a country. As a constraint, not only the size of the population is important but also its quality in the development process. Women’s health is considered all over the world and the data about this aspect is published by the World Health Organization annually. Among others maternal mortality rate is one of the major problems affecting women’s health and population. Everyday 830 women die due to the problems related to pregnancy and childbirth in the world. While this number is relatively lower in the developed countries, it is higher in the underdeveloped and developing countries. In addition, the maternal mortality rate in the Caucasus and Central Asia ranks in the worst third in the world. In the Kyrgyz Republic, this rate is 82.083333 per 10000 live births which is the worst in the region. Therefore, it is among one of the countries where the maternal mortality should be reduced in the framework of the Millennium Development Goals. In this study, the determinants of maternal mortality rate are analyzed in the Kyrgyz Republic regions during 2000-2015 by using static panel data methods fixed effects and random effects. The findings show that there are significant decreasing effects of GDP, number of assistant physicians, births by skilled staff, improved sanitation facilities, and gender wage equality, there are significant increasing effects of health expenditures, medical facilities, and poverty among women on the maternal mortality.
