Abstract


Objective: To discover the factors affecting the occurrence of maternal deaths. The high maternal mortality rate (MMR) in Indonesia is still a common problem which needs urgent solution.

Methods: This is an analytic observational, cross-sectional study using a case control approach Fifty two cases were selected as cases, another 52 were selected as control. The sampling was performed by simple random sampling.

Data analysis was performed using chi-square test.

Results: In this study, the results showed that the risk factors contributing to maternal deaths were pregnancy complication (p<0.001), delivery complication (p<0.001), puerpural complication (p=0.022), age (p=0.030), parity (p=0.427), prior medical history (p<0.001), antenatal care (p=0.007), maternal education (p=0.527), and area of residence (p=0.049).

Conclusions: The risk factors that contribute to maternal deaths include pregnancy complication, delivery complication, puerpural complication, maternal age, prior medical history, antenatal care, and area of residence.
