| Abstract | ||
| The aim of the present study is to depict a baseline data and estimates of maternal morbidity that affect women during perperium, its causes and predictors, by use cohort study design The participants were Nine hundred and forty three pregnant women (n = 943) admitted to Al– Khansaa and Al–Batool maternity hospitals. Cases were those pregnant women who attended the mentioned maternity hospitals for delivery. They were chosen on consecutive basis. The data collection tool was a questionnaire prepared for this purpose. All included women were interviewed and examined at the time of admission and on the 7 th and 42 nd days post–delivery. At the time of admission 67.1% of the study sample had one disease or more. Follow–up of the study women 7 days after delivery showed that 78.2% had one or more maternal morbidity. While in the second visit (i.e., 42 nd day postpartum) 71.7% had single or multiple morbidity. Maternal morbidity was significantly affected by maternal age (p < 0.035), partner’s occupation (p < 0.05), birth interval (p < 0.05) and birth attendants (p < 0.01). The present study indicates the causes and predictors of postpartum maternal morbidity in Mosul where almost all of them are preventable. | ||
